Intro
     x2

             
It ain't hard 

                 
to get lost, 
             
When you forge

             
t, where you c


ome from.
             
Turn that dial

              
 to the right 

              
and push that 

     
pedal down.
              
Don't say good


bye,
             
Just for the d

rive, 
             
Along for the 


ride.


             
It would be re

              
al nice just t

      
o fly away,
           
And escape eve

rything.
           
But little bir

d,
              
Looks like you

              
've got a brok

  
en wing.
              
Now anything s

             
o easy, it mig

              
ht not make yo

 
u weak.
       
But it sure wo

n't make me be

lieve.

    


             
It's hell you 

              
say and it get

            
s worse you kn

ow.
              
How many more 

             
days am I gonn

              
a wake up when

            
 there's no pl

ace I wanna go

?
             
That sunshine'

              
s really gonna

              
 kill us all w

      
hy is everyday

 so cold?
             
Why is everyth

              
ing, so fuckin

  
g cold,
             
And never melt

  
s away. 


             
It would be re

              
al nice just t

      
o fly away,
           
And escape eve

rything.
           
But little bir

d,
              
Looks like you

              
've got a brok

  
en wing.
              
Now anything s

             
o easy, it mig

              
ht not make yo

 
u weak.
       
But it sure wo

n't make me be

lieve.


           
That's the top

         
 of your lungs

, and the bott

om of your hea

rt.  
           
Is that the to

          
p of your lung

s, Is that the

 bottom of you

r heart. 
         
Is that as dee

             
p as your hear

     
t goes? 

 x4

             
I understand t

              
he things that

   
 keep you up,
              
And I know tha

            
t you still fe

el. 
              
And I know tha

              
t your heart i

  
s hemorrhaging

, 
              
And needs some

         
 time to heal.

 
              
Now the traffi

              
c lights there


 on your stree

t, 
              
Flash yellow a

       
ll the time,
              
And the mirror

             
 in your bathr

              
oom it looks c

              
racked in the 

      
wrong light  
             
But walk out t

hrough your th

reshold,
             
Through your l

             
ungs and move 

            
on down the st

airs.
           
And let the th

              
ings you love 

             
come back to y

       
ou in time
              
we'll all get 

   
there 


             
It would be re

              
al nice just t

      
o fly away,
           
And escape eve

rything.
           
But little bir

d,
              
Looks like you

              
've got a brok

  
en wing.
              
Now anything s

             
o easy, it mig

              
ht not make yo

 
u weak.
             
But it sure wo

            
n't make me be

lieve.
