Head North – Bluejay lyrics

[Verse 1]
Was a bluejay on the porch of the house I would sleep in
And she sang me songs so sweet
Now I’ve grown and the bird has flown years ago
So I stay awake and pray
One day she’ll sing and mend my everything

[Chorus]
And I said, “Please just come home
'Cause I want to feel whole again now
I’ll never say a word
Yeah, I want you to stay who I found in my head”

[Verse 2]
I gave her four walls for her to live in
Just so I could protect her from all that exists
And I could hear her as she was singing
But everyday it grew softer 'til I heard her whisper
“This is my only forever, and all I can taste is my life
And I was not meant to die here
When all that I dream is outside.”

[Chorus]
And I said, “Please just come home
'Cause I want to feel whole again now
I’ll never say a word
Yeah, I want you to stay who I found in my head”
And I am a coward
I know I should know that by now
But I’m scared to let go
Scared you kept me afloat and I’ll drown

[Bridge]
Co-depend
That bird has flown
I knew it would
If you couldn’t have her then nobody would
That bird has flown as well it should
If you couldn’t have her then nobody would
Nobody would, then nobody would

[Chorus]
Please just come home
'Cause I want to feel whole again now
I’ll never say a word
Yeah, I want you to stay who I found in my head
And I am a coward
I know I should know that by now
But I’m scared to let go
Scared you kept me afloat and I’ll drown
