Wild Bird

(album: Streets Of Gold - 2018)

You've been talking in my sleep
You keep walking like you'll leave
We were nothing but fire
And now you're nothing but tired
Used to look down from above
But right now, you're down on us
I keep pulling you closer
But we are getting no closer
And it hurts, someone like me

'Cause your heart is like a wild bird
And you don't know how to fly it, girl
Changes too much on the breeze
Just to love someone like me
Yeah, your heart is like a wild bird

When I want you flying with me
Mhm-mhm-mhm-mhm
Mhm-mhm-mhm-mhm
Mhm-mhm-mhm-mhm (yeah, eh)
When I want you flying with me
Mhm-mhm-mhm-mhm
Mhm-mhm-mhm-mhm
Yeah, your heart is like a wild bird
When I want you flying with me

See you hurting in those eyes
They keep burning straight through mine
Baby, nobody's perfect
But I thought that we were working
So I watched us for a while
And I've waited for the smiles
But they keep disappearing
Girl, I hope that you can hear me
So now, now it's my turn

To say your heart is like a wild bird
And it flew you way too high, girl
Waiting for you on the ground
I thought I could talk you down
But your heart is like a wild bird

When I want you flying with me
Mhm-mhm-mhm-mhm
Mhm-mhm-mhm-mhm
Mhm-mhm-mhm-mhm (yeah, eh)
When I want you flying with me
Mhm-mhm-mhm-mhm
Mhm-mhm-mhm-mhm
Yeah, your heart is like a wild bird

Twelve days, no change
Heartbreaks, I keep feeling
Some say you won't stay
So now it's my turn to say, to say...

Yeah, your heart is like a wild bird
And you don't know how to fly it, girl
Changes too much on the breeze
Just to love someone like me
Yeah, your heart is like a wild bird

Mhm-mhm-mhm-mhm (yeah, eh)
Mhm-mhm-mhm-mhm
Mhm-mhm-mhm-mhm (yeah, eh)
When I want you flying with me
Mhm-mhm-mhm-mhm (yeah, eh)
Mhm-mhm-mhm-mhm
Yeah, your heart is like a wild bird
When I want you flying with me
