Untidy Creature

I heard the click of a tiny catch
I close my eyes and you found the latch
I looked up and saw the bars intact
Locked up tight, the perfect track
A rattle and shake inside
But I can't escape tonight

There was a time when I saw it outside
Followed the air turned left turned right
Now with the move you closed the lock
The world outside, it's what I want
A rattle and shake inside
I push against your arms tonight

And it feels like we were broken
And I'm holding the pieces so tight
You can try to tell me I'm nothing
And I don't have the wings to fly
But there's too much here that's unspoken
And there's no tomorrow in sight
Could you love me if I was broken?
And there's no going back tonight

Looking neat like a problem to solve
Like an untidy creature that you can't push around
You built a cage but your measurement's wrong
So I'll find a way and I'll pick your lock

And it feels like we're broken
And I'm holding the pieces so tight
You can try to tell me I'm nothing
And I don't have the wings to fly
But there's too much here that's unspoken
And there's no tomorrow in sight
Could you love me if I was broken?
And there's no going back tonight
