​​cardinal

[Verse 1]
A cardinal fell from the sky
So far from home, so alone
Sometimes I dream in black and white
I don't know why
I guess I'm numb

[Chorus]
But I'm not gonna let it show anymore
I think it's time I divide and divide
Until one of me's ecstatic to be alive
And I hope I grow 'til I'm tall enough
To see over myself and my faults
But until then, I'm just a cardinal
I'm just a cardinal

[Post-Chorus]
But I'm not gonna let it show
But I'm not gonna let it show
But I'm not gonna let it show

[Bridge]
So, take my wretched head
Turn it into a satellite
Bury wings so deep
I have no choice but to take flight

[Verse 2]
Tell the ground I said "goodbye"
And I'll miss the soil beneath my skin
But I'm gonna get so high
I'll watch the Earth as it spins
I'll watch the Earth as it spins

[Pre-Drop]
I'm just a cardinal

[Outro]
I'll watch the Earth as it
I'll watch the Earth as it
I'll watch the Earth as it
I'll watch the Earth as it spins
