lyrics

sometimes words are a little like flightless birds or maybe like restless herds in the heat of the day
this thing here that i’m fighting with its not clear why i’ve got to give in to feel the fear floating away
prechorus: can’t identify with what’s slipping from my tongue
can’t relate to the mental state of anyone

still i’m aching i’m burning i’m fried like bacon you can turn me i’d say this side of me is done
some blue day i think i might find my way and with a with a little luck trade this grey for a place in the sun

prechorus

chorus: you put a lot of new lights in my sky
oooh you are so brand new in my life
and i come a a little more alive each time you smile
oooh

she’s so light she’s like a feather she could fly all night in this weather a girl like her could untether my soul
when she moves i’m a believer and when she gives i’m a receiver and when she’s gone i’m gonna grieve her i know

prechorus

chorus
