A Bird of Paradise Lyrics by Daniel Champagne

Fault Lines

2017

[Verse 1]
I been thinking about the heights that we started from
And I been thinking about the nights that this heart went wrong
Trying to repaint every scene if we couldn't see it
Or re shape every dream if it was lost or we couldn't be it
Thinking all this time all this time, how'd I let her fall
Started weighing on my mind so I replayed it all
And darling maybe I was blind like a hurricane sweeping the heartland
Couldn't hold love the same as your heart can and
[Chorus]
I know we made mistakes, I know that people change
I know that change is the only thing keeping us sane
But I don't know what it takes, to set a heart alight
But she might be somewhere in the city tonight
[Verse 2] [Maggie Rutjens]
I been thinking how I never saw this love coming
Only got to watch it leave when you started running
Only knew that you were running when you slipped and fell
Only saw you were down cause I was fallen as well
And I been thinking all this time, when's he gonna call
Started weighing on my mind but I replayed it all
And darling maybe I was blind but at least I wasn't blind drunk trying to steel
Every dream that was never real
[Chorus]
I know we made mistakes, I know that people change
I know that change is the only thing keeping us sane
But I don't know what it takes, to set a heart alight
But she might be somewhere in the city tonight
(and you can run all night
But loves like a bird of paradise
Your never going to see it in the same place twice
Your never going to see it in the same face again)
Someday we're going to lose the fight
If I don't stop looking for some way to set this heart alight
(I'll be somewhere in the city if you need me
Lighting up wherever these nights lead me
And running from your past is never easy but you'll never break the same heart twice
Like you can't cage a bird of paradise)
