Buried alive and about to burst
Why am I surprised when I'm so well rehearsed?
I'm getting tired and I'm dying of thirst
I keep turning the dial but the tape is stuck in reverse
It's taking a while and it's only getting worse
And I don't know where I fit in
I know how the story goes
I just don't know how it ends
This is all I've known and it's all I've ever done
I'm a bird on a wire, just like everyone
A bird on a wire and I'm tired of facing the sun
Leading the blind when the lines are blurred
On borrowed time living word to word
Sometimes it fine but sometimes it really hurts
It's okay if I want to run
Far away if I want to run
It's okay if I want to run
It's okay, it's okay, it's okay
And I don't know where I fit in
I know how the story goes
I just don't know how it ends
This is all I've known and it's all I've ever done
I'm a bird on a wire, just like everyone
A bird on a wire and I'm tired of facing the sun
It's okay if I want to run
Far away if I want to run
It's okay if I want to run
It's okay, it's okay, it's okay
It's all I've ever known
And all I've ever done
