Every Time I See A Bird
Every time I see a bird
Flying over my head
I get to thinking could be you
Coming down to check
Every time I see a bird
Tumble out of the sky
Realize you're still alive, still alive
Spent the summer on the train
Passing cities in the night
Always planning my escape
A golden church of lies
Didn't need home like that 'til it died
I was just a kid with wool in my eyes
Lot of life denied
How'd you know I been dreaming
Of dangerous things?
It's five in the morning
I'm fixing again
You appear at the window
And open your wings
Surprise, surprise
A little bird arrives, you're still alive
The other day I saw a bird
Struggle in the wind
Beaten black and blue
Then rising up again
I want that fight to set me free
We get close but we don't speak
I know you're still alive
How'd you know I been dreaming
Of dangerous things?
It's five in the morning
I'm fixing again
You appear at the window
And open your wings
Surprise, surprise
A little bird arrives, you're still alive
Just at the minute when I'm starting to break (you're still alive)
Hand on the trigger, and I'm starting to shake (still alive)
You fall from the sky with perennial grace
Bird outside my window (you're still alive)
This hotel room is turning into a cage (you're still alive)
17 hours feels like 17 days (still alive)
You fall from the sky with perennial grace
Bird outside my window
Flying over my head
I get to thinking could be you
Coming down to check
Every time I see a bird
Tumble out of the sky
Realize you're still alive, still alive
Spent the summer on the train
Passing cities in the night
Always planning my escape
A golden church of lies
Didn't need home like that 'til it died
I was just a kid with wool in my eyes
Lot of life denied
How'd you know I been dreaming
Of dangerous things?
It's five in the morning
I'm fixing again
You appear at the window
And open your wings
Surprise, surprise
A little bird arrives, you're still alive
The other day I saw a bird
Struggle in the wind
Beaten black and blue
Then rising up again
I want that fight to set me free
We get close but we don't speak
I know you're still alive
How'd you know I been dreaming
Of dangerous things?
It's five in the morning
I'm fixing again
You appear at the window
And open your wings
Surprise, surprise
A little bird arrives, you're still alive
Just at the minute when I'm starting to break (you're still alive)
Hand on the trigger, and I'm starting to shake (still alive)
You fall from the sky with perennial grace
Bird outside my window (you're still alive)
This hotel room is turning into a cage (you're still alive)
17 hours feels like 17 days (still alive)
You fall from the sky with perennial grace
Bird outside my window
