The Drop Off Lyrics

The bird nestled in its nest

A cozy home for it to rest

A place where it was born and raised

A sanctuary, a nestling safe place

But as the days passed by

The bird grew restless, its wings it would try

To spread and flutter, to feel the wind

To know what lay beyond its kin

The bird gazed at the vast blue sky

It longed to fly, to soar so high

To see the world beyond the tree

To be wild, to be free

One last night at home

All his bags are packed

Feels these butterflies

He's an insomniac

Misses these hometown streets

Now he starts from scratch

If he falls asleep

There's no turning back

His mind reflects on the time

He leaves the one place

That's been home for life

And he feels these fears

Cuz over the years

Never had to lead

Now he's at the wheel

And now

Heart pumps inside of his chest

Excitement and fear

Will not let him rest

And where will he go?

Will he be alone?

Or find a new home?

Nobody knows

The bird said goodbye to its nest

To its siblings and the warmth of its rest

It spread its wings and took to the air

With the wind in its feathers, it didn't have a care

It soared above the treetops, and felt the sun on its wings

It flew over rivers and mountains, And heard the songs of many things

The bird discovered new landscapes

And met birds of different shapes and shades

It learned to navigate the skies

And found a new home in its newfound ways

Now he's here at last

Takes in the campus vibes

Sunshine and vast green lawns

Tunes bumpin frisbees fly

New faces all around

The time just runs right by

Now he's all moved in

Just one thing on his mind

It's time to say his goodbyes

He hugs mom and dad

With tears in his eyes

And now

His mom weeps and he is surprised

He sees his dad cry

It's for the first time

And now

They're off he watches them go

And he's never felt

So out of control

So where should he go?

He feels so alone

Can this become home?

Nobody knows

His mind reflects on the time

He's left the one place

That's been home for life

And he feels these fears

Cuz over the years

Never had to lead

Now he's at the wheel

And now

Heart pumps inside of his chest

Excitement and fear

Are all he has left

And where will he go?

Will he be alone?

Is this his new home?

Nobody knows
