Death Cab For Cutie Talking Bird Lyrics

Talking Bird Lyrics

Oh, my talking bird

Though you know so few words

You're on infinite repeat

Like your brain can't keep up with your beak



And you're kept in an open cage

So you're free to leave or stay

And sometimes you get confused

Like there is a hint that I'm 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

You don't realize that the windows

Were open the whole time



But oh, my talking bird

Though your feathers are tattered and furled

I'll love you all your days

'Til the breath leaves your delicate frame



It's all here for you

As long as you choose to stay

It's all here for you

As long as you don't fly away
