I don t know why
With everyone who tries
To leave them self behind
And no one ever listens
What does it take you to
What does it pull you through
I had a friend who knew
But now he has gone missing
And it seems like
All the birds might
Hit the ground right
before the ocean
And you traded your life
Like a deer in the headlights
They re so beautiful and bright
You just start hoping
The last taxi kiss
With all its emptiness
And now you got your wish
But you know I m going to miss you.
You say the greats have sailed
They ve been hung up and nailed
They leave you pretty pale
Is that what you re taking with you
Cause it seems like
All the birds might
Hit the ground right
Before the ocean
And you traded your life
Like a deer in the headlights
They re so beautiful and bright
You just start hoping
That you re on your way to somewhere good
If it s so painful to be
Separated from the
Part of you who is free
Why don t you go it
And if you travel alone
You ll find more than your own
When you get there I know
That you will own it
Cause it seems like
All the birds might
Hit the ground right
Before the ocean
And you traded your life
Like a deer in the headlights
They re so beautiful and bright
You just start hoping
That you re on your way to somewhere good,
That you re on your way to somewhere good
