You nod toward the bottle
As you start to pour
And say, pain's a game that
I don't play no more
It hasn't always been this way
I used to wait for
My lover, like a patient for the cure
But your dreams are like
Birds in the sky
You're a wonderful person
Who pours songs into my eyes
like the sunrise floods
everything with light
and seals up the mud
and heals the ground dry
And on my lips
are the words you left
our hearts all beat the same
it was my first taste of this feeling that remains
You are an angel of the new heaven
Like a soldier you walk with your hand over your chest
reciting your gratitude for your friends
saying, I love you with everything I have left
Your dreams are like
Birds in the sky
You're a wonderful person
Who pours songs into my eyes
Like the sunrises up
To color in the sky
And seals up the mud
and heals the ground dry
It's like you said
when the day ends
our hearts don't beat different
It's just how closely we choose to listen
When I can't tell
Which tears are mine
Our hearts beat to the same time
Makes a rhapsody
Makes a symphony inside
In the time before I die
I will hold my voice up high
It's not going to help us to hide
Fight the good fight
Fight for good
Fight the good fight
Fight for good
When a chapter ends
Birds build a nest in our final pages
and the words we used to say
will keep their babies safe
