Lyrics
I don’t want a bird
I have to keep in a cage
Don’t wanna have to clip its wings
To know it won’t fly away
I’ll never be your iron bars
Though I am the one home counting my scars
Day after day
Day after day
(Chorus)
Climbing this hill
And I know we will
Even though we had to stop
‘Fore we made it to the top
We’ve left behind
A simpler time
Grown up enough to know
That we don’t want to let it go
So darling just you do
Whatever you need to do
I’m not the one who, who
Wants to control you
Don’t you go blaming your guilty mind
On me because it’s not me this time
Not me this time
But you already knew
(Chorus)
Climbing this hill
And I know we will
Even though we had to stop
‘Fore we made it to the top
We’ve left behind
A simpler time
Grown up enough to know
That we don’t want to let it go
(Chorus)
Climbing this hill
And I know we will
Even though we had to stop
‘Fore we made it to the top
We’ve left behind
A simpler time
Grown up enough to know
That we don’t want to let it go
Climbing this hill
And I know we will
Even though we had to stop
‘Fore we made it to the top
We’ve left behind
A simpler time
Grown up enough to know
That we don’t want to let it go
