lyrics

There's a song on the radio
I can't tell if it's horrible
Or the most brilliant thing I've heard
Well, this time I decided I'd settle
For second instead of third

The chorus is angry
And the verses are shaming
Some old lover from before

There's a bridge in the middle
With a little optimism
And just a hint of unsettled scores

I don't know who sang it
And I don't care to name it
Because, Home is where I'm headed for
Yes, Home is where I'm headed for

And all of a sudden, all by itself, the dial starts to turn
And a voice it starts to rattle, I pulled over to hear it
A poem titled Bluebird
I didn't take a breath, I just sat and listened
To every gravel-road-like word
There's one inside us all, dying to get out
Just one little innocent bird

And when it was all over, the signal it cleared up
And a snare drum crack snapped me back with a stir
It was Jack Frost singing "How Does It Feel?"
Well Bob, I feel like I've never felt before

There's a song on the radio
I can't tell if it's horrible
Or the most brilliant thing I've heard
