Just found the place for your new perfect home
Safe from the rain tucked in the corner of that stained glass window
Collect some grass from that abandoned field
I hope the robins ok with how close our nests will be
Feels like i've done this a few hundred times
Sit there for hours making sure you're alive
You'll grow up strong and loud, noble and free
And find your own perfect spot just like me
One of these days you'll end up just like me
One of these days you'll end up just like me
One of these days you'll end up just like me
One of these days you'll end up just like me
The day is here as you break through your egg
No time to celebrate I've gotta go make sure you get fed
Days turn to nights I never get to sleep
It's always worth it every time I hear that little peep
Feels like I've done this a few hundred times
Go back and forth with food to keep you alive
You'll grow up strong and loud, noble and free
And find your own perfect spot just like me
It's time for you to go and fly the nest
I'll give you one last meal and sigh as you snuggle in my breast
After you're gone I won't know what to do
Maybe I'll take a trip to Kalamazoo
I've always wondered if it's all the same
For other birds or those weird creatures with the big furry tails
Raising your young is not a simple feat
Oh my dear son it makes your whole life complete
One of these days you'll end up just like me
One of these days you'll end up just like me
One of these days you'll end up just like me
One of these days you'll end up just like me
