AM I LIVING MY LIFE
OR JUST PRETENDING?
DREAMIN’ TOO MUCH
LIVE IN FANTASY
MIRROR MIRROR ON THE WALL
SHOWED ME
WHO COULD ANSWER IT ALL
GOTTA OWN MYSELF BACK
OWN MYSELF BACK
CAUSE THIS  IS JUST THE BEGINNING
SO COUNT TO TEN
AS FAST AS YOU CAN
COUNT TO TEN
COUNT TO TEN
AND NOW I’M AT 8
AND I CAN’T WAIT
I CAN’T WAIT
AND NOW I’M AT FIVE
ABOUT TO ARRIVE
ABOUT TO ARRIVE
ABOUT TO ARRIVE
ABOUT TO ARRIVE
ABOUT TO
BIRDY IN MY HEART
THAT WANTS FLOCK ABOUT
MAYBE IT’S TOO NOBLE
AS YOUR BODY DOUBLE
WE CAN’T SEEM TO BE SEEN
AS A BEING OR SAD TAMBOURINE
MAYBE IT’S FOR THE BEST
FOR EVERYONE;
LIGHTS OFF, REST NOW
ARE WE ON RESTART? YES
THE BIRDY IN MY HEART
THAT ONCE DIED LAST SUMMER
ON A TRIP AS A LONER
AS WE LIGHT CIGARETTES
BLOW ALL THE SMOKES ON FAME
AND ITS SOUL AS A POPSTAR WE FALL
VERY NEARLY ENDED IT ALL
I’VE GOT THE WHOLE WORLD
ON MY SHOULDER
THINGS ARE DIFFERENT NOW
I’M OLDER
BUT I SEE THEM THERE,
I KNOW THEY WANTS TO FUCK ME UP
I’VE GOT THE WHOLE WAVES
ON MY WATER
GOT NO TIME TO RUN IN CYLINDER
BIRDY IN MY HEART,
WHY ON EARTH ARE YOU SEEM SO SAD?
TAKE A LITTLE SONG
AND DANCE ALONG
AND MAKE IT BETTER
BIRDY IN MY HEART
I WAS SAYING TO HIM
EVERYONE THINKS THEY’RE NICE
AND SOME ACT LIKE BADASS
TRY TO TAKE CONTROL
AND SHUT A MAN WITH WEAKER HAND
AND WE’LL LET THEM BE THAT
BUT BETWEEN US; PATIENT FOR NOW
BIRDY LOVE ME RIGHT
LIKE YOU ARE MY ONE ONLY
LIKE NO ONE IS AROUND
SHUSH
DO IT ROUGHLY SMART
BUT QUIETLY
AND SECRETLY
THEN WE’LL SLEEP TOGETHER
BEFORE THE WORLD JUDGE ME AGAIN
I’VE GOT THE WHOLE WORLD
ON MY SHOULDER
THINGS ARE DIFFERENT NOW
I’M OLDER
(NOW I AM OLDER)
BUT I SEE THEM THERE,
I KNOW THEY WANTS TO FUCK ME UP
I’VE GOT THE WHOLE WAVES ON MY WATER
(ALL THE WAVES ON A RACE
RIGHT ON MY VERY WATER)
GOT NO TIME TO RUN IN CYLINDER
BIRDY IN MY HEART,
WHY ON EARTH
ARE YOU SEEM SO MAD?
TAKE A LITTLE SONG
AND DANCE ALONG
AND MAKE IT BETTER
I’VE GOT THE BIRDY IN ME
HE’S NOT DEAD
YOU KNOW THE BIRDY IN ME
THAT MAKES YOU SAD
SO I TELL THE BIRDY IN ME
STAY DOWN
LAY LOW
NOT NOW
