lyrics

That bird outside my window has been keeping me awake
Confused by the street lights maybe - I don't know
But he's singing like the sun is already up above the rooftops
He's singing like he knows, it's a sin to be alone

He's out there sitting on a street sign
Making music for a warm night
And nothing bout my state of mind makes any sense at all
That's why I'm still awake at 2.00 am
Listening to the night bird sing

It was the kind of conversation I didn't want to have
You said something deep is happening here
I know you know it too
But you and I lead different lives, we saw things different ways
We were going different places, we had different points of view

I started looking out for red lights
Counting up the stop signs
And nothing bout the two of us made any sense at all
That's why I'm still awake at 2.00 am listening to the night bird sing


It's never all that hard to find the things you want to find
They're out there waiting for you, hiding in plain sight
It's an easy thing to put the seeds of doubt in your own mind
pull the thread and watch it all unwind

I took that job that I was offered
Bought a ticket got this room
Put some miles between us, put a line across my life
Tomorrow when the sun comes up I'll start a brand new day
But right now it's just another sleepless night

I started looking out for red lights
Counting up the stop signs
And nothing bout my state of mind makes any sense at all
That's why I'm still awake at 2.00 am listening to the night bird sing

I started looking out for red lights
Counting up the stop signs
And nothing but the two of us makes any sense at all
That's why I'm still awake at 2.00 am listening to the night bird sing
