I'm A Bird
Jake Newton
I'm a bird landing soft on the edge of the wire,
you're the stone sinking deep in my chest,
the cross on your neck feels just like the ice on the wire
at your house where we played as small kids

You're the note in my pants reaching right near the crotch,
I'm the same 'tween that lace and your breast,
let's go back just with words to the time by the lake
before my life felt like someone's cruel test

and tell me that God keeps his miracles locked up
And Pockets of pills will release them,
But I don't think that you can,
no I don't think that you can release Me

Now miss me bad or I swear there will be hell to pay
Love me darling you better or else
Take a picture put it on the hood of your car
and drive to places that we've never been

And Tell me that God keeps his miracles locked up
and Pockets of pills will release them
But I don't think that you can,
No i don't think that you can release Me

I thought I knew you
but I guess I just looked right through you
when I saw Love staring right back at me
Saw love staring right back at me
saw love staring right back at me

Darling you are a tragic character, from books that I never tried to read
and I guess I'm just a dumb-****,
Guess i'm just a dumb-****, and I'm so sorry for all of this,

I'm the moss growing slo on the stone of your Drave
You're the Worms in my Skulj


*********************************************************

I can't give solutions to all of life's problems, doubts
or fears. But I can listen to you, and together we will
search for answers.
I can't change your past with all it's heartache and pain,
nor the future with its untold stories.
But I can be there now when you need me to care.
I can't keep your feet from stumbling.
I can only offer my hand that you may grasp it and not fall
Your joys, triumphs, successes, and happiness are not mine;
Yet I can share in your laughter.
Your decisions in life are not mine to make, nor to judge;
I can only support you, encourage you,
and help you when you ask
I can't prevent you from falling away from friendship,
from your values, from me.
I can only pray for you, talk to you and wait for you.
I can't give you boundaries which I have determined for you,
But I can give you the room to change, room to grow,
room to be yourself.
I can't keep your heart from breaking and hurting,
But I can cry with you and help you pick up the pieces
and put them back in place.
I can't tell you who you are.
I can only love you and be your friend
