The Bird Song (with Em Beihold)

She was a bird

I was an arrow

Both of us sure

We were sword and a sparrow

Still, when we flew

We never knew

There in the air

I felt her feathers

First all at once

Then all together

When I went through

That's when I knew

I'm a killer, and a killer is a bad, bad thing to be

She's a giver, and a giver's even worse to folks like me

'Cause I never really wanna be (Never)

The one to hurt somebody (Wanna hurt)

But it just keeps happening (Someone)

Yeah, it just keeps happening (Ahh, why, ahh)

I was a bird

He was an arrow

I was allured by the straight and the narrow

What could I do?

His aim was true

Straight to the heart

I let it happen

I couldn't hardly have ever imagined

That when he went through me

He'd hate what he's doin'

And make me feel stupid for choosin' him too

'Cause I'm a giver, and a giver is a bad, bad thing to be

He's a killer, and a killer's even worse for folks like me

'Cause I never really wanna (Never)

Feel the hurt from anybody (Wanna feel)

But it just keeps happening (The hurt)

Yeah, it just keeps happening (Ahh, why, ahh)

Yeah, it just keeps happening

Fallin', never to fly again

Darlin', together when everything's fading

The shade of the trees and the dark

I'm in love with the idea

Of dying with you in my arms

But not like this

We can't really help who we are

We can't really help who we are

We can't really help who we are

Damned to the end from the start

We can't really help who we are

We can't really help who we are

We can't really help who we are

Damned to the end from the start

We can't really help who we are

We can't really help who we are (She was a bird)

We can't really help who we are (I was an arrow)

(Both of us sure)

Damned to the end from the start (We were sword and a sparrow)

(I was a bird)

We can't really help who we are (He was an arrow)

We can't really help who we are
