Birds (Take Me Away)

I seem to be obsessed with birds
Black birds and white birds
Birds that just fly
Only granting a second of appearances before they disappear

And I'm left
Standing on the sidewalk
In my room
Staring out the car window
Or staring at school
Begging
Take me with you
Show me what you see
From the heights
You see everything
How it is laid out

Give me that gift so that I can understand all of this
Not my eyes but from the sky
Give me the wings I crave
The wings I would kill for
So I can fly with you
And I'm having issues with my understanding
Because when I open my eyes
The stranger is still standing beside me

And society abducted myself from me
And I'm left with someone I don’t know
Three sizes too small and the need for snow white
Poison apples
Sedate me with cough syrup dreams
Please
Carry me away on your wings
Help me find her

That girl
I know her name and her age but I do not know her
And I know there are twelve billion people I will have to search through
Because everyone has at least two
Of themselves
And I will keep looking
And you remind me so much of her
And the twirling and the rainbows and the wings
Lord, the wings that took her away from this place
Take me away with you
Help me find that little girl again.
