Long long way to go
Reading faces and trusting eyes
I realize talk is cheap and slow
Makes me choose from doors
I gravitate to worn out paint broken glass and dirty wooden floors
This daily routine slows to a crawl around here
Did you call my name Did you talk to me
Did you write it down
I'll look in the letterbox
Trying to bring it home
But I can't rewind and all this time is looking shorter than it ever did
Always a step behind
But I steal a little here and there so I can use it at the end
This daily routine never stops at all around here
So I'll take it when it comes and share it if I can
or give it all away
I'll take it to the sky just to see if it will fall
it just might float away
Did you call my name Did I just not hear
Did you drop it off

I'll never know what you'll find when you open up your letterbox tomorrow,
Cause a little bird never tells me anything I wanna know; she's my best friend, she's a sparrow
And I'll never, never know what you never, never, never wanna know when you know what you are, oh
If I had a pair of eyes in the back of my head for each time
You forgot to take out all the things you forgot to talk about when you took a bite out of my spine.
I would have a lot of eyes on the other side, wouldn't I? Wouldn't that just be fine?
Too late or soon to make noise about love and there's no time for sorrow,
Run around in the rain with a hole in the brain till tomorrow
I'll never know what you'll find when you open up your letterbox tomorrow,
Cause a little bird never tells me anything I wanna know; she's my best friend, she's a sparrow

woke up slow this morning to quiet walls and a sunlight flood.
this place it seems so empty
and everything except for this wait has left me.
try not to dwell on this time.
how long can it last?
hold your breath and close your eyes.
the pain will pass.
try to rise above the distance of all that you want
and soon you'll know the why.
why and for what.
for the sake of a love like no other.
for something we've never known.
for the hope of another chance at happiness.
we forsake.
i've watched the colors fade where windows cast their shape.
the same way i have changed in the light of these dark days.
i believe in happiness and in love that never fails
but the longer i wait here the more they just seem like a fairy tale.
i need you to save me.
you seem beyond a stones throw.
helpless hands tied.
i try but this garden's overgrown on the inside.
try to rise above the distance of all that i want and remember the why.
why and for what

I'll never know what you'll find when you
Open up your letter box tomorrow
'Cause a little bird never tells me anything
I want to know, she's my best friend
She's a sparrow
CHORUS
And I'll never know what you never never
Want to know when you know
What you are-o
If I had a pair of eyes in the back of my hed
For each time you forgot to take out
All the things you forgot to talk about
When you took a bite out of my spine
I would have a lot of eyes on me by this time
Wouldn't I? Wouldn't that just be fine
CHORUS
