lyrics

When I was 19 years old,
I had to write a song about you,
So I compared you to a bird,
And sang how hard it was to catch you.

But I've gotten older now,
And I've gotten over you.

When I was 20 years old,
I broke your heart and wrecked your winter,
So you compared me to a bird,
Who left his nest and killed his children.

But you've gotten older now,
And you've gotten over me.

When we fell in love last year,
I didn't want to use the same words,
So I compared you to the moon,
But what you did was less than shining.

I'm starting to worry that I'm losing my courage,
Why is it so hard to say what you mean?
"Joanna, I'm sorry I left you abruptly,
And Chelsea, what you did to me was shit!"

I've spent so much time at home,
Trying to be sincere and honest,
But these words carry a tone,
That sound like fiction when I sing them.

So I am writing one last bird song for now.
I am writing one last bird song for now.
