You're just like time
Except you can feel the shame
All hands on deck, now

The sea is getting rough again
You see me out your window
Even when you close the blinds

And all you ever wanted
Was someone to treat you
Nice and kind


Take a step before running
Take a breath now before you die

When you work the streets, darlin'
Make sure
Your sneaker laces they get tied

I'll be your black bird darlin'
Hanging on your telephone wire
Flap my wings, oh yeah

And set your heart to fly
