Birds by Silver Retriever Lyrics

Turn down the lights, turn down the lights up in the sky
Turn down the moon, it’s too much to lose
Seventh of May, the heat of the day is choking me
But it’s so hard to scream when you can’t even breathe

All that I am is more than I can be
And all that I’ve planned is deafening me

So let’s stay home and listen to the birds singing out our window
Let’s be alone, buried in the blankets and the pillows
We won’t pick up our phones
We’ll let the music take us to a world where we don’t have to take the hard way
Have a bad day
Do what they say
Just for today

I open my eyes, but when it’s too bright retreat to shade
I know where to go where we can lay low

The fields of green are beckoning me to come and play
But it seems far away when concrete is safe
All that I am is more than I can be
And all that I’ve planned is deafening me

So let’s stay home and listen to the birds singing out our window
Let’s be alone, buried in the blankets and the pillows
We won’t pick up our phones
We’ll let the music take us to a world where we don’t have to take the hard way
Have a bad day
Do what they say
Just for today

I wanna feel the world is something that I know
But my jungle of steel and drywall is the only place I dare to go

All I can do is grow what I can be
And all that I knew is holding me back from being free

So let’s stay home and listen to the birds singing out our window
Let’s be alone, buried in the blankets and the pillows
We won’t pick up our phones
We’ll let the music take us to a world where we don’t have to take the hard way
Have a bad day
Do what they say
Just for today
