Jailbird
Running away from deciding
You can hide in your hands
But I know that you're looking
Beautiful brain scrutinizing
Every bar, every slur
Every word, you're just lurking
Trying to act so nonchalant
'Cause you know what they say
Use the wrong key and you'll jam the lock
For now this jailbird's gotta wait
Maybe we can have our own place to haunt
Maybe we could have a couple chairs to rock
Maybe we could sit on the porch and talk
Maybe we could fire off warning shots
Maybe we could fire off warnings
Maybe I could see you in the morning
Maybe I'll see you again
Maybe I'll see you again
Going insane, psychosomatic
I'm on fire, I'm freezing
Unfocused, it's my fault
Try to explain I'm claustrophobic
And your bigness has got me addicted by default
What can I say? It's so romantic
And maybe someday someone writes all about it
Maybe in May, in an alleyway
We'll load up and laugh at the fact that we doubted
Watch my bell jar flower die
Dust to dust, auf wiedersehen
Hit me up in your sweet new ride
For now this jailbird's gotta wait
For now this jailbird's gotta wait
For now this jailbird's gotta wait
For now this jailbird's gotta wait
Gotta wait
Maybe we can have our own place to haunt
Maybe we could have a couple chairs to rock
Maybe we could sit on the porch and talk
Maybe we could fire off warning shots
Maybe we could fire off warnings
Maybe I could see you in the morning
Maybe I'll see you again
Maybe I'll see you again
You can hide in your hands
But I know that you're looking
Beautiful brain scrutinizing
Every bar, every slur
Every word, you're just lurking
Trying to act so nonchalant
'Cause you know what they say
Use the wrong key and you'll jam the lock
For now this jailbird's gotta wait
Maybe we can have our own place to haunt
Maybe we could have a couple chairs to rock
Maybe we could sit on the porch and talk
Maybe we could fire off warning shots
Maybe we could fire off warnings
Maybe I could see you in the morning
Maybe I'll see you again
Maybe I'll see you again
Going insane, psychosomatic
I'm on fire, I'm freezing
Unfocused, it's my fault
Try to explain I'm claustrophobic
And your bigness has got me addicted by default
What can I say? It's so romantic
And maybe someday someone writes all about it
Maybe in May, in an alleyway
We'll load up and laugh at the fact that we doubted
Watch my bell jar flower die
Dust to dust, auf wiedersehen
Hit me up in your sweet new ride
For now this jailbird's gotta wait
For now this jailbird's gotta wait
For now this jailbird's gotta wait
For now this jailbird's gotta wait
Gotta wait
Maybe we can have our own place to haunt
Maybe we could have a couple chairs to rock
Maybe we could sit on the porch and talk
Maybe we could fire off warning shots
Maybe we could fire off warnings
Maybe I could see you in the morning
Maybe I'll see you again
Maybe I'll see you again
