Josh Pyke Birdcage On The Faultline Lyrics

This is not a fickle song
About the way we lie and lie and lie
It takes a strong stitch not to come undone
With needles out we pick apart
The seams till all the filling comes tumbling out
And we try to catch what we paid for
We try to catch what we paid for

This is not a sorry song
About the way you cried and cried
And I did nothing more than take the high road for a while
And all these fallen leaves are crunching now
Underneath both of my shoes
Try not to break what we paid for
Try not to break what we paid for

You my love will never die
And all the things I said were true
But I don't mean them any more than you now
If I had my time again
Well I'd pin you flat and I'd clip your wings
And I'd keep you in a birdcage on the faultline

Keep your eyes awake
'Cos it's tricky how the night slides into day
Keep the money when it comes your way
I say, I say
Keep your eyes awake
'Cos it's tricky how the night slides into day
Keep the money when it comes your way
I say, I say, I say, I say

Who just took that photograph
Could think I'd like to get a copy for all of us
In that photograph
'Cos I've had such a great night
But I think I'd like some evidence
To remember what I just paid for
To remember what I just paid for You my love will never die
And all the things we said we true
But I don't mean them any more than you now
And if I had my time again
Well I'd pin you flat and I'd clip your wings
And I'd keep you in a birdcage on the faultine

But when those cracks they'd open up
And you'd finally be gone
And I would just turn my back
I would just turn my back
'Cos when those culminating thoughts
Grate on the imposing blades
I would just walk away
i would just walk away

You my love will never die
And these things I said were true
But I don't mean them any more than you now
And if I had my time again
Well I'd pin you flat and I'd clip your wings
And I'd keep you in a birdcage on the faultine

Just keep those eyes awake
'Cos it's tricky how the night slides into day
Keep the money when it comes your way
I say, I say
Keep your eyes awake
'Cos it's tricky how the night slides into day
Keep the money when it comes your way
I say, I say
Keep your eyes awake
'Cos it's tricky how the night slides into day
Keep the money when it comes your way
I say, I say
Keep your eyes awake
'Cos it's tricky how the night slides into day
Keep the money when it comes your way
I say, I say...
