Lyrics

Birdcage

Now the sun is coming out

It's better than the rain

I finally wipe away the clouds

Leave me here and

Maybe I'll be fine

As long as I have you on the right

So much easier to get out

I'm breaking from my cage

Kill the lights and burn it down

Leave the keys and

Maybe I'll be fine

As long as I have you on the right
