lyrics

Hands like a bird on the inside
Open the window it's not flying out
I'm like the beak on it
Flew into the glass and it hurts to speak out
So I stopped, now starting, my words are surprising
And everything I say's a shock to you
Wish I knew sooner too, or knew how to say it

Cause this gentle unfolding inside me
Has come out unfolded
A map that you're trying to read in the wind
You can't see me over the edges
The paper is tearing
Your patience is wearing thin

Hands like a steeple, the steeplejack's climbing
Whole life in a body suspended mid-air
No-one to catch you, it's nobody's job to
And I'm on the ground, nothing I can do
Wish I knew sooner too, or knew how to say it

Cause this gentle unfolding inside me
Has come out unfolded
A map that you're trying to read in the wind
You can't see me over the edges
The paper is tearing
Your patience is wearing thin

Rather the truth than living a lie
It's gonna hurt now for both you and I
Wanna say it's hurting me more than you
But we both know
We both know
That's simply not true

Hands like a bird on the inside
Open the window it's not flying out
I'm like the beak on it
Flew into the glass and it hurts to speak out
So I stopped, now starting, my words are surprising
And everything I say's a shock to you
Wish I knew sooner too, or knew how to say it

Cause this gentle unfolding inside me
Has come out unfolded
A map that you're trying to read in the wind
You can't see me over the edges
The paper is tearing
Your patience is wearing thin
