You told me I was a view that only birds can see And you sat upon that piano in hopes it would impress me I've got a message for you from me Your little plan worked and I'm waiting for delivery I'll build you a piano in my bedroom I'll make you wings out of paper and glue And you can fly wherever you want to baby Up through that trap door to the tower I laid on rafters, wasting my hours Like you said, i'm an old wound I'm looking for a window to see through I'll trade a hundred of anything for you I've said it before but its never been true
I'm used to doing just what I want to You're always changing the maps you make me You told me you hate how clumsy I can be Yesterday I went back to that room Where you told me the secrets that you knew I stood on a table to get a better view Proceeded to tell myself lies about you Climb back up on your piano Up through that trap door to the tower I laid on rafters, wasting my hours I've been dusting off my old wounds But none measure up to the ones collected from you I used to get just what I wanted to
