Pigeon and the Dove by Matt Van Lyrics

Can't you see, little one
You're a pigeon, she's a dove
What a petty little dream
For a homely pair of wings

Fly away, little one
You're not fooling anyone
Insignificant and small
Tethered plumes and a broken call

What a strange sort of love
Between the pigeon and the dove
It was never meant to be
It was never meant to be

What a strange little world
For an ordinary bird
Just as lost as you and I
Just as lost as you and I, I

Rest your wings, little one
Haven't you had enough?
You're not welcome in this place
It's the truth you must embrace
Settle down, little one
Haven't you given up?
Can't you see you don't belong
In this fantasy you've drawn

What a strange sort of love
Between the pigeon and the dove
It was never meant to be
It was never meant to be

What a strange little world
For an ordinary bird
Just as lost as you and I
Just as lost as you and I
Just an ordinary bird
Just as lost as you and I

Can't you see, little one
You're a pigeon, she's a dove
What a petty little dove
For a homely pair of wings

Fly away, little one
You're not fooling anyone
Insignificant and small
Tethered plumes and a broken call
What's so strange about the love
Between the pigeon and the dove?
They're not so different after all
And I'm inclined to prove you wrong

Can't you see, my little dove
I'm a pigeon, you're the one I love
I know it's not for me to choose
I'm not giving up on you
