Death Cab For Cutie - Talking Bird lyrics

Oh, my talking bird

Though you know so few words

They're on infinite repeat

Like your brain can't keep up with your beat.

And you're kept in an open cage

So you're free to leave or stay.

Sometimes you get confused

Like there's a hint i am trying to give you.

The longer you think, the less you know what to do.

It's hard to see your way out

When you live in a house in a house

Cause you don't realize

That the windows were open the whole time.

Oh, my talking bird

Though your feathers are tattered and furled

I'll love you all your days

Till the breath leaves your delicate face.

It's all here for you as long as your choose to stay.

It's all here for you as long as you don't fly away.
