"Birdsnest" lyrics

"Birdsnest"

So here's another story
A man walks into a bar
It's terrifying because he's trying something different
And he hasn't got very far

So he buys another Merlot
And then doesn't feel quite so bad
It's like he's finally stopped doubting his decision
To give up everything he had

Because he knows this
Is nothing to be afraid of
Because he chose this
Adventure for himself

And something good is
Just about to happen
He can feel it
A sea-change in the air
And if he falls short
It doesn't really matter
Because quite frankly
Tonight he doesn't care

So he puts away his mobile
He won't be calling her again
In fact, it's like the past just never happened
And it's kind of strange, but then

But then he knows this
Is nothing to be afraid of
Because he chose this
Adventure for himself
He knows this
Is nothing to be afraid of
Because he chose this
Adventure for himself

And something good is
Just about to happen
He can feel it
A sea-change in the air
And if he falls short
It doesn't really matter
Because quite frankly
Tonight he doesn't care
