In my apartment somewhere between my skull
Lives a man who broke my bones
And he tells a story of someone who ran away
I've been trying to do the same
It's a mess to shed skin and a mind that is blue
And it's so hard to leave until you do
I love this city but I don't belong
I've been trying to learn what you wrote in the sun
"Don't forget about home.
When the the blackbirds have flown
Move on."
When I was leaving you held my arm and I held yours too
Took me years to climb down the walls of my youth
Now I'm going steady away from it all
We were liars who couldn't be apart
It's a mess to shed skin and a mind that is blue
And it's so hard to leave until you do
I love this city but I don't belong
I've been trying to learn what you wrote in the sun
"Don't forget about home
When the blackbirds have flown
Don't forget about home
Move on."
