For Island Fires And Family

How it must feel to be a bird

Roaming lonely over sea air

How it must feel to be a bird

London, Paris underneath

I'll wait on my own here

And I couldn't tell you enough that I'm sorry

And no, you couldn't tell me enough that you loved me

She's bringing the moon and stars to me

Damn permanent reverie

And even though this life, this love is brief

I've got some people who carry me

Wasn't it love as soon as we knew each other properly?

Living 'bout half right, until a certain person got to me

Nothing is secret, everything's sacred, How it ought to be

Under the moonlight on a clear night, on rooftops is where I want to be

Sometimes I'm like a child, It's something I can't release

Dreams of her coming home, sweet home

I'm telling you home's so sweet

Said you reminded me of the summer times, and I still mean that

In a full room I'm the only one she's smiling at

So wouldn't you let me know if you were thinking less of me?

That's what she asked me what was promised what we both agreed

But truthfully if you ever go, you'll drop me straight to Hell's 7th circle

And I was talking with you earlier

We were open and vulnerable, it was wonderful

I, I used to dream that you would talk to me

I used to dream that you would talk to me

And I couldn't tell you enough that I'm sorry

And no, you couldn't tell me enough that you loved me

She's bringing the moon and stars to me

Damn permanent reverie

And even though this life, this love is brief

I've got some people who carry me

You know that feeling when you think your heart is gonna come right out through your shirt?

I get it a couple times a year but I've been getting it more often with her

Now when I'm face to face with death I'll grab his throat

And ask him, how does it hurt?

Up in those golden moments growing old too quickly

Was he thinking of her?

But she's bringing the moon and the stars to me

Damn permanent reverie

And even though this life, this love is brief

I've got some people who carry me
