There was a songbird nesting outside my door.
When he started singing I knew that I’d heard him before.
Time, it seems, won’t ever stop spinning round and round.
Nothing buried deep can keep itself underground.
I looked out my window and all I could see
was a tangled web of ivy climbing up a tree.
It makes me wonder if all I’ll ever do is
sit here and remember thinking ‘bout missing you.
These days it ain’t easy keeping my head on straight.
It’s been so easy for me to feel like I’ve got no fate.
Love won’t mean a Goddamn thing ‘till you’ve been held by pain.
I don’t think I’d thank the sun if I’d never been caught in rain.
I looked out my window and all I could see
was a tangled web of ivy climbing up a tree.
and I just can't help but wonder if all I’ll ever do is
sit here and remember thinking ‘bout missing you.
