Caged Like A Bird Sent away for the summer “Oh, that’s a bummer” Empty words of sympathy from friends Can’t change that on my heart is a drummer Smashing me to bits, I’m dumb and dumber To think it won’t hurt, no amount of texts I send Will unblock my throat, anyone here a plumber? Eyes glued to the screen, heart far away Dreaming at of them at night and crying all day No amount of calls or texts will change the fact That in California all of them will stay And I’m stuck here, how much I did pray Against me the odds are stacked I’m screaming on the inside but outside I say “yay” Stuck in a tiny apartment 24/7 Reaching out, hitting only the firewall Walls and windows, a match made in heaven Caging me like a bird, buildings stretching tall Time differences breaking me apart Caging me in like a bird, cutting me off They say every end is a new start I tell them I want to return, they just scoff I’m caged like a bird here
