About a Bird In an Airport Terminal Lyrics by I Draw Slow

I Draw Slow

2022

[Verse 1]
There’s a bullfinch
In the terminal
On the wrong side of the glass
I take my shoes off
At security
And I half-hope I don’t get past
‘Cause I’ve been tryin'
To get some distance
Between your world and mine
And it’s a path
Of some resistance
I’m not free just because I’m flyin'
[Chorus]
And I swore when I left you last time
It was the last time I’d ever leave
If I soared right out of the atmosphere
You’d still have a hold on me
I board when they call the number (I board when they call the number)
‘Cause I know where I need to be ('cause I know where I need to be)
If I change my mind I can always find you (if I change my mind I can always find you)
Left of the Devil, right of the deep, blue sea (left of the Devil, right of the deep, blue sea)
Right of the deep, blue sea (right of the deep, blue sea)
[Verse 2]
If I ever (there’s a bird in the terminal)
Take the low road (and he’s never getting out of here)
Well, I know I’ll meet you there (well, I know I'll meet you there)
And you’re gonna pull me (gotta make it the boarding gate)
Into the bathroom (past the guys at security)
I will trade that diamond stare (trade that diamond stare)
[Verse 3]
So, I check my pockets (gotta get a little distance)
For any evidence (gotta get away from company)
I want to leave without a trace (I wanna leave without a trace)
But the destination (I’m feeling the resistance)
It hardly matters (anywhere I ever run to)
I’m gonna find you in every place (I'm gonna find you in every place)
[Chorus]
And I swore when I left you last time
It was the last time I’d ever leave
If I soared right out of the atmosphere
You’d still have a hold on me
I board when they call the number (I board when they call the number)
‘Cause I know where I need to be ('cause I know where I need to be)
If I change my mind I can always find you (if I change my mind I can always find you)
Left of the Devil, right of the deep, blue sea (left of the Devil, right of the deep, blue sea)
Right of the deep, blue sea (right of the deep, blue sea)
[Chorus]
And I swore when I left you last time
It was the last time I’d ever leave
If I soared right out of the atmosphere
You’d still have a hold on me
I board when they call the number (I board when they call the number)
‘Cause I know where I need to be ('cause I know where I need to be)
If I change my mind I can always find you (if I change my mind I can always find you)
Left of the Devil, right of the deep, blue sea (left of the Devil, right of the deep, blue sea)
Right of the deep, blue sea (right of the deep, blue sea)
