Every Time I See A Bird Letra

Coming down to check
Every time I see a bird
Tumble out of the sky
Realize you're still alive, still alive

Spend the summer on the train
Passing cities in the night
Always planning my escape
The golden church of lies
Didn't need home like that till it died
I was just a kid with wool in my eyes
Lot of life denied

How'd you know I been dreaming
Of dangerous things?
It's five in the morning
I'm fixing again
You appear at the window
And open your wings
Surprise, surprise
A little bird arrives, you're still alive

The other day I saw a bird
Struggle in the wind
Beaten black and blue
Then rising up again
I want that fight to set me free
We get close, but we don't speak
I know you're still alive

How'd you know I been dreaming
Of dangerous things?
It's five in the morning
I'm fixing again
You appear at the window
And open your wings
Surprise, surprise
A little bird arrives, you're still alive

(Just at the minute when I'm starting to break) Still alive
(Hand on the trigger and I'm starting to shake) Still alive
(You fall from the sky with perennial grace)
(Bird outside my window) Still alive
(These [?]) Still alive
(Seventeen hours feel like seventeen days) Still alive
(You fall from the sky with perennial grace)
(Bird outside my window)
