Verse 1	Across the lake and under a tree, that's where she lay There's no clouds in the sky and just the slightest breeze, blowing through this warm day
Chorus	Birds flying by, out from my sight but not out from my mind and I will not lie to you even if you're so far away
Bridge 1	So this is what I wanted and this is what I get I try to keep my face smiling, through all my regrets And it might show that I wasn't happy And I wanted to run away, I'll stay
Verse 2	I took to me feet, picked up my shoes, tied my shirt around my waist And I walked barefoot, the grass between my toes, thinking this is OK
Chorus	Birds flying by, out from my sight but not out from my mind and I will not lie to you even if you're so far away
Bridge 2	This is not what I wanted it to be Not just like everyone else, things just seem so clear to me I will remember to only save your kisses But now it doesn't look like I'm going to get it
Bridge 1	So this is what I wanted and this is what I get I try to keep my face smiling, through all my regrets And it might show that I wasn't happy And I wanted to run away, I'll stay
	So this is what I wanted and this is what I get I try to keep my face smiling, through all my regrets And it might show that I wasn't happy And I wanted to run away, I'll stay
Chorus	Birds flying by, out from my sight but not from out my mind and I will not lie to you even if you're so far away
