Backs of Birds

In the joy that I did know

In the words that I did hold

In the way that you wrote

Don't speak to me anymore

Thought about you on the airplane

I thought about you in an old way

Looking down at the backs of birds

Never felt so unearthly

Didn't I see you in my dreams?

I thought I could make believe

You and I, we are not

You and I, not meant

You and I, we are not

I mixed up pleasantries

Yeah, I messed up royally

The desire that I did know

Left me desperate to be alone

Thought about you on the airplane

I'll admit, reluctantly

Looking down at the backs of birds

Never felt so unearthly

Didn't I see you in my dreams?

I thought I could make believe

You and I, we are not

We are not

You and I, not meant

You and I, we are not

Thought I saw you in my dreams

I thought I could make believe

You and I, we are not

You and I, not meant

You and I, we are not
