Songbirds (Live)

You say you’re leaving

Yeah, you got to move on

And me I don’t understand

I thought that we had

A good thing going

Yeah I thought that we had a plan

You’re saying something

Sounds like a lot of nothing

About hearing a distant call

Running, tumbling so fast from this town

And I think that you’re bound to fall

But go

I’m only left with vestiges

Of sunlight on my face

You know

I never really cared for

Songbirds anyway

Don’t fool yourself

These are not tears falling

It’s just dust caught in my eyes

And all your talk about you and me and us

Well I guess that they were all just lies

So no

I’m not dying, crying

Just lift up and go away

Don’t think I told you

But I never really cared for

Songbirds anyway

They fool you with their flying

And lure you with their songs

By the time you wake from dreaming

They’re long gone

They’re gone

They’re gone

They’re gone

I went and gave away

My good jean jacket

Nothing fits in this town anymore

It was the one with the cool peace patches

You found at the second chance store

And so

I kick it down the road

Through the next town a time or two

You know

These thoughts in my head

Are all tinged in shades of blue

With reminders

Of you

I never liked songbirds

They always bring you down

I never liked songbirds

You know I never liked songbirds

Ten feet from the ground

From the ground

From the ground
