Lyrics

[00:04.18] When we tell a lie we watch it float
[00:07.80] Into clouds and worlds we can’t control
[00:11.18] In the mean time birds go on and sing their honest songs
[00:17.04] Had you left yourself an honest note
[00:22.09] You’ll hear your words speak on their own
[00:25.83] And sound like a man you met so long ago
[00:29.95] I’ve wasted all this time
[00:38.41] Reciting empty lines
[00:40.90] That cast a spell on the ones who make me whole
[00:43.77] And I can’t let myself give up the hope
[00:51.08] That one of these days I’ll have control
[00:54.69] Till now I’ve known how to shape my words
[00:58.38] So all those who love me don’t get hurt
[01:02.18] By my lengthy lists of ways to make things seem okay
[01:06.30] Well if I heard it right then life is all
[01:16.53] Just a dance you dance until you can’t no more
[01:20.04] And I’ve realized birds have sung the same tune all along
[01:25.04] They say we fly we dance for nothing more
[01:30.96] Than to make our lives worth living for
[01:34.46] So either way being I will be okay
[01:39.08] I’ve wasted all this time
[01:46.52] And I can’t let the world engulf my soul
[01:53.10] Cuz one of these days I’ll be no more
[01:56.48] And now my list seems a petty resort
[02:00.17] To entertain the thoughts I had before
[02:03.85] When I sung the lie to something wasn’t
[02:07.66] Right when I held myself no higher than me
