Make Me a Bird

I told her, "Thank you

She said, "That's it?"

I got real nervous

She kissed my lips

And in that moment

I swore she was all mine

We got to talking and she

Began to compliment me

Said that she likes the way I sing

And perhaps she could help me

But I was caught up

In the pain behind her eyes

She said, "Make me a bird, I'll fly away"

Beyond the confines of the sick, sick game

I said, "Make me a bird, and I'll fly too"

Don't care where, just want to spend some time with you

A little time with you

Just a blue eyed boy

And a green eyed girl

And the brightest moon

In the whole damn year and a

Uh, I wake up

To find this a dream

Her eyes make diamonds

Look like loose change

The kind that make a man

Lose track of what he's saying, like

She said, "Make me a bird, I'll fly away"

Beyond the confines of the sick, sick game

I said, "Make me a bird, and I'll fly too"

Don't care where, just want me and you

Listen, don't want to play the game, just want your time

And if I occupy the contents of your mind then

Make me a bird, I'll fly with you

Don't care where, just want to sit and spit the truth

Just a blue eyed boy

And a green eyed girl

And the brightest moon

The whole damn year and a

She said, "Make me a bird, I'll fly away"

Beyond the confines of the sick, sick game

I said, "Make me a bird, and I'll fly too"

Don't care where, just want me and you

Listen, don't want to play the game, just want your time

And if I occupy the contents of your mind then

Make me a bird, I'll fly with you

Don't care where, just want to sit and spit the truth

Make me a bird

Make me a bird

Make me a bird

God, make me a bird
