lyrics

If I was a bird, I'd be heading south.
But I am just a man, I got a hungry mouth.

And if I was a bird, I'd be heading south.
Flapping my arms so hard, I'm still on the ground.

I wrote a song with no beginning.
I left it up to you, you wrote the ending.

If I was a priest, I'd worship you.
But I am just a fool who's become unglued.

If I was a priest, I'd worship you.
I'm praying so hard, but my words aren't coming through.

I wrote a song with no beginning.
I left it up to you, you wrote the ending.

about

Matthew Squires Austin, Texas

I think, all things considered, the songs I write are much more listenable than the songs I don't write.
