Feeling like a foreigner under these damn tiles I’ve been lying here awake now for a while, for a while Not afraid of the silence nor of the dark What I’d do for your presence to fill the cracks Of this broken house, of this broken heart And I will learn to love again, this place I’ve known I’m fooled by my mind, like it’s not my own I see you playing in the sun out the window Show me the beetles and the bugs you’ve found, in the garden Show me the beetles and the bugs you’ve found As the boats we made set sail on the lake I didn’t hear them calling out your name I watched you float further and further away Anchors lifted, nothing left to hold you down Anchors lifted, I guess I’ll see you around Show me the beetles and the bugs you’ve found, in the garden Show me the beetles and the bugs you’ve found Show me the beetles and the bugs you’ve found, in the garden It seems the beetles and the bugs, they’re with you now

The Birds 02:29
The birds are your eyes, keeping an eye on me The sheets are your arms, hold me close, help me sleep Your feet are the lights and there’s no doubt I’d follow what shines Still I can’t be called out of darkness tonight Won’t you, tell me, it’s alright again This time I’ll believe you And take it in Give me strength like only you know how Oh no, don’t let me stumble now It’s been years and you’re still here I feel your hand on my shoulder fools me into thinking I’m closer, than I am Won’t you, tell me, it’s alright again This time I’ll believe you And take it in This time I’ll believe you And take it in

I’m going changing for you If it’s the last thing that I do I’ll change my shirt my hair my shoes Turn what you don’t like into, something you do I’m going changing, changing I’m going changing for you Changed my address so it looks good on a letter I hope you write to me soon When you return I swear to be better You won’t change your mind will you? I’m going changing, changing I’m going changing for you Call me what you like, if my name ain't good enough Call me something nice, won’t you love Call me what you like, if my name ain’t good enough Call me something nice if it’s still me you’re speaking of Is it still me you’re speaking of? Please don’t go changing Oh don’t go changing, changing Oh don’t go changing, I beg you please Oh don’t go changing, changing Oh don’t go changing, I beg you please Oh don’t go changing for me

The feeling’s gone Oh I held on but the feeling’s gone And I held on tight With all my might, I held on tight But the feeling’s gone And I sure hope it finds its way to some place new Guess it ran its time with me and you Thought it was here to stay Got up and left the room one day And who am I to stand in its way? Now the feeling’s gone And as it stood, it stood in the doorway There was nothing left to do nor say As it stood, it stood in the doorway There was nothing I could do nor say I guess sometimes, it goes that way And I sure hope it finds its way to some place new Guess it ran its time with me and you And it left some baggage, how long ‘till we unpack? Or do we tiptoe round it, we’re so good at that Now the feeling’s gone And I sure hope it’s found its way To some place new Guess it ran its time with me and you Now the feeling’s gone
