| Buried alive and about to burst
|
| Why am I surprised when I’m so well rehearsed?
|
| I’m getting tired and I’m dying of thirst
|
| I keep turning the dial but the tape is stuck in reverse
|
| It’s taking awhile and it’s only getting worse
|
| And I don’t know where I fit in
|
| I know how the story goes
|
| I just don’t know how it ends
|
| This is all I’ve ever known and it’s all I’ve ever done
|
| I’m a bird on a wire, just like everyone
|
| A bird on a wire and tired of facing the sun
|
| Leading the blind when the lines are blurred
|
| On borrowed time living word to word
|
| Sometimes it’s fine but sometimes it really hurts
|
| It’s okay if I want to run
|
| Far away if I want to run
|
| It’s okay if I want to run
|
| It’s okay, it’s okay, it’s okay
|
| And I don’t know where I fit in
|
| I know how the story goes
|
| I just don’t know how it ends
|
| This is all I’ve ever known and it’s all I’ve ever done
|
| I’m a bird on a wire, just like everyone
|
| A bird on a wire and I’m tired of facing the sun
|
| It’s okay if I want to run
|
| Far away if I want to run
|
| It’s okay if I want to run
|
| It’s okay, it’s okay, it’s okay
|
| It’s okay if I want to run
|
| Far away if I want to run
|
| It’s okay if I want to run
|
| It’s okay, it’s okay, it’s okay
|
| It’s all I’ve ever known
|
| And all I’ve ever done |
