Bird On A Wire

Buried alive and about to burst
 Why am I surprised when I'm so well rehearsed
 I'm getting tired and I'm dying of thirst
 I keep turning the dial but the tape is stuck in reverse
 It's taking a while and it's only getting worse
 
 And I don't know where I fit in
 I know how the story goes
 I just don't know how it ends
 This is all I've ever known
 And it's all I've ever done
 I'm a bird on a wire, just like everyone
 A bird on a wire and I'm tired of facing the sun
 Leading the blind when the lines are blurred
 On borrowed time, living word to word
 Sometimes it fine but sometimes it really hurts
 It's okay if I want to run (A bird on a wire)
 Far away, if I want to run (A bird on a wire)
 It's okay if I want to run (A bird on a wire)
 It's okay, it's okay, it's okay
 And I don't know where I fit in
 I know how the story goes
 I just don't know how it ends
 This is all I've ever known
 And it's all I've ever done
 I'm a bird on a wire, just like everyone
 A bird on a wire and I'm tired of facing the sun
 It's okay if I want to run (A bird on a wire)
 Far away, if I want to run (A bird on a wire)
 It's okay if I want to run (A bird on a wire)
 It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay
 It's okay if I want to run (A bird on a wire)
 Far away, if I want to run (A bird on a wire)
 It's okay if I want to run (A bird on a wire)
 It's okay, it's okay, it's okay
 It's all I've ever known (It's all I've ever known)
 And all I've ever done
