Caged Bird

[Chorus]
Take some time, try to cleanse you from my mind
It takes time, darling, time
Time teach a caged bird how to fly
It takes time, darling, time

[Verse 1]
In the starlight so blue remember evenings so yellow
I no longer dream of you, but your shirt's still in my dresser
Been to the studio, I've been walking through the jungle
When the wind cries out for you, and it sound like synth and cello
Kinda feels like birds in cages
When you break the locks
I can leave from where you want me here, but I'd rather not
So I drop the top and I float on
Stereo blonde like Gohan
Every damn day I drove home
Thinking ‘bout you till the road's gone

[Chorus]
Take some time, try to cleanse you from my mind
It takes time, darling, time
Time teach a caged bird how to fly
It takes time, darling, time
Take some time, try to cleanse you from my mind
It takes time, darling, time
Time teach a caged bird how to fly
It takes time, darling, time

[Verse 2]
And as for my feelings for you, envelope them in titanium
They can't get through, can't bother me with trivialities
And if they ever flew, they won't go anywhere
Those metal walls, yeah, they bite back
And I'd watch as feathers tear
'Cause she can play a nigga like it was game of chess
I should know
And I was walking on a wire thinking I was blessed
Till it broke
I know they say the grass is greener on the other side
That's a lie
Forget the “let's be friends,” girl, I'ma need to take some time

[Chorus]
Take some time try to cleanse you from my mind
It takes time, darling, time
Time teach a caged bird how to fly
It takes time, darling, time
Take some time try to cleanse you from my mind
It takes time, it takes time
Time, every caged bird wanna fly
It takes time, darling, time

[Outro]
Wait on me, wait on me, wait on me
I'ma have to wait on me, wait on me, wait on me
Got a lot of weight on me, weight on me, weight on me
I'ma have to wait on me, wait on me, wait on me
