A Bird Can't Fly Lyrics

My baby left me

Tears undressed me

As I cried myself to sleep

While politics and protests

Fill the news

But outside my window

Wind was whistling

Through the darkness to the deep

Corners of my mind

Afraid to lose

And a bird can't fly

Til it's been pushed out of the nest

I can't sleep away this sorrow anymore

I'd rather crash and burn

Then play it safe and hide away

You know I've learned that I'm the only one

Standing in my way

And if I fall just to find

There's a hole inside my wing

I'll figure it out

When I hit the ground

I got Corona from California

So did everyone I know

Spent a couple years in outer space

My phone kept ringing

Bills cha-chingin

Like they've always done before

Just another dollar 'nother day

And a bird can't fly

Til it's been pushed out of the nest

I can't sleep away this sorrow anymore

I'd rather crash and burn

Then play it safe and hide away

You know I've learned that I'm the only one

Standing in my way

And if I fall just to find

There's a hole inside my wing

I'll figure it out

When I hit the ground

And a bird can't fly

Til it's been pushed out of the nest

I can't sleep away this sorrow anymore

Anymore

Anymore

I'd rather crash and burn

Then play it safe and hide away

You know I've learned that I'm the only one

Standing in my way

And if I fall just to find

There's a hole inside my wing

I'll figure it out

I'll figure it out

I'll figure it out

When I hit the ground
