[Verse 1]
I see how you easily
Slip into the comfort of your mind
Can I take a feather from your wing?
And it means everything, I'll keep it close to me
Mood swings are such pretty things
I've gotta ask why do you cage them inside? Why?
Do you think there’s something up my sleeve?
Or are these just my wings? Such dirty wings
[Chorus]
Follow me, we'll all take flight
Shadowing who’s left behind
As we watch the sunrise creeping in
Songbirds with folded arms
Waiting for your deep alarm
Can we hear your true voice growing in?
[Verse 2]
When you sing, there's no misery
You better check your tone, they're only lullabies
Why?
Do you see there's something up my sleeve?
These are just my wings, such pretty things
[Chorus]
Follow me, we'll all take flight
Shadowing who’s left behind
As we watch the sunrise creeping in
Songbirds with folded arms
Waiting for your deep alarm
Can we hear your true voice growing in?
[Bridge]
I'll walk alone, I'll grow only on my own
So far below, we know all there is to know
Are you okay? Are you okay now?
[Chorus]
Follow me, we'll all take flight
Shadowing who’s left behind
As we watch the sunrise creeping in
Songbirds with folded arms
Waiting for your deep alarm
Can we hear your true voice growing in?
[Outro]
It's growing in
It's growing in
We hear it growing in

Bouncy. Jumping around in the studio. Hips shaking in every direction. Friends wondering what the fuck is going on here? This is what I remember when recording this song. This was fun. For everyone involved it felt like wrestling a wild animal. Watching everyone try to make sense of my guitar moveme...
