lyrics

We’ve become like the bird who first must share the branched tree
and then must plot the path that it can only barely see
then sit there, growing feathers, singing cause that’s all it can do
until one morning the old story is no longer true

we’ve become like the bird who never looks downward to see
how much higher it is from the branch it was last on
always looking up and out, existing automatically
how painful growing feathers would be if you noticed every one.

I notice every one, oh I do, I notice every one, oh I do

is it possible that after every feather has
sprouted painfully from the skin, after each tendril has grown,
is it possible to spread your wings and fall?
is it possible to spread your wings and fall?
My mind is always on birds
I notice every one, oh I do
shoowap doo waa ooh, shoowap doo waa
shoowap doo waa ooh, shoowap doo waa

We’ve become like the bird who first must share the branched tree
and then must plot the path that it can only barely see
then sit there, growing feathers, singing cause that’s all it can do
how painful growing feathers would be if you noticed every one

I notice every one, oh I do; I notice every one, shoo wap doo waa
in this place I live my thoughts are always thinking about birds
I notice every one, oh I do
shoo wap doo waa ooh
shoo wap doo waa ooh
