My eyes were taken by mountains about a year ago today
When I seen where the birds were going and I followed them that way
My feet were close behind them as they're taken to the sky
I seen the birds in formation and I asked myself why
Why, why, why oh why
Do the birds fly in formation as they tumble through the sky
And I said why, why oh why
Do the birds in the sky
Break the clouds together and then fall down and die
Them sunny peaks redden my cheeks as I'm treading through the grass
I look upon those birds and then I fall back on my ass
I tried and tried oh not to cry as the birds left the view
So I searched through my mind for all them thoughts I had of you
And I said why, why, why oh why
Do the birds fly in formation as they tumble through the sky
And I said why, why oh why
Do the birds in the sky
Break the clouds together and then fall down and die
Trek with me together, we'll find their point of view
Cause I gotta think of other birds when I can't think of you
So spread your wings and fly away with me one last time
Cause the birds aren't anymore with me and you're no longer mine
Why, why, why oh why
Do the birds fly in formation as they tumble through the sky
And I said why, why oh why
Do the birds in the sky
Break the clouds together and then fall down and die
Why did they fall down and die
Why did they fall down and die
Those birds in the sky
Why did they fall down and die
Why did they fall down and die
