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
