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
