I saw specks in the sky
as I watched you breathing
in the eyes of my mind

and I took out my soul
because
my soul blends in with the sky
wrapped it delicate in my fingers
tried to paint over
the specks
up high

but
the sparrows, they fly
we all wish we can be
but I do fear
we'll never be as free

The specks edged closer

they grew their wings

as I watched you sleeping

across silent telephone lines

and hour-long traffic jams

but I kept my soul

looked far away

because

I knew

during the day

that

the sparrows

they fly

we all wish we can be

but I do fear

they'll never be 

as lonely

as me

I got tired

of watching you breathe

of watching you sleep

in the eyes of my mind

across silent telephone lines

and hour-long traffic jams

through broken reflections 

in shattered mirrors

I longed for you in my arms

so 

I turned to the specks

the specks

thrived into sparrows

but 

the sparrows

they fly away

like everyone

with whom

I spent my days

so

I turned to loneliness 

to keep me company

cause I knew

the sparrows

they 'll never be

as detached from you 

as me
