[Verse]
There was a bird that lived in a busy yellow house
That bird was grey and all he talked about
One day he dressed the bird in a red coat
The bird he gleamed, he felt he’d rule the world
[Chorus]
Higher than the sky now
You can’t see me cry now
Trying to be happy with what I have become
Look around the bend now
You can’t see me pretend now
Trying to make you happy
No matter what the cost
[Verse]
The bird he loved the boy but was told to want much morе
The world outside called his namе so he flew right out the door
He flew, he soared, he marveled in his coat
The bird, he gleamed, he felt he’d rule the world
[Chorus]
Flying, higher than the sky now
You can’t see me cry now
Trying to be happy with what I have become
Look around the bend now
You can’t see me pretend now
Trying to make you happy
No matter what the cost
[Bridge]
But when the boy returned, the bird was not in sight
He called out its name, till he choked up inside
He found the bird lying with a phone upon the ground
Filled with memories of the coat, the coat that made him drown
[Chorus]
Flying, higher than the sky now
You can’t see me cry now
Trying to be happy with what I have become
Look around the bend now
You can’t see me pretend now
Trying to make you happy
No matter what the cost
There was a bird that lived in a busy yellow house
That bird was grey and all he talked about
One day he dressed the bird in a red coat
The bird he gleamed, he felt he’d rule the world
[Chorus]
Higher than the sky now
You can’t see me cry now
Trying to be happy with what I have become
Look around the bend now
You can’t see me pretend now
Trying to make you happy
No matter what the cost
[Verse]
The bird he loved the boy but was told to want much morе
The world outside called his namе so he flew right out the door
He flew, he soared, he marveled in his coat
The bird, he gleamed, he felt he’d rule the world
[Chorus]
Flying, higher than the sky now
You can’t see me cry now
Trying to be happy with what I have become
Look around the bend now
You can’t see me pretend now
Trying to make you happy
No matter what the cost
[Bridge]
But when the boy returned, the bird was not in sight
He called out its name, till he choked up inside
He found the bird lying with a phone upon the ground
Filled with memories of the coat, the coat that made him drown
[Chorus]
Flying, higher than the sky now
You can’t see me cry now
Trying to be happy with what I have become
Look around the bend now
You can’t see me pretend now
Trying to make you happy
No matter what the cost
