Lyrics

[Verse 1]
3am, wide awake again
And you come to me
Though you never leave
Wrapped in lace, paper crown
Wonder of you still
Have you found firm ground?
[PreChorus]
When caged birds get to sing
Does anybody get to hear them when they do?
When caged birds get to fly
Does anybody ever question why?
[Chorus]
Sometimes when I'm awake at night
I think about it
The story of you
Sometimes when I'm awake at night
I think about it
The things that we lose too soon
Too soon
Too soon
Ooh, I think about the things that we lose too soon
[Verse 2]
4am, so we talk again
Slipped your heart in these hands
Broken soul, hallowed land
So long alone, our shadows cast in stone
Every version of you
The ones I'm told, the ones I knew
[PreChorus]
When caged birds get to sing
Does anybody get to hear them when they do?
When caged birds get to fly
Does anybody ever question why?
[Chorus]
Sometimes when I'm awake at night
I think about it
The story of you
Sometimes when I'm awake at night
I think about it
The things that we lose too soon
Too soon
Too soon
Like you
I think about the things that we lose too soon
