Bird Lyrics
[Verse 1]
She’s underwater again
Somebody’s daughter, a friend
In the night in the dark in the cold
As she walks far away
[Chorus]
Nobody’s watching
Drowning in words so sweet
Mild is the water
Caught as a bird once free
[Post-Chorus]
I don’t mind
[Verse 2]
Hope is a distance unreached
Ink on her skin incomplete
And the faint sound of friends
As she neared to the end she had peace
[Chorus]
Nobody’s watching
Drowning in words so sweet
Mild is the water
Caught as a bird once free
[Post-Chorus]
I don’t mind
I don’t mind
[Bridge]
Where does a star go from here?
Lost in the grip
[Chorus]
Nobody’s watching
Drowning in words so sweet
Mild is the water
Caught as a bird once free
Nobody’s watching
Drowning in words so sweet
Mild is the water
Caught as a bird once free
[Post-Chorus]
I don’t mind
I don’t mind
I don’t mind
I don’t mind
