I thought you heard it, I thought you knew
All of a sudden, out of the blue
Obvious, it seemed to me
Trying to choose, trying to be
One or the other so carefully
Oh Elliot, you don't have to choose

Birds just want what they want
Clouds just want what they want
And I just want what I want, oh Elliot

I thought it was all understood
20 to 80, I would be good
You can change, I'll be over here
But now I am older, I am surprised
All of the options, slow to realize
Everyday I'm a little more clear

Birds just want what they want
Clouds just want what they want
And I just want what I want, oh Elliot

Birds just want what they want
Clouds just want what they want
Yeah, I just want what I want, oh Elliot
