"Take It Like A Man" lyrics

"Take It Like A Man"

Like a common loon
I started hearing birds
Birdsong everywhere
A lark in the shower
From the night to the morning after
Warblers and wrens
Hymn at my throat
Shook and quivering
I could have crowed
Woah, I could have crowed

I was snared by your wrist
I know what the cost is
The octaves of consequence
I know the cost of flight is landing

And I know I can take it like a man
I know I can take it like a man

Falls of fascinations
The sky was leaking light
Like your eyes do
That shipwrecked expression
I need more words for blue
Trilling in the tree
The way I measure you
Fractured thirteenths that grin that you give
When you want me to quit

Falling further and falcon swift
I know what the cost is
In the octaves of consequence
I know the cost of flight is landing

I know I can take it like a man
I know I can take it like a man
I know I can take it like a man

Falling further and falcon swift
I know what the cost is
In the octaves of consequence
I know the cost of flight is landing

And I know I can take it like a man
