Talking Bird Song Lyrics – Death Cab for Cutie

    Talking Bird Song Lyrics

    [Intro]
    1, 2, 3, 4

    [Verse 1]
    Oh, my talking bird
    Though you know so few words
    They’re on infinite repeat
    Like your brain can’t keep up with your beak
    And you’re kept in an open cage
    So you’re free to leave or stay
    And sometimes, you get confused
    Like there is a hint that I am trying to give you

    [Hook]
    The longer you think
    The less you know what to do

    [Verse 2]
    It’s hard to see your way out
    When you live in a house in a house
    ‘Cause you don’t realize
    That the windows were open the whole time
    But oh, my talking bird
    Though your feathers are tattered and furled
    I’ll love you all your days
    ‘Til the breath leaves your delicate frame


    [Hook]
    It’s all here for you
    As long as you choose
    To stay, hey
    It’s all here for you
    As long as you don’t fly away
