Bluebird - Sara Bareilles

Word came through in a letter,

One of us changing our minds.

You won’t need to guess who

Since I usually do not send letters to me

That are mine

I told him I saw this coming,

That I’d practically packed up my things.

I was glad at the time that I said I was fine

But all honesty knows, I wasn’t ready, no

And so here we go bluebird,

Back to the sky on your own.

Oh, let him go bluebird,

Ready to fly,

You and I,

Here we go.

Here we go.

This pair of wings worn and rusted,

From too many years by my side.

They can carry me, swear to be,

Sturdy and strong but see,

Turning them on still means goodbye.

And so here we go bluebird,

Gather your strength and rise up.

Oh, let him go bluebird

Oh, let him go bluebird

Oh, let him go bluebird

Ready to fly,

You and I,

Here we go.

Here we go.

Here we go…
