I was waiting on you
You were waiting on me
Green lights and red flags
Flash concurrently
I was humming along
And you were picking up steam
My eyes growing wide
With possibilities
Little birdies like to talk
You took the line
And swallowed the hook
I was watching you smile
You were hearing me sing
A little birdie flew in
Started chirping off screen
I was holding my breath
Trying to take in the scene
Tossing pennies in a well
Only watching them sink
Little birdies like to talk
You took the line
And swallowed the hook
You'll never know
As long as you think you do
I couldn't change a thing
If I wanted to
'Cause little birdies like
To hear themselves talk
Talk talk talk
Should have spit out that hook
I was waiting on you
You were waiting on me
When the dust settled down
There was nothing left
To see
