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 confines 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 confines 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 confines 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
