Death Cab For Cutie - Talking Bird (Demo) Lyrics

Oh, my talking bird
Though you know so few words
They're on infinite repeat
And your brain can't keep up with your beak

And you're kept in an open cage
So you're free to leave or stay
Sometimes this makes you confused
But there is no hint I am trying to give you

The longer you think, the less you know what to do

It's hard to see your way out
When you live in a house in a house
'Cause you don't realize
That the windows were open the whole time

But oh, my talking bird
Though your feathers are tattered and curled
I'll love you all your days
Till the breath leaves your fragile frame

It's all here for you as long as your choose to stay
Hey
It's all here for you as long as you don't fly away
