Take your time
and say you didn't mean it
and if you really mean it
won't you try to help me feel it
in dreams you mime
I'm a little hard to talk to
was it hard for you to see it
when I said I never knew you

I like you better than the clouds in the sky but
I can't remember why a bird wants to fly when
I get this feeling there's a troop train on my tail
I had to go and now that I know I'll hit the trail

take your shot
I'm trying not to move
and to whom it may behoove
just let the needle find the groove
like or not I can see it in your eyes
you're going to try
and there will never be a way
that I can prove
that I was trying not to fly

I like you better than the clouds in the sky but
I can't imagine why a bird wants to fly when
I know I am the loss leader of the sale
I had to go and now that I know I'll hit the trail

take your bow
with love for all the living creatures
you've got to have the latest features
when you're playing for the bleachers
I must allow
you're good at cutting through the tape
with a note from all your teachers
to certify your great escape

I must have got a little soap in my eye but
I can't remember why a bird wants to fly
so I think I'll move it on a little further down the rail
I had to go and now that I know I'll hit the trail
