Even before I could speak
Caged in my ribs, carefully hid
Singing about things that aren't right in the world
Day and night, night and day
People always say to me, they always say
"Hey, what's your birds' name?"
And I say, "You and I
You and I"
Caged in my ribs
It's always been there, carefully hid
There's always been a bird in me
Who doesn't have a tree, who doesn't sleep
Who only sings when it hurts
And it always seems to hurt
In me
