The Bat Song

(album: Meanjin - 2022)

I saw the fires on TV today
I started crying
I couldn't escape
The feeling when you're not around
My world's turning upside down

Do you wanna forget about me?
Sometimes it's better to get up and leave
The feeling when you're not around
My world's turning upside down

How do bats find their way if they can't see at night?
Oh I wish that was me
'Cause I would fly to you every single night
If I could hang with you upside down
With no one else around

There's a reason everything changed
You flew one way but I stayed the same
The feeling when you're not around
My world is turning upside down

So help me out
I lost my way I need someone to
Help me out
I think I might be falling

How do bats find their way if they can't see at night?
Oh I wish that was me
'Cause I would fly to you every single night
If I could hang with you upside down

How do bats find their way if they can't see at night?
Oh I wish that was me
'Cause I would fly to you every single night
If I could hang with you
Hang with you
Hang with you upside down
With no one else around
