If i was a bird, I would fly away
I don't know where, don't know when
All I know, I gotta get out of this place,
Before my mind fills up with anger and hate
You keep holding on to me every time I try to let go,
You keep holding on to me every time I try to leave,
You keep holding on to me every time I try to let go,
You keep holding on to me every time I try to leave,
If i was a bird, I would fly away
But I don't know if I'd see the day,
All I know, I gotta get out of this cage,
Before my mind fills up with anger and hate
You keep holding on to me every time I try to let go,
You keep holding on to me every time I try to leave,
You keep holding on to me every time I try to let go,
You keep holding on to me every time I try to leave,
Whoah, oh...
You keep holding on to me every time I try to let go,
You keep holding on to me every time I try to leave,
You keep holding on to me every time I try to let go,
You keep holding on to me every time I try to leave,

Hey, oh, yeah, oh, yeah, oh, yeah,
Say a wha- w- w- wa, say a wha- w- w- wa,
Why won't you listen to me?
I said, why won't you listen to me?
I said, why,
Why won't you listen?
And your lips fall open and you ask me something,
but you lost all your rhythm and you don't know how,
beating with the beats is the only way I'll be,
Gonna rock it to the sky, and down to the gang,
And i'll show you all the beautiful things that I find,
Cause i'm gonna grow up and be a man some day
But I do what I can and I do what I do,
And I do a na-na-na-na things back to you
But I'm never gonna be a man droping off
I'm never gonna be a man begging on my knees
and I'm never gonna do all the things that you ask,
cause i'm gonna grow up and be a man some day
why won't you listen to me?
i said, why, why,
why won't you listen to me?
So why won't you listen to me?
I say, Why?
Why won't you listen?
Why won't you listen to me?

If you want me, come and get me,
If you don't, then you don't
If you want me, come and get me,
If you don't, then you won't
If only if you want to, x5
Hold my breath, dive right in
Cause i'm going nowhere
If you love me, come and get me,
If you don;t then you don't
If only if you want to, x5
Hold my breath, dive right in
Cause i'm going nowhere x2
If only if you want to, x5
Cause, If you love me, come and get me,
If you don;t then you don't.

big Picture

If you'd seen what I see and I'd seen what you saw,
Then the problem in half would be a problem no more,
But that ain't the case,
Nothing seems to change,
From this misunderstanding where everyone's right
causing tempers ad tension, the future's not bright
But that ain't the case,
A simple mistake
Break this silence, let's leave this misery,
Break this silence, please don't break me.
Whoah, oh, whoah, oh,
Just hold on a minute and take a step back,
See the big picture,
Oh, oh, its time to relax now don't hold yourself back,
I really miss you.
It's a foregone conclusion that it's all my fault
kept the realisation in with some doubt,
but that ain't the case, nothing seems to break
Break this silence, let's leave this misery,
Break this silence, please don't break me.
Whoah, oh, whoah, oh,
Just hold on a minute take a step back,
See the big picture,
Oh, oh, its time to relax now don't hold yourself back,
I really miss you.
Just hold on a minute, as far as I know...
There's nothing in the way.
