She's my baby bird, he hates me calling out to her
Reminds him of his love for me when I was 17
I can't believe it's true, he looked into my eyes and said
The world has broke in two, and you are on your own
Just like I've always been, but now knowing what it's like
Without you
We are all animals and part of this land and he said oh, impatiently
I thought I could trust you now, to understand. And he said no, no, no
She's my baby bird, clawing at me from inside
I knew that it was time to let her out so she could fly
I wanted her to be mine. Her beak was pecking and her wings
Were stretching and my heart was beating her blood as we broke apart
We are all animals and part of this land and he said oh, impatiently
I thought I could trust you now, to understand. And he said no, no, no
She's my baby bird, he hates me calling out to her
Reminds him of his love
I can't believe it's true, he looked into my eyes and said
The world has broke in two, and you are on your own
