You Watch the Birds Lyrics

I watch the ducks eating their crumbs together in the morning

They seem content, have more company than me

Build from the bottom, favorite colors and small talk

It's hard to open up to somebody

But I'm not like he was

I'm capable of love

I'm a boy you can trust

We lended love to someone else

And now we're shells

No love left for ourselves

I know that

Your afraid

You need time

But babe I'm right here

The last time

Your heart died

Scared to feel

Am I what you fear

You watch the birds singing their songs together in the morning

They sing songs of love

Songs you don't think you're meant to sing

Gather your stones up

One by one

Never seen a wall so tall

Than the one I'm breakin' in

Skinny dipping in strangers' pools

You chase butterflies, but beyond that you don't wanna feel

His lies to you left their mark

Wide eyes went dark

Love how you hide your scars

I know that

Your afraid

You need time

But babe I'm right here

The last time

Your heart died

Scared to feel

Am I what you fear

See your friends patching holes with imperfect seals

You wait for one that fits you right

The one that lets you heal

Tap of the rain on my windowsill

All the others stay dry

I prefer grey skies

Grey skies

You watch the birds singing their songs together in the morning

They sing songs of love

Songs you don't think you're meant to sing
