Intro
F
Spoken:
Birds fall from the window ledge above mine
Then they flap their wings at the last second
F A# C F A# C
[Verse]
F A# C F
You see, birds fall from the window ledge above mine
A# C F A# C F A# C
Then they flap their wings at the last second
F A# C
I can see their dead weight
F A#
Just dropping like stones
C F A# C
Or small loaves of bread
F A# C
Past my window all the time
F A# C F
But unless I get up
A# C
Walk across the room
F A# C F
And peer down below
A# C F
I
A# C F A#
Don't see their last-second curves
C F A#
Toward a horizontal flight
C F A# C F A# C
All these birds just falling from the ledge like stones
F A# C
Now due to a construct in my mind
F A# C
That makes their falling and their flight
F A# C F A#
Symbolic of my entire existence
C F A# C
It becomes important for me
F A#
To get up and see
C F A# C F
Their last-second curves toward flight
A# C F A#
It's almost as if my life would fall
C F A# C
Unless I see their ascent
[Chorus]
