The stories you've been writing are what you'd expect Other people want to hear, isn't that right? Where is that song I know that you can sing? Paralyzed by what hasn't happened yet. Love is gonna set you free A lion yes he needs a mane but a bird needs a nest I want to hear that song so just give up enough White lies and tight lips are a kiss of loneliness Hold fast, hold tightly but give your love Love is gonna set you free A lion yes he needs a mane but a bird needs a nest I want to hear that song so just give up enough I can't say that I've given up enough From my shaky hands like tree trunks If you stay long I swear I'll give it up I keep a white lie like a steam punk A heart needs all your blood But a heart needs some give A lion yes he needs a mane but a bird needs a nest I want to hear that song so just give up enough A lion, oh a lion, oh oh oh oh
