lyrics

Right inside your window
I got caught in a breeze
Trying to hold on
To my fading desire to please
But I find myself despite myself
Drifting somewhere new
The sheen of my new skin
The rest is no longer true

It's so warm inside your home
It's been my church and my ache
And I'm still inside
Waiting for the locks to break
These lips that hardly speak
Are a gift from you
Your gifts are endless
Your gifts are too few

So I fly out the window
Right out of the room
Don't try and try to hold my world
In your sugar spoon
My feathers are still tethered
And the sky is too wide
But let me be an ocean
Without a tide

I still wake up in your shoes
Take them off with care
You see they weigh me down
As I take to the air
Your love is the kind of love
That's always on my mind
But love is an anchor
And love can be blind

So I fly out the window
Right out of the room
Don't try and try to hold my world
In your sugar spoon
My feathers are still tethered
And the sky is too wide
But let me be an ocean
Without a tide

Know that I am somewhere new
A small room with an endless view
When I close my eyes
all that I see is you
You

So I fly out the window
Right out of the room
Don't try and try to hold my world
In your sugar spoon
My feathers are still tethered
And the sky is too wide
But let me be an ocean
Without a tide
