Lyrics A Lot Like Birds

A Lot Like Birds

Your Ex Marked My Spot

"I'm standing here in pieces, and you're having delusions of grandeur!"

Just for tonight

Can we leave it red?

Cause I've been alone here waiting for some time

And she's been screaming all night

All night

And even if it wasn't what you planned with me

You'd still be here when August turns to April

And asking where I'd been

Well here I am

(Well here I am)

(I'd stay for you)

I thought I might

Just watch as your trepid little footsteps

Synchronize with mine

(I'd stay for you)

So I know that at least we still have time

(Yeah at least we still have time)

Yeah at least I still got time

(I know you think)

That forever's a beautiful word when it's spoken

(But it's not)

When it's spoken two inches from another's face

(Some say love hurts)

And they all tell me that nothing's permanent

(Forever)

As if it could be any

Consolation!

Just for tonight

Can we leave this bed?

Cause I've been alone here waiting for some time

And she's been screaming all night

All night

And even if it wasn't what you planned to be

You'd still be here when August turns to April

And asking where I've been

Well here I am

(Well here I am)

(I'd stay for you)

Well you don't know that I'm tired of the lull

And you won't know

That I'm standing in front of you

Cause I'm staying here

Worked at this job for forty years

And I'm still here

Go!

Shit...
