Charlie Austen - Little Yellow Birds

Well it fell upon me like a 10 ton acme anvil
Had me crawling from a newly made impression in the ground
A few months down the line and tiny little yellow birds are still
Fluttering above in dizzy orbits all around
Well how do we get from here to there?
I've never been so happy, oh I'm so scared
Let's not grow up
Let's not play games that adults play
Before it ever gets to bitterness let's smile and walk away
Forget forever, let's just try to do this thing in our own way
Let's try to be a little better every day
Well I'd awoken from that dusty desert dreaming
Though I never saw the signs that I'd been sleep-walking before
Never recognised I'd had a void behind the eyes
Or how I used to drag my ragged little shoes across the floor
To think that I could still be there
But now I'm happy, oh I'm so scared
Let's not grow up
Let's not play games that adults play
Before it ever gets to bitterness let's smile and walk away
Forget forever, let's just try to do this thing in our own way
Let's try to be a little better every day
'Cause maybe tomorrow you'll be someone I don't know
Maybe life will flip us upside down or give us stones to throw
Let's never stoke the fire, or give it fuel to grow
And if it's time to go, let's say it's time to go
Let's not grow up
Let's not play games like adults play
Before it ever gets to bitterness let's smile and walk away
Forget forever, let's just try to do this thing in our own way
Let's try to be a little better every day
