Chasing Birds EP Lyrics

Oh who is she, that girl on the floor?

Singing her songs so sweetly

Oh, who is she?

Oh, who is she? 

She writes symphonies at the age of four

It’s only a matter of time before

She’s rich and famous

She's going places

Her angel voice gives adults a kick

She’s mama’s favorite little party trick

Oh, goodness gracious

She’s going places

She leaves a lasting impression everywhere she goes

She’s the girl that everyone’s proud to know

And when she does her homework all her teachers say

“This will be worth a big fortune some day!”

A gifted kid, she’s the talk of the town

She’ll ache for their love when she lets them all down

Oh, will she make it?

She’s going places 

(She’s going places)

I can’t feel the things I used to feel

I can’t feel the things I used to feel

I am no one without my voice

I am without my voice

I am no one

I am no one without my voice

I am no one without my voice

(She’s going places)

I am no one without my voice 

(She’s going places)

I am no one without my voice 

(She’s going places)

I am no one

Nobody, nobody, no one

I’m not more

Than all the things I’ve seen before

I’ve never been special

No, never unique

And I am completely at peace

He thinks she’s pretty, likes her till she

Says something insane 

Crazy, mental, knows his schedule

He wants to escape 

But I know that I want you forever 

And I won’t play games with you, my love 

It’s now or never 

Tell me all your secrets so I can love you

I just wanna know you through and through 

Tell me all your secrets so I can love you

I just wanna know you through and through 

In love already, doesn’t get she’s

Scared one off again

Boundaries passed, they’re moving fast

She doesn’t see the trend 

But I know that I want you forever 

And I won’t play games with you, my love 

It’s now or never 

Tell me all your secrets so I can love you

I just wanna know you through and through 

Tell me all your secrets so I can love you

I just wanna know you through and through

Tell me all your secrets so I can love you 

(But I know that I want you forever)

I just wanna know you through and through 

(And I won’t play games with you, my love)

I hear whispers from my people

They’re just pictures on the wall

They call out in my mother’s tongue

But I don’t understand at all

I cycle through identities 

In search of somewhere I can call my own

The moon will always follow you home

I’ve been chasing birds

Planted in the dirt 

Didn’t see the harm in trying 

Grounded, I felt weak

And soil looked so bleak

So I became obsessed with flying

And like their wings, I spread my branches

Stretching, filling wide expanses

Had myself convinced that I was flying

I grew leaves to match their feathers

Fitting in—it gave me pleasure

Forgotten in the dust, my roots were dying

Chasing birds

Chasing birds

Chasing birds

I leave my past to crumble in the dirt 

They told me, “darling, fly”

“Your future’s in the sky”

And stumped without my wings, I waited

But lately I have found

My answers in the ground

Maybe flying’s overrated 

But now I’ve gone and spread my branches 

Stretching, filling wide expanses

Burning out on what I thought was flying

Then my leaf-disguise disbanded

Right back on the ground I landed

In those withered roots my blood was drying

Chasing birds

Chasing birds

Chasing birds

I leave my past to crumble in the dirt

Trees abandoned, I’m all alone

New sky, can’t find my way back home

Trees abandoned, I’m all alone

New sky, can’t find my way back home

Trees abandoned, I’m all alone

New sky, can’t find my way back home 

Trees abandoned, I’m all alone

New sky, can’t find my way back home

Chasing birds

(Trees abandoned, I'm all alone)

(New sky, can't find my way back home)

Chasing birds

(Trees abandoned, I'm all alone)

(New sky, can't find my way back home)

Chasing birds

(Trees abandoned, I'm all alone)

(New sky, can't find my way back home)

I leave my past to crumble in the dirt

I leave my past to crumble in the dirt
