lyrics

Rain falls around me, I wonder if you see me.
Searching for any signs of doubt or mercy.
You say you'll stay here if I promise to only sing.
Losing my chances while chasing empty glances.
Listen can you hear me? I'm singing in a different key.
You say you'll hear me if I promise to only breathe.
Dreaming of us, I can't see from above.
What matters most can't come close to the lies I've told myself.
Come down from the trees.
I'll never be what you want me to be.
I don't want to get my feet wet.
Shadows watching, my voice is silent.
One step at a time. My feathers fade, but my legs grow strong.
Come down from the trees. I'll never be what you want me to be.
Spinning around, but the ground tells me I'm not broken.
Out in the cold leaving pieces untold.
Come down from the trees.
I'll always be what I've wanted to be.
