Singing Blackbird Lyrics by Adam Newling

2022

[Verse 1]
If you were a river, you'd run like hell
I whisper you my secret and I know you'd never tell
You're safe like a house with no front door
I open up a window and I only feel the cold
Yes, I saw the cover of a big old book
Over in the corner and you never pick it up
Red wine ran in your mother's blood
How you gonna show me that she taught you 'bout love?
[Chorus]
And I've been chasing all things backwards
I've been making more bad habits
I can't keep meeting you here in silence
If we go right now, they're singing blackbirds
[Verse 2]
If I was a tiger, I'd change my stripes
Leave 'em at the door and I'll run off in the night
Bury all my money in my old backyard
Next to where our dog and the agapanthus
I saw it coming like a big old train
Coming off it's tracks and I know who I could blame
Is that black smoke heavy in your mother's lungs
How you gonna show me that she taught you 'bout love?
[Chorus]
And I've been chasing all things backwards
I've been making more bad habits
I can't keep meeting you here in silence
If we go right now, they're singing blackbirds
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
And I've been chasing all things backwards
I've been making more bad habits
I can't keep meeting you here in silence
If we go right now, they're singing blackbirds
And I've been chasing all things backwards
I've been making more bad habits
I can't keep meeting you here in silence
If we go right now, they're singing blackbirds
I've been chasing all things backwards
I've been making more bad, bad habits
I can't keep meeting you here in silence
If we go right now, they're singing blackbirds
