lyrics

Up in my bedroom
With all of these songs in my head
I can picture the stadium cheering

Like someone's arrived
And then stadium turns to a bird's nest
The swallows they fly away into the forest

My thoughts are the swallows
The feathers are falling
My thoughts they can't get off the ground

They are weighted by morningtime
Weighted by 'fraidy-cat
May be a witch but I'm scared of so many things
(Whoa whoa whoa)
Scared of so many things...

Bedroom, I'm trapped inside my bedroom
Dreaming, I dream of what to do
City, all I see is gritty city
Dreaming of rooms with other views

Once in awhile
I see out the window
The willows are weeping for my broken heart

And the poplars are trying to tell me a secret
But I cannot hear it
I'm deaf to the universe

Faulty machinery
I am not right inside
Mother and Father they should have returned me

I'm meant to be magical
Meant to be musical
May be a witch, but I'm scared of so many things
(Whoa whoa whoa) I'm scared of so many things...

Bedroom, I'm trapped inside my bedroom
Dreaming, I dream of what to do
City, all I see is gritty city
Dreaming of rooms with other views
