Desperate, reaching up from my pedestal,
Strange, lazy only to keep me cool,
Mad at me for seeing only madness too,
Trapped in thought, allusions of me and you,

You feel like my own history,
Eerily familiar to me,
I'm feeling the same old things,
Regretting what fear did bring,
And it gets me...

Carried away, my God its not right for me to be,
Carried away, but I want to run back to you and stay,
Carried away, when you wake up next to me we get,
Carried away, carried away, carried away.

Please don't feel the need
To give or take a thing,
Just let me sing to you
Like you sing to me,

In the dark green trees and the wind in their leaves,
That gust wakes me up, and settles in me, 
Like the birds in the sky and the love in your eyes,
Or the way that you feel, when it's too dark to see,
And it gets me...

Carried away, my God its not right for me to be,
Carried away, but I want to run back to you and stay,
Carried away, when you wake up next to me we get,
Carried away, carried away, carried away.

Mistakes that I make I made to escape
A vexatious place, of less happiness,
But more than enough love.
For Little Bird.
