Sawdust Lyrics

Mocking bird

Clear your pipes to sing

Belt out a song to signal Spring

A veil of yellow rain covers up everything

And it all looks different through your window pane

And if I guess, that budding iris

Didn't have no one to tell her what to do

Pretty soon the dogwood blooms will match the color of that room

And float away like all these minutes everyday

It's everything you built reduced to sawdust

A reminder that we're smaller than we think

The humble realization that this world moves on without us

And we'll miss the bigger picture if we blink

Just say the word

and I'll pack your things

You can't hold that baby in there one more week

I know the timing isn't great, but the universe don't wait

For you and I to fully understand the plan

And we'll still say, "happy birthday"

There's no canceling your trip around the sun

Pretty soon we'll fill the room and celebrate you with a tune

and raise a glass to one more year of kickin ass

It's everything you built reduced to sawdust

A reminder that we're smaller than we think

The humble realization that this world moves on without us

And we'll miss the bigger picture if we blink

Hold on to your loved ones tight

It's live and death not left or right

It's mental health and everyman for himself

It's the truth is in the middle

It's the little things we miss

It's one big crazy dream with liquor in between

It's everything you built reduced to sawdust

A reminder that we're smaller than we think

The humble realization that this world moves on without us

And we'll miss the bigger picture if we blink

And we'll miss the bigger picture if we blink

And we'll miss the bigger picture if we blink
