Starlings
You heard me up last night
Shook the tree and watched the birds fly up and out
Pulled the trigger on the bullseye
Little starlings dropping like flies
Wish I'd pick on someone my own size
It's just the way that I was raised to scream and shout
I'm always rooting for the bad guy
Took the shotguns out of the house
I know I'm freaking you out but
I'm pushing it down
I, I, I don't wanna fall asleep
I'm too busy dreaming 'bout you
And you, ooh, ooh won't hold me when I'm weak
I know I'm too much to hold onto, so let it die
I made you cry last night
Poor little oiseaux upon the lawn
A living nightmare landmine
Flashing lights warned, "beware of dog"
I don't know what you want from me
Speaking acrostic
You take the worst in me
I find that hard to believe when
You keep your car unlocked
In case you need to flee
When I let the dark get dark
Until it swallows me whole
I, I, I don't wanna fall asleep
I'm too busy dreaming 'bout you
And you, ooh, ooh won't hold me when I'm weak
I know I'm too much to hold onto
I, I, I don't wanna fall asleep
I'm too busy dreaming 'bout you
And you, ooh, ooh won't hold me when I'm weak
I know I'm too much to hold onto, so let it die
Shook the tree and watched the birds fly up and out
Pulled the trigger on the bullseye
Little starlings dropping like flies
Wish I'd pick on someone my own size
It's just the way that I was raised to scream and shout
I'm always rooting for the bad guy
Took the shotguns out of the house
I know I'm freaking you out but
I'm pushing it down
I, I, I don't wanna fall asleep
I'm too busy dreaming 'bout you
And you, ooh, ooh won't hold me when I'm weak
I know I'm too much to hold onto, so let it die
I made you cry last night
Poor little oiseaux upon the lawn
A living nightmare landmine
Flashing lights warned, "beware of dog"
I don't know what you want from me
Speaking acrostic
You take the worst in me
I find that hard to believe when
You keep your car unlocked
In case you need to flee
When I let the dark get dark
Until it swallows me whole
I, I, I don't wanna fall asleep
I'm too busy dreaming 'bout you
And you, ooh, ooh won't hold me when I'm weak
I know I'm too much to hold onto
I, I, I don't wanna fall asleep
I'm too busy dreaming 'bout you
And you, ooh, ooh won't hold me when I'm weak
I know I'm too much to hold onto, so let it die
