I told her thank you
She said that's it
I got real nervous, she kissed my lips

And in that moment, I swore, she was all mine

We got to talking, and she began to compliment me

Said that she likes the way I sing,
And perhaps she could help me
But I was caught up, in the pain behind her eyes


She said, make me a bird, I'll fly away
Beyond the comforts of the sick, sick game

I said, make me a bird, and I'll fly too
Don't care where, just want to spend some time with you
A little time with you


Just a blue-eyed boy and a green-eyed girl
And the brightest moon in the whole damn year

And, oh!, I wake up to find this daydream
Her eyes make diamonds look like loose change
The kind that make a man

Lose track of what he's saying, like,
Oooooooh
She said, make me a bird, I'll fly away

Beyond the comforts of the sick, sick game
I said, make me a bird, and I'll fly too
Don't care where, just me and you


Listen, don't want to play the game, just watch your turn
And if I occupy the contents of your mind

Then make me a bird, I'll fly with you
Don't care where, just want to see and spit the truth


Just a blue-eyed boy and a green-eyed girl
And the brightest moon in the whole damn year
Oooooooh


She said, make me a bird, I'll fly away
Beyond the comforts of the sick, sick game

I said, make me a bird, and I'll fly too
Don't care where, just me and you


Listen, don't want to play the game, just watch your turn
And if I occupy the contents of your mind
Then make me a bird, I'll fly with you

Don't care where, just want to see and spit the truth

Make me a bird

God, make me a bird
Make me a bird
God, make me a bird
