Birds letra

I don't want to drive a fancy car today
I don't wanna ride in a red corvette
I don't wanna jog my Saturday away
But I don't wanna go home yet

Today is not the day to jump out of a plane
I don't wanna parasail or play roulette
I don't wanna risk it all or go insane
But I don't wanna go home yet

I just wanna watch the birds go by
From my handy foldable blue canvas throne
I wanna watch them fly and fly
And see them soar up into the unknown
But I feel just like a nerd
Watching birds
Watching me here all alone

I don't wanna breakdance or learn taekwondo
I don't wanna fish till all the fish are gone
I don't wanna rollerskate even if it's slow
I don't wanna pass out in a marathon

I don't like soccer, baseball, track or field
I'm not up for a match of polo
I don't wanna seek or try to stay concealed
I'm also not up for waterpolo

I just wanna watch the birds up there
Track the migratory patterns that they've flown
I wanna watch them from my chair
With my binoculars, my latte, and my phone
Trying to spot a lark
In the park
Parked in nature all alone

Alone here with the doves
And the sparrows, and the ospreys
The owlets, the egrets, and my list

It's just me and Mr. Finch
The robins, the king fishers, the snipes
Though I heard they don't exist

Each little specie
In its little way can teach me what awaits you
If you can get away

I wanna watch
The birds do what they will
Sorry if I'm ornithologically prone
I wanna watch from somewhere undisturbing
Quiet, calm, still
Sit right here and gaze at the unknown

I don't wanna fly
In the sky
I just wanna be alone
(It's not a big deal, or anything)
I just wanna be alone
