Broken Wing Songtext
von Alkaline Trio

It ain′t hard to get lost
When you forget where you've come from
Turn that dial to the right
Push that pedal down
Don′t say goodbye
Just for a drive
Along for the ride

It'd be real nice just to fly away
And escape everything
But little bird looks like you've got a broken wing
Now anything′s so easy
It might not make you weak
But it sure won′t make me believe


Until you say it
It gets worse you know
How many more days am I gonna wake up
When there's no place I wanna go
That sunshine′s really gonna kill us all
Why is every day so cold
Why is every thing so fucking cold
It never melts away

It'd be real nice just to fly away
And escape everything
But little bird looks like you′ve got a broken wing
Now anything's so easy
It might not make you weak
But it sure won′t make me believe

That's the top of your lungs
And the bottom of your heart
Is that the top of your lungs?
Is that the bottom of your heart?
Is that as deep as your heart goes?


I understand the things that keep you up
And I know that you still feel
And I know your heart is hemorrhaging
It needs some time to heal
And now the traffic lights
There on your street
Flash yellow all the time
And that mirror in the bathroom
It looks cracked in the wrong light
But walk out through your threshold
Fill your lungs and move on down the stairs
And let the things you love come back to you
In time we'll all get there

It′d be real nice just to fly away
And escape everything
But little bird it looks like you′ve got a broken wing
Now everything's so easy
It might not make you weak
But it sure won′t make me believe
