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…
