How it must feel to be a bird Roaming lonely overseas How it must feel to be a bird London, Paris, underneath And I wait on my own And I couldn't tell you enough that I'm sorry And oh, you couldn't tell me enough that you love me But she's bringing the moon and stars to me Damn permanent reverie And even though this life, this love is brief I've got some people who carry me I wasn't in love soon as we knew each other properly Living about half right till a certain person got to me Nothing is secret, everything's sacred how it ought to be Under the moonlight on a clear night on rooftops is where I want to be Sometimes I'm like a child, that's something I can't release Dreams of a coming home, sweet home, and I'm telling you home's so sweet Said you reminded me of the summertime and I still mean that In a full room, I'm the only one she's smiling at So wouldn't you let me know if you were thinking less of me That's what she asked me, what was promised, what we both agreed But truthfully if you ever go, you'd drop me straight to hell The seventh circle and I was talking with you earlier We were open and vulnerable, it was wonderful I used to dream that you would talk to me I used to dream that you would talk to me And I couldn't tell you enough that I'm sorry And oh, you couldn't tell me enough that you love me She's bringing the moon and stars to me, I'm permanent reverie And even though this life, this love is brief I've got some people who carry me You know that feeling when you think your heart is gonna come right out through your shirt Get it a couple times a year, but I've been getting it more often with her Now when I'm face to face with death, I'll grab his throat and ask him how does it hurt Up in those golden moments growing old, too quickly was he thinking of her But she's bringing the moon and stars to me, I'm permanent reverie And even though this life, this love is brief And even though this life, this love is brief I've got some people who carry me
