[Verse 1]
Why do we have to overthink it?
It shouldn't be this complicated
The faster you run, the further I chase
Trying so hard to rearrange us
Look at us now, we're common strangers
One of us has to finish this race

[Pre-Chorus]
I don't understand why we need a plan
It comes natural to me

[Chorus]
Don't have to tell a fire to burn
Don't have to teach a bluebird to fly
Don't have to tell the rain when to fall
From a September sky
Don't have to tell my heart when to leap
Out my chest when I'm with you
Don't have to tell me how to love you, baby
It's just something I do

[Verse 2]
When did your ribs become a cage?
You're locking me out in little phases
I'm showing up and you've disappeared
How can I capture your attention?
What can I say to make you listen?
Why do you turn away from my tears?
[Pre-Chorus]
It's so out of hand, I don't understand
I have loved you from the start

[Chorus]
Don't have to tell a fire to burn
Don't have to teach a bluebird to fly
Don't have to tell the rain when to fall
From a September sky
Don't have to tell my heart when to leap
Out my chest when I'm with you
Don't have to tell me how to love you, baby
It's just something I do

[Bridge]
Every day, every minute, either it is, or it isn't
Is it just me? Are you in it, too?
Every day and every minute shouldn't be a competition
Is it just me? Are you in it, too?

[Chorus]
Don't have to tell a fire to burn
Don't have to teach a bluebird to fly
Don't have to tell the rain when to fall
From a September sky
Don't have to tell my heart when to leap
Out my chest when I'm with you
Don't have to tell me how to love you, baby
It's just something I do
Don't have to tell me how to love you, baby
It's just something I do
Something I do
