Birds Tricked into the Trees - Damien Jurado

It shouldn’t be a surprise

To know I was here all along

We’ve both saw the signs

Right before us

Handled my way through it well

We did all that we were told

Here’s where it gets so confusing

We are all leaving

It’s all about

Knowing when to say you’re wrong

To get it right all the time

Means it’s over

This wasn’t part of the plan

A major flaw in the design

Birds tricked into the trees

We’ve imagined

Once I was turning around

I missed the colors and sounds

Fade now into perfected

imperfection

And it’s all about

Knowing when to say you’re wrong

To get it right all the time

Means it’s over, yeah
