Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Waiting outside the club in a parking lot
I watched some bird fly up and land on the rooftop
Then up again into the sky
In and out of sight
Then flying down again to land on the pavement
[Verse 2]
It felt intimate to watch it
Its small chest rising and falling
As it sang the same song
Over and over, and over, and over again
Over the traffic
And the noise
[Verse 3]
Is it all right if I don't wanna sing tonight?
I know you are tired of seeing tears in my eyes
But are there not good reasons to cry?
I swear I'm all right
Maybe you could just let it slide
[Verse 4]
I confess I don't wanna undress this feeling
I am not poet enough to address this peeling
Was I not yet naked enough?
Too quick to blush
Already am I too much?
[Verse 5]
Is it all right if I don't wanna sing tonight?
I know you are tired of seeing tears in my eyes
But everywhere we go, there is an outside
Over all of these ceilings, hangs a sky
And it kills me when I
You know it just kills me when I
You know it just kills me when I
See some bird fly
Oh, it just kills me, and I don't know why
