about

for Drew

lyrics

I’ve sat and thought on all my options
and all my options have you
but we both know I need to grow
you need to believe in me too

Sometimes a bird needs
a push from the tree
into the arms of the one he loves

So will you wait for me?
wait for me to stand
on these two bird legs
and fill my head
with the things that I’ve done right

Then maybe we could align

I tried to say in every way
that I was perfect as is
but this ain’t an auction
no sales pitch concoction
so I better shut my lid

You don’t need
to chew my food and feed me
like some baby bird

So will you wait for me?
wait for me to stand
on these two bird legs
and fill my head
with the things that I’ve done right

Then maybe we could align

I built all my branches and took all my chances
and today is the day I jump
as long as the bird that’s down on the earth
is you and only you
