[Verse 1]
There's the thing with feathers that I put away for four years
From the cage it comes and stretches out its wings
When I'm feeling beaten down, I wish I'd never let it out
'Cause I can't help but hear the song it sings
[Chorus]
These things don't come cheap
It's easier to stay asleep
But I know I have to keep my heart wide open
Even when it's broken
[Verse 2]
There's the thing with feathers slowly waking after four years
It's always good to see you, my old friend
Blеary-eyed and breathlеss as you pull me from the wreckage
And you call me to the precipice again
[Chorus]
These things don't come cheap
It's easier to stay asleep
But I know I have to keep my heart wide open
Even when it's broken
[Bridge]
Wide, wide
Wide open
[Verse 3]
There's the thing with feathers, shaking off the dust of four years
It is restless like my mother, it is patient like my father
And I am their dreaming daughter, I will always tread this water
And you can't drown my sound beneath your fear
[Chorus]
These things don't come cheap
It's easier to stay asleep
But I know I have to keep my heart wide open
Wide open
[Outro]
Wide
