about

I wrote “I Was a Bird” about coming back to a place you’re meant to be, a home, in whatever form that takes. I was a bird. I’ve always been a bird, flying whichever way the wind blows, at the expense of my soul. I’ve learned some hard lessons, lost some friends along the way, even lost myself. But I came back, and (at least for now) I’m here to stay.

lyrics

Hello my friend, I meant to call you up
A thousand times
But time got in at the way
I heard you’re well, I heard you found love
I sent you my love
For all this time

I hurt myself, I won’t do anything
But I’d give anything to see you now
I hear your voice in every waking dream
You’re part of everything
That haunts me now

I was a bird, I had to fly
Away from here or I would die
I was a bird, I flew so far
To find my home is where you are
I was a bird

Time has its way with us
We never have a hand
I guess I hoped someday
That you would understand

I was a bird, I had to fly
Away from here or I would die
I was a bird, I flew so far
To find my home is where you are
I was a bird
