I willed you to be
From the skin of a tree
From the magnolia to the tallest of oaks
Even they could see
That the branch grew from me
But can I speak for me?
I want me to, believe you me
Lighting up just to lighten up
And I'm sizing up my option
Do I panic, or do I panic worse?
I looked in my eyes and I saw myself breaking
So slow down, little birdie
Don't fly away so soon
Run away where wings can't follow
Like flightless birds hatched on the morrow
I bade you none a proper farewell
So, in your memory
I remember the way you used to hold me down
And I remember the day you turned my life around
Until you all skipped town
Went six feet under the ground
No, I can't take this
No, I can't be this
Evermore
By god, this city's on fire (Home)
(Evermore)
Don't let me tell you all about me
I could lie to myself
My memories lying behind a shelf
When you look back, do you feel anything?
Can you look back at all?
If you saw me like this, you'd laugh
And all at once may we remember it all
So slow down, little birdie
Don't fly away so soon
So fly high, my little birdie
The rest is up to you
