Birds On A Wire

He said, "Come on now, I'll give you a boost

Remember we'd smoke cigarettes and make out on the roof?"

Reaching like there's something left to siphon from our youth

Well I made damn sure to put distance between me and this town

But life's been taking cheap shots & messing me around

And from time to time you get stretched across the lines

Birds On A Wire

Sometimes Birds On A Wire

Birds On A Wire

I've been living on the road too long to relate

Pretty soon you'll be making plans, and I'll be making my escape

You can't paint a pretty picture when nothing in the foreground stays the same

There's Reds, Magentas, the sky is enraged

Telling everyone that I'm the one that got away

Well, maybe the landscape is drawn, maybe it's just something we create

Birds On A Wire

Sometimes Birds On A Wire

Birds On A Wire

Hey! My whole life's on display

Hey! Still you never really knew me, babe

I was the girl who followed the crows down the telephone lines

Birds On A Wire

Sometimes Birds On A Wire

I've given up on rhymes and reasons

They're just Birds On A Wire

Birds On A Wire

Birds On A Wire

Birds On A Wire
