Birds with Arms

I set your picture on the radio past the stove
You looked so lovely cuz you didn't know you where the show
The kettle whistling while I wiped the glass and set the frame
It wasn't till I heard you move that I could look away
I caught you peering down the hallway up at me
You looked so lonely trying not to be seen
WHOA so you're a bird with arms
WHOA stay afloat pull the alarm
I didn't know you're bracing for the fall
I didn't know you couldn't walk at all
Though I was just like you
Thought I was just like you
You took your picture from the radio past the stove
You didn't think I'd notice, didn't think I'd even know
I'm sorry I got so angry, believe me
But look at my face tell me you see what I see
WHOA so you're a bird with arms
WHOA stay afloat pull the alarm
I didn't know you're bracing for the fall
I didn't know you couldn't walk at all
Though I was just like you
Thought I was just like you
Once I was small, I was weak
I was living in a house made of stones made of sticks
Once I was small, I was weak
I was looking at my arms wanting wings wishing wings
Oh I don't know, I don't know how to help you
Oh all I know is you'll be looking better soon
WHOA so you're a bird with arms
WHOA stay afloat pull the alarm
I didn't know you're bracing for the fall
I didn't know you couldn't walk at all
Though I was just like you
Thought I was just like you

The River

When you call me I'll be waiting
Outside my bedroom, on top of the stairwell
It's not like me to be early
But I wait quietly, pretend like you hurried
Cuz when I hear that noise
I feel so alive
And when I hear your voice
oh how nice, I feel alright
Moving cuz I want to
Bags tied to my feet
You were so worried
The weights too much for
It's not too much for me
I'll be ready, hat and coat on
But maybe you saw my band aids and bruises
I was worried you were nervous
But I left for reasons before you found me
Cuz when I hear that noise
I feel so alive
And when I hear your voice
oh how nice, I feel alright
Moving cuz I want to
Bags tied to my feet
You were so worried
The weights too much for
It's not too much for me
Oh don't say anything
Meet me at the river
I'd love if you could go
Meet me at the river
It's all here on show
You can ask me if "it's easy"
I don't mind
And each time I say it, it grows in my mind
Moving cuz I want to
Bags tied to my feet
You were so worried
The weights too much for
It's not too much for me
Oh don't say anything
It's not too much for me

Red Robin Under

My skin's been itching me since the middle of the summer
My skin's been itching me since the middle of the summer
Red robin under, red robin under (2x)
Gently calls the calling birds, a soft and rolling thunder
Gently calls the calling birds, a soft and rolling thunder
Red robin under, red robin under (2x)
Something so easy as feeling comfortable
The birds are calling me, I know
Somebody told me I was stuck under water
Somebody told me I was stuck under water
Red robin under, red robin under (2x)
Something so easy as feeling comfortable
The birds are calling me, I know
Nothing seems to bother me
When I am on the other side
Nothing seems to bother me
When I am on the other side
Red robin under, Red robin under (2x)
Something so easy as feeling comfortable
The birds are calling me, I know
Red robin under, red robin under (2x)

Red green and blue
Calls out to you
And oh how you need them
Red green and blue
What will you do
When you find out the truth
That no one is onto you, hiding out for you
I walk home with you everyday
I look at you and see your face
I walk home with you everyday
I'll lead you from your fear and say
I will call them off, I will call them off of you
Red green and blue
Staring back you
And oh how you watch
Red green and blue
I saw your shoes
And I followed after you
I was the only one, calling out for you
I walk home with you everyday
I look at you and see your face
I walk home with you everyday
I'll lead you from your fear and say
I will call them off, I will call them off of you (2x)

When You Liked Me

It wasnt obvious at all
I couldnt see it cross the hall
I wouldnt like it if I did
Maybe I did notice it
I thought you were the surer one
I never thought youd come undone
Maybe it had crossed my mind
Maybe I chose being blind
I jumped the main land on a boat
Made sure the ocean was my moat
I said I wouldn't let you in
I threw the bridge down like a sin
How come we change in what we want
It's like we do it for the fun
I'm going backwards on a run
It's like we do it for the fun
PRECHORUS
((Oh how I love'd you with such great ease
oh how I love'd you when I was, I was...))
CHORUS
((Just like the stories I let you fool with me
I wanted all of you to have you back, back to me (2X)))
It wasnt obvious at all
I couldnt see it cross the hall
I wouldnt like it if I did
Maybe I did notice it
I thought you were the surer one
I never thought youd come undone
Maybe it had cross my mind
Maybe I chose being blind
PRECHORUS
CHORUS
BRIDGE
Why do you come back, to where I'm hiding?
Oh in the tall trees, I guess I wore colors so you'd find me
When you liked me, I was high like tall trees
When you liked me, I was queen of all things
CHORUS

Gold

Broken glass and wounded leg
They said they left me here to mend
I cast a sail from my pretend
Oh won't you meet me at the water's edge
Laying tired on the ground
Please blow the whistle, let it sound
You looked up while I was down
Since when I am like the gold in the brown
Drinking never lasts but I don't mind that
I am falling fast, I am falling fast
No one, no one
makes me feel so undone
I fill up, fill up again
You bring me out to fall back in
Cuz i see you on the bottom
But you look the same
See I don't care if I make up your perfection
You look great to me
You, you're worth this finding
You, you're worth this blinding
Drinking never lasts but I don't mind that
I am falling fast, I am falling fast
Hardened hearts in casts, soft again at last
I am falling fast, I am falling fast
