[Verse]
G                                                         C
When I checked back in I was a fool and I was kissing underneath the storm of birds
                                    G
They would fly right at us and then swerve
                      D7
As if trying to act out words
    G
She called it a bad omen after I had named it lucky
    C
we began to drift from there
                                       G
And that used to be a secret kept with care
                        D7
‘Till i started writing songs
    G
And once that one had ended I was sad but empathetic
       C
And it rolled around my head
                 G
Like a cartoon chase that never ends
                               D7
Where no one gets to catch the mouse

[Chorus]
      G
Sings restless, restless springs
       D7
I’m in love with too many things
               C
You'll have to find me a bigger heart
        G       D7
a bigger heart

[Verse]
G
When I looked back up
                                           C
oh i was standing at the border with the sea air in my face
                  G
Straining for horizons far away
                       D7
As it was dark as any night
           G
And with the cold wind blowin' inlands

That's when I heard the water talking
      C                                        G
say "infinity is fine, as long as you let the rest of it be mine
                    D7
between a rattle and a sigh"
           G
Though the party always beacons
There's a bonfire for warming
           C
There's a flicker in her eye
                     G
If I can only find the words to fit your stride
            D7
To make that flower bloom
           G
Though some evenings are for dancing
Others for blowing candles
        C
Wish I knew which was which kind
        G
Wish I knew which was which kind
        D7
Wish I knew

[Verse]
G
When I checked back in
I was a fool and I was kissing
    C
Underneath the storm of birds
                     G
And it became a city on the run
                     D7
It'd changed before my eyes
                 G
Sometimes it gets quiet
                    C
The kind you can't wish away
                               G
And I'm convinced it'll be the death of me
                D7
The death of me someday
G
When I checked back in I was a fool and I was kissing
G
underneath the storm of birds
