pretty little owl, won't you be my gal fly up in my tree, won't you sit with me we'll stay up all night under the moonlight rest under my wing, listen to me sing what will we see, where will we be who knows, who knows why should i care, when you're sitting there i'm happy the who is you, happy the who is you wiggle down your branch, can i have this dance look in your big eyes, gosh you look so nice spin my head around, make my owl heart pound make my owl legs weak, kiss me on my owl beak

i put up a wall of feathers
so it's so easy for you to break it down i filled up a suitcase of nevers no longer a word now, never's just a sound i must like the pain of together much more than the fear of being apart sometimes i feel like a broken record over over again and again and again stop breaking my heart stop breaking my heart, stop breaking my heart oh, a wind will blow knock down our home feathers will fly, and i'll wonder why i never built with stone i put on my pi's and your sweater cause baby these days that's about as close as i get to you i think of the good days when things were better i think of the new ways that i could get through i put down my weapons and surrendor each new day beckons a clean slate and if i kept them i would just remember why it was i picked them up in the first place
