Bird of Paradise

Feels like I'm on holiday
 Down on action
 But up against some gentle shore
 I always took this for granted
 And now you try and take control
 Stake out all your sand
 I wished that I had not seen this world I'd uncovered
 I found it on a paper thin
 Moment of sound faith
 But I'd never really noticed till now that I need it
 And as my dispositions mixing up
 With the salt in the air
 I wished that I had not seen this world I'd uncovered
 Cos If I could talk that fast I would
 If I could fill my cup, I'm good
 Somebody take me back, to that feeling
 Know if I just knew that I would
 And it descended the night entirely
 It reached down on me
 And in a long distance state of mind
 I confide, in a bird of paradise
 Could I float off like a dragon fly
 Through the salt in the air
 Or learn to be ok with this world as it is
 And If I could talk that fast I would
 Somebody fill my cup, I should
 And If it hurts that much, don't fight it
 Know If I just knew that
 It was left outside some time ago
 In the pouring rain a cardboard cutout of you
 But in a desperate state of mind you'll find
 Time moves slow
 Cos If I could talk that fast I would
 And If I could fill my cup, I'm good
 Somebody take me back, to that feeling
 Know if I just knew that I would
