You wanted to feel something new
Gravitate towards a truth
Feel at home for the first time
You wanted a life of your own
Somewhere to hide beneath the sun
Be alone for the last time
And everyone
Will help you understand
Simple things
Canaries in coal mines
Remember the branches I broke
Scratching our names into that oak
Broke my arm for the first time
You said I was lost and too late
Wait 'til they hear about my fate
Broke my heart for the last time
And everyone
Will help you understand
Simple things
Canaries in coal mines
