A Lot Like Birds – For Shelley Lyrics

I remember proudly stepping over glass
That you said could never cut me
If I walked where you walked
Kept my hand in your hand
So I clung onto you

I remember soundly leaping over rocks
That you promised I would never trip on
If I kept my eyes up nothing would surprise us
Always wandering

You never seem you fall
You never seem to be out of place
Whenever we were lost
You’d end up happy there anyway

I remember sleeping on the tiled floor
Felt the nurses feel me, wake me
So you can come in no keys
Waiting to see your luck
Wish that she were well

There were rocks in your path
There was glass in your hand
You tried to smile but the words were merley bare
You took my hand in your arms and this feels like home
And you begged me to take you there

So you fade
Couldn’t take it on my own
How I hate it
That our hearts go on
Can end up cold

I remember dreaming that this wasn’t real
That you’d be there as I’m waking
We’d both deny we were scared
