Birds

[Verse 1: dodie, Thomas Sanders] I don't wanna drive a fancy car today I don't wanna ride in a red corvette I don't wanna jog my Saturday away But I don't wanna go home yet Today is not the day to jump out of a plane I don't wanna parasail or play roulette I don't wanna risk it all or go insane But I don't wanna go home yet [Chorus: Both] I just want to watch the birds go by From my handy fold-able blue canvas throne I wanna watch them fly and fly And see them soar up into the unknown But I'd feel just like a nerd Watching birds Watching me here all alone [Verse 2: dodie, Thomas Sanders] I don't wanna break dance or learn taekwondo I don't wanna fish 'til all the fish are gone I don't wanna roller skate, even if it's slow I don't wanna pass out in a marathon I don't like soccer, baseball track or field I'm not up for a match of polo I don't wanna seek or try to stay concеaled I'm also not up for... water polo? [Chorus: Both] I just wanna watch the birds up thеre Track the migratory patterns that they flow I wanna watch them from my chair With my binoculars, my latte and my phone Trying to spot a lark In the park Parked in nature all alone [Bridge: dodie, Thomas Sanders, Both] Alone here with the doves The sparrows, the ospreys The owlets, the eaglets, and my list It's just me and Mr. Finch The robins, the kingfishers, the snipes Though I heard they don't exist! Each little species And it's little way can teach me What awaits you If you can get away I wanna watch the birds do what they will Sorry if I'm ornithologically prone I wanna watch from somewhere undisturbing Quiet, calm, still Sit right here and gaze at the unknown I don't wanna fly in the sky, I just wanna be alone [Outro: Thomas Sanders, Both] It's not a big deal, or anything I just wanna be alone
