When We Leave

[Verse 1]
This foreign feeling
I kinda like how I don’t belong here for too long
So we talk about you like humans do
And I wonder if in the history of people talking
Could I ever say something new?
If you’ve been listening
The way we think you do
What would you say?

[Chorus]
Do all the birds just stop
When we leave?
As I think I’m so important
In the moment this brief permanence you breathe
Then we’ll all become dirt for the trees
For the trees

[Verse 2]
When I’m in the world and it’s just me
And I’m back in my body
I wonder how old I'd have to be
To be as old as you
And I wonder what you’ve seen
And maybe what you'd do if you can move
If I sit here long enough I swear that I’m on drugs again
And that might just be me remembering
Or am I feeling it remain
Permanently in my system
Are you listening?

[Chorus]
Do all the birds just stop
When we leave?
As I think I’m so important
In the moment this brief permanence you breathe
Then we’ll all become dirt for the trees
For the trees

[Bridge]
And you'll be here long after I'm gone
Ooooo Ooo Ooooooo
And you'll be here long after I'm, long after I'm gone
Ooooooooo

[Instrumental]

[Outro]
Do all the birds just stop
When we leave?
Then we’ll all become dirt for the trees
For the trees
