A song that ended up in an entirely different place than from where it began. It was meant to have a dark 'David Gray' kind of feel, but ended up being the love child of The Lightning Seeds and Stars on 45.
lyrics
Drop me into the ocean
Wait awhile till the commotion settles down
And we'll swim to town
And if a pretty girl
And if a pretty girl is like (is like) a melody
At my funeral would you sing for me
Little bird
Your smile is like a snowflake
Shiny as a dime
Different every time
And my heart
Will never be a polar bear
Thought that I was strong
Never been so wrong
Lead me into the station
Let go of your frustration say hello
And don't let go
Draw me into your warm heart
The city shines and tears us apart it's quiet here
If we concentrate we can disappear
Little bird
Your smile is like a snowflake
Falls all over town
Never sticks around
My heart
Will never be a polar bear
Harder than a stone
Cold and all alone
Little bird
Your smile is like a snowflake
Shiny as a dime
Different every time
And my heart
Will never be a polar bear
Thought that I was strong
Never been so wrong
