The Soprano & Midnight Wonderings Songtext
von Bastille

Mm
Mm
Ooh
I-I-I, I-I-I
Ooh
I-I-I, I-I-I

3 a.m., wide awake again
And you come to me, though you never leave
Wrapped in lace, paper crown
Wonder of you still, have you found firm ground?

When caged birds get to sing
Does anybody hear them when they do?
When caged birds get to fly
Does anybody ever question why?


Sometimes, when I′m awake at night
I think about it, the story of you
Sometimes, when I'm awake at night
I think about it, the things that we lose
Too soon, too soon
Too soon, mm
I think about the things that we lose too soon

Ooh
I-I-I, I-I-I

4 a.m., so we talk again
Slipped your heart in these hands, broken soul, hallowed land
So long alone, our shadows cast in stone
Every version of you, the ones I′m told, the ones I knew

When caged birds get to sing
Does anybody hear them when they do?
When caged birds get to fly
Does anybody ever question why?

Sometimes, when I'm awake at night
I think about it, the story of you
Sometimes, when I'm awake at night
I think about it, the things that we lose
Too soon, too soon (ooh)
Too soon, like you (I-I-I, I-I-I)
I think about the things that we lose too soon


Ooh
I-I-I, I-I-I
Ooh
I-I-I, I-I-I
