Andrew Lynch - This Bird Lyrics

There's nothing wrong with forgiveness
As long as you can wander your way over there to the taking end
If I happen to stab someone by accident, it's another mess
I just end up alone in the window, smoking cigarettes
Wishing I could fly

Cause there's this bird inside of me
That nobody wants to talk about
This little bird inside of me
It only comes out when it wants
Yeah there's this bird inside of me
That somebody said was extinct
This little bird inside of me
It's watching you

I left you all alone when I shouldn't have
Was it too much to ask me to say my goodbyes to the meaningless
If you happen to stumble by accident off the suspension bridge
I'll remember it all, the tenderness, in the present tense
And I don't know why

But there's this bird inside of me
That nobody wants to talk about
This little bird inside of me
It only comes out when it wants
Yeah there's this bird inside of me
That somebody said was extinct
This little bird inside of me
It's watching you

They don't love me nobody on Saturday night
It's just me and the cot and the fork and the knife
No phone calls, just the white walls of the shower stalls
While the city by the bay goes about its ways
I don't have nothing to get through the day
But to wish hard for the shipyard and your birthday card
Well, if I could go back and do this again
Do you think I would do it again?
But if I could go back and do this again
You know, I might just do it again

There's this bird inside of me
That somebody said was extinct
This little bird inside of me
It's watching you
