Broken Birds Lyrics

Broken Birds

holding your amber to the light 
I see centuries of you 
and you find me kind 
you find me tall 
you find me crazy like you 
and while I fight my own words 
you`re off saving those broken birds 
sometimes I wonder if you`ll survive  
 
we are kindred spirits but not kindred people 
in this world for now 
we are both too strong we are both too weak 
we are both too young 
so you go sing your songs 
and I`ll go sing mine 
but I never really go away 
no, I never really go away  
 
I know you hear me 
you always hear me 
on the run to the sun 
your kind will get far 
if you don`t burn  
 
I hear the echo of our voices 
hopeful in the church of the morning sun 
asking - how far away from love are we? 
are we far enough to keep us apart? 
oh, I really really really don`t know  
 
you said - come to the window 
I said - no you don`t  
 
we promised we`d never sing of pain or of losing 
or how beautiful people look when they are dying 
but clichés come so easily 
and your tears run through me again and again 
forget those broken birds 
forget those broken birds  
 
I know you hear me 
you always hear me 
on the run to the sun 
your kind will get far 
if you don`t burn  
 
holding your amber to the light 
I see centuries of you...
