lyrics

Sometimes I want to be alone
Okay, that’s a lie
But sometimes you’ve gotta lie to keep yourself as your own
Find a place where you can go
I’m still learning to say no.

And she has got a hold on me
The kind of hold
where it’s hard to see the things you ought to see
Cause she’s so pretty and she knows
That I’m still learning to say no

Got a bird that whistles
Got a bird that sings
Got a bird, but that bird can’t sing me everything
Got a heart in a cage, and it burns every day
until she comes back home

So here I am, it’s twelve o’clock
Should I go home
or take a drive around that God-forsaken block?
From the party to her door
I try to separate the feeling from the one that I adore
Through this empty rain and snow
I think I’m learning to say no
I think I’m learning
