Listen To The Birds

When the tide gets too high
And you're stuck there
And the colors start to blend together
Don't start begging to leave
Stay for as long as you need
When the weight of the world gets too heavy
And you're dying to live past seventeen
Try to remember your mom
She's alone too when you're gone
Listen to the birds singing still the same
In the video tapes
They come back home when it's warmer
Listen to the songs and do not be ashamed
When things change
You're just seeing what the world has to offer
Try to listen to it all
When your room hasn't changed since November
And you're trying to get out of the blue
Go and change your perfume
You gotta let go of that version of you
And listen to the birds singing still the same
In the video tapes
They come back home when it's warmer
Listen to the songs and do not be ashamed
When things change
You loved everything you possibly could
I loved everything I possibly could
I'll love everything I possibly can
Try to listen to it all
