lyrics

I run as fast as I can
With a bird in my lap
That I found in the weeds
Where no one cares at all

I keep you balled in my hand
The small little knot of a life that I found
Means nothing to here at all

I didn’t know you at all
But a childish urge and an animal gift in my palm
Turns out, I didn’t know you at all
But a stranger’s word on acorn day
meant the world to us all

I tug as hard as I can
But the elephant boat at the end of the rope
Gives everything it has

I dig my heels in the sand
While the bird on my back cries a love
To the world, and no one hears his song

I didn’t know you at all
But a childish urge and an animal gift in my palm
Turns out, I didn’t know you at all
But a stranger’s word on acorn day
meant the world to us all

We get lost, and we get found
Nothing changes here at all
On this day last year in fall
To go unnoticed here, is all

We escape and then get caught
Nothing changes here at all
You forget and I run off
Before we realize at all

I didn’t know you at all
But a childish urge and an animal gift in my palm
Turns out, I didn’t know you at all
But a stranger’s word on acorn day
meant the world to us all
