LISA LOEB - Birds lyrics

rate me

We are birds we<br>Ran from the water.<br>And birds we take off<br>Over the ocean.<br>We fly in flock sometimes,<br>Fly in a v.<br>But we can fly solo,<br>I can tell you no.<br>And a sea fly lands on the edge of your footprint,<br>I'm closer to things on the ground.<br>There were flowers like lace<br>All covering paths, like the ones leading up to your door.<br>They were always there blooming and spreading.<br>Well how come I have never seen them before? <br>They grow in a garden or a wild field.<br>They're bright and their yellow.<br>Oh, you know.<br>You sung through all of my sorrows,<br>The closest that I could have found.<br>Now I have floated down<br>From the top of my tears, and<br>I'm closer to things on the ground.<br>And most of this room is empty,<br>And the furniture that is left is rearranged.<br>'and I can't play you my old songs,' you said,<br>'my hand writing has changed.'<br>The sofas are worn in,<br>And the foot stools are gone.<br>The lights set the room a glow.<br>And taking someone for granted sometimes,<br>One voice in is more than a sound.<br>It's like hitting myself in the face.<br>Now I'm closer to things on the ground.<br>We are birds we<br>Ran from the water.<br>And birds we take off<br>Over the ocean.<br>And we fly.<br>We fly.<br>We fly.
