High Lyrics - Rainbirds

look at these 

dry leaves 

and crumbling blossoms 

old beat books 

stripped of the cover 

i feel delighted 

suddenly singing 

with a voice 

that is coming 

from out of the blue 

dark points in time 

follow after 

shy not shallow 

high not hollow 

a slightly off-beat 

pounding heart 

because it`s 

all over 

i need not to take cover 

nothing can break besides my soul - yeah 

i got it under control - yeah 

miles of tape in 

cardboard boxes 

millions of pages on 

gains and losses 

i feel spooky 

suddenly speaking 

with a voice 

that is coming 

from behind the shelf 

locked up inside is 

my happier self 

shy not shallow 

high not hollow 

a slightly off-beat 

pounding heart 

because it`s 

all over... 

bundled dreams and 

dusty gems 

imploring notes 

that strangers send: 

please me deeper 

love me sweeter 

hug me harder 

never let me go - I am 

shy not shallow 

high not hollow 

got a slightly off-beat 

pounding heart 

because it`s...
