Little Birds Lyrics - Singles - Melissa Mcclelland

Morning came with such a jolt 

That I forgot my soul at home 

This pick-me-up, stale coffee cup 

Is filling up my insides, though 

And here I sit on subway stains 

With blue pin stripe corporate charades 

Outside I'm sure it's magical 

But today I've got to get paid 

Little birds over the South Pacific sea 

Falling from the sky in perfect symmetry 

Well, there goes each and every one of my dreams 

Shattered images of who I'll never be 

What is summer without sunshine? 

Who likes dancing on a straight line? 

When all these colors fade into mine 

Tell me, am I black and blue? 

It's comforting to know the day begins 

And it will surely end 

Tucked between these filthy sheets 

Where nightmares start 

Where sweet dreams end 

Caught in a kaleidoscope 

Of timely orchestrated screams 

Filling space with barren thoughts 

Motionless antipathy 

Little birds over the South Pacific sea 

Falling from the sky in perfect symmetry 

Well, there goes each and every one of my dreams 

Shattered images of who I'll never be 

It's like fucking without kissing 

Or never knowing what you're missing 

And you're finally confessing 

That you'll never stand a chance 

Seeing Venice through a TV 

Or thinking beautiful means pretty 

When all these colors blend completely 

Tell me, can you even see me?
