Bird in the House Songtext
von Michael Flynn

I want to hold you
Stranger
Bird in the house
It was the open
Window
That called you in
Out of the branches
Steaming
From a midday rain
And now you′re anxious
Awkward
And all out of place

I know you're only gonna leave me shrieking dirty words
And twisting towards the light
I don′t have much I gotta do this weekend
Maybe you should just sleep here tonight


I had my eyes closed
Rusting
Book in my lap
Beneath the distant
Rumble
Of an outbound plane
And then I heard you
Moving
Looking for space behind the curtain
Listen
Baby just wait

I know the setting doesn't leave you breathless
Furniture and cold fluorescent light
Hey I'm not asking you to stay for breakfast
Anyway I′m tired let′s not fight

I know you're trying to keep your shit together
Everyone is twisting towards a light
Just let me run my fingers through your feathers
Once before you turn away
One before you turn away and fly
