wounds of recollection - blue bird on the tarmac lyrics

Loading...

touching down in seattle
i pictured our lives here
i slept in the cold and wrapped myself in heavy sheets to keep the heat in

we walked through the suburbs
and realized that life here seems just as ordinary as our own
and i felt at home

and it dawns on me that i’m further from home than i’ve ever been
but i’m finding the solace that i knew in the pacific wind passing through

at lake tipsoo we walked softly as to not disturb the bees and wildflowers
i know you’re exhausted

but i’ll savor the momеnt
and burn it into my memories
while wе sit and watch the birds
take the runway toward home

i always thought it’d be me
i always wondered how much its k!lled you
but we can sit and watch the birds for now
take the red+eye back home
wherever that is

wherever it is, it feels like home
and i’m starting to find my peace
in the moments we both know
i stopped and watched a thousand birds migrate back south before december came around
i can’t help but think of long drives to my childhood home after seasons away
but it feels like there’s a barricade built from the scars upon my arm
and its buried me in shame for well past a decade

i wondered how many lost fledglings starved before they reached a nest that was safe and warm
far from the only home that they knew
or did they even know where home was at all?

did you ever figure me out in the end?
i don’t think you ever really did
and for once i think i’m okay with it

it’s clear to me now that you never resented me
i think this whole time i’m the one who hated me

so i’ve savored the moment
and burned it into my memories of you
you said you see god in everything
and i’m too dazed to speak

i think i know what it means
i think i know just how much its k!lled you
but we can sit and watch the birds for now
fly together back home
wherever that is
wherever that is

and i can’t stop dreaming of the places we will go
but i know that time is running short
and we will not get more
so i’ll sit and watch the birds take flight
then close my eyes and imagine i’m home
wherever that is
