Canary

Little yellow bird
Tell me to turn around
Open up my door
Blow my candles out
Sing a song for me
Or give me a warning sign
Tell me I'm in danger
Tell me I'm fine

Say it loud, I can take it
This love I've been faking for a while
She only wants me when she needs a drinking buddy
He only wants me cause old habits die hard, honey

Sing at the top of your lungs
Or I will run away
And I'll buy electric flowers
So nothing can burst into flames
And it doesn't matter what I tell myself
Because I know myself too well
Your silence is strong
But canary, I need your song

Little yellow bird
Give me the best of you
Has this all just been one big test to you?
Is it just the dust blown off from photos past
Bringing tears tonight
And tell me it won't last

Say it loud I can take it
This love we've been making is on trial
She only wants me when she needs some validation
He only wants me when it's Sunday and he's losing patience

Sing at the top of your lungs
Or I will run away
And I'll buy electric flowers
So nothing can burst into flames
And it doesn't matter what I tell myself
Because I know myself too well
Your silence is strong
But canary, I need your song

Help me out
I give the benefit of the doubt so many times
And I've found
It's nothing but a flicker of light
Too often to count
I am magnetized
I am galvanized
I am mesmerized by the fear
Sparkling
So just sing

At the top of your lungs
Or I will run away
And I'll buy electric flowers
So nothing can burst into flames
And it doesn't matter what I tell myself
Because I know myself too well
Your silence is strong
But canary, I need your song

We never got along
But canary, I need your song
