Bird of Paradise

[Verse 1]

Feels like I'm on holiday

Down on action

But up against some gentle shore

I always took this for granted



And now you try and take control

Stake out all your sand

I wished that I had not seen

This world I'd uncovered



[Verse 2]

I found it on a paper thin

Moment of sound faith

But I'd never really noticed

Till now that I need it



And as my disposition's mixing up

With the salt in the air

I wished that I had not seen

This world I'd uncovered



[Chorus]

'Cause if I could talk that fast I would

If I could fill my cup I'm good

Somebody take me back to that feeling

Know if I just knew that I would



[Verse 3]

And it descended the night entirely

It reached down on me

And in a long distance state of mind

I confide, in a bird of paradise



Could I float off like a dragonfly

Through the salt in the air

For learn to be ok with this world as it is



[Chorus]

And if I could talk that fast I would

Somebody fill my cup I should

And if it hurts that much don't fight it

Know if I just knew that



[Bridge]

It was left outside some time ago

In the pouring rain a cardboard cutout of you

But in a desperate state of mind you'll find

Time moves slow



[Chorus]

'Cause if I could talk that fast I would

And if I could fill my cup I'm good

Somebody take me back to that feeling

Know if I just knew that I would
