Deer In The Headlights

I don’t know why
With everyone who tries
To leave themselves behind
And no one ever listens
What does it take you to?
What does it pull you through?
I had a friend who knew
But now he has gone missing
And it seems like
All the birds might
Hit the ground right
Before the ocean
And you traded your life
Like a deer in the headlights
They’re so beautiful and bright
You just start hoping
The last taxi kiss
With all its emptiness
And now you got your wish
But you know I’m gonna miss you
You say the greats have sailed
They’ve been hung up and nailed
They leave you pretty pale
Is that what you’re taking with you?
'Cause it seems like
All the birds might
Hit the ground right
Before the ocean
And you traded your life
Like a deer in the headlights
They’re so beautiful and bright
You just start hoping
That you’re on your way
To somewhere good
If it’s so painful
To be separated
From the part of you who is free
Why don’t you go it?
And if you travel alone
You’ll find more than your own
When you get there I know
That you will own it
'Cause it seems like
All the birds might
Hit the ground right
Before the ocean
And you traded your life
Like a deer in the headlights
They’re so beautiful and bright
You just start hoping
That you’re on your way
To somewhere good
That you’re on your way
To somewhere good
