[Verse 1] Stranger than mindness The exile of night The slow steady turning Of that lonely flight I gotta get up face the morning Sweet daylight again Surrender to knowing My faded to pretend [Chorus] Could it be Could it be Could it be That we are always somewhat close to breaking Could it be Could it be Could it be That we're the birds in the cage, just masquerading Oh, no body knows the way that I've been hurting Could it be Could it be Could it be That we are sitting up against at the same old And that is crazy, no no [Verse 2]
A stranger in silence The air's out of breath Slow rise and falling On my beating chest Everything not such a bad thing And who's gonna know The way I taught you As I let you go As I let you go [Chorus] Could it be Could it be Could it be That we are always somewhat close to breaking Could it be Could it be Could it be That we're the birds in the cage, just masquerading Oh, no body knows the way that I've been hurting Could it be Could it be Could it be That we are sitting up against at the same old And that is crazy, no no
