Starlings & Endings Lyrics

Watching starlings on September evenings from your balcony

A black cloud with no silver lining mirrors the one in me

They move in perfect patterns at the center, seeming still

Singing holy praises as they go in for the kill

Twenty-three years young and I have never felt so old

Stoic in my suffering but I still can't check my phone

This pain that I create, I can't relate to anyone

Narrative confusion, no conclusion except for one

To watch the starlings on September evenings from your balcony

Wondering if they'd mind if I came crashing through the trees

They'd move in perfect patterns and at the center it'd be so still

Singing holy praises as I'd let them have their fill

Watching starlings on September evenings from your balcony

A black cloud with no silver lining just like the one in me

Wander home up the Grace street

Between the rain it's green and brown

Might not be here when the leaves are done changing

Try to take it all in

I can feel the it coming

And ending in every empty room

Gonna miss it all so much

You can never say goodbye too soon

Never say goodbye too soon

My brother's having a baby

Hope they can hold up our mom

Remember no amount of love can save us

Chosen by natural law

I can feel it coming

An ending in every empty room

Gonna miss it all so much

You can never say goodbye too soon

Never say goodbye to too soon
