The Bird and the Dog

You know it don't mean a thing
You've said it too many times
So there's nothing you could say
I'll just assume it's a lie
I don't wanna speak
I don't wanna move
I don't wanna love you too soon
Gotta lotta weight
Im afraid ill break
If I don't do something soon
I don't wanna sleep
I don't wanna blink
I don't dream of you
The bird never learned to fly
And the dog never learned to break the rules

In my dreams
I can see real love
Waking up my heart
Was it all made up
Doesn't feel right to me anymore

I know it don't mean a thing
I've said the same many times
So I don't know what to say
Everything I do you'll just assume
That it's a lie I won't even try
What a waste of yours
What a waste of mine
Never learned to fly
But I learned to dig
And I do it best
When I'm in my head
So I think I stay
Till they find me dead
With a note attached
In my bloody hands
Sayin' that the dog never learned to hunt
And the bird never learned to land

In my dreams
I can see real love
Waking up my heart
Was it all made up
Doesn't feel right to me anymore

It was a may summer's day a
A pretty little bird
Dropped a letter in my box
With a word
Song smooth as milk
Soft as honey
Rain clouds in the town
Smile sunny
Met up for a stack of pancakes
Kept it cute with the handshake
Then I caught a flight and feelings
But I was gone hella damn days
Came back to a damn babe
Stopped me my tracks
Man, stayed
Built a nest
And a dream, with the bird
Thought we had damn plan made
I wanted it to be perfect
I Couldn't see the red flags raised
We coulda used some discernment
But the dream got in the damn way and
