The Wire

The truth is I didn't see the wire until I saw
the bird

I didn't understand my own desire
until I said the words

I couldn't find the soil
while I was digging in the dirt

Yeah the truth is
I didn't see the wire 'til I saw the bird

Oh I
knew there was something there
Oh I
felt myself breathing though I
could not see the air

The truth is that I am ashamed
it took finding him to open my eyes

You held my gaze so tight
I couldn't tell it was shrinking in size

Just a few months
in his love I was revived

Yeah the truth is that I am ashamed I didn't realize

Oh I
knew there was something there
Oh I
felt myself breathing though I
could not see the air

Oh I
knew there was something there
Oh I
felt myself breathing though I
could not see the air
