Every time I see a bird
Flying over my head
I get to thinking could be you
Coming down to check

Every time I see a bird
Tumble out of the sky
Realize you're still alive, still alive

Spent the summer on the train
Passing cities in the night
Always planning my escape
That golden church of lies

Didn't need home like that 'til it died
I was just a kid with wool in my eyes
Lot of life denied

How do you know I been dreaming
Of dangerous things?
It's five in the morning
I'm fixing again
You appear at the window
And open your wings
Surprise, surprise
A little bird arrives, you're still alive

The other day I saw a bird
Struggle in the wind
Beaten black and blue
Then rising up again

I want that fight to set me free
We get close, but we don't speak
I know you're still alive

How do you know I been dreaming
Of dangerous things?
It's five in the morning
I'm fixing again
You appear at the window
And open your wings
Surprise, surprise
A little bird arrives, you're still alive

(Just at the minute when I'm starting to break)
Still alive (hand on the trigger and I'm starting to shake)
Still alive (you fall from the sky with perennial grace)
(Bird outside my window)

You're still alive (this hotel room is turning into a cage)
You're still alive (seventeen hours feels like seventeen days)
Still alive (you fall from the sky with perennial grace)
(Bird outside my window)
