lyrics

Bluebird lyrics by The Jeffrey James Show:

It’s coming up way too strong
Eyes start to burn
Choking on these lies
They say it isn’t true
Kinda hard to deny when your breathin’ it in
So many times we’ve tried
To get through this
Three days, One month
A hundred reasons to throw it all away
Throw it all away-e-ay-e-ayeay

Take me back to the old days, take me back to the heart
Take me back to the drum beat, take me back to the fi-i-iiire
You-hoo-hoo-o You-hoo-whoo-o - You-hoo-oo-o You-hoo-whoo (2X)

They only wanna to hear what’s good
So you get tired of explaining
Lose your friends
Deceive your kin
While you know, you’re running again
And the voices in your head start to win
But you don’t want to show this pain, this struggle
All those sleepless nights
Ter-ri-ble dreams
To those of you who feel like giving up
Know you’re not alone
We can push through this
Let’s push through

Take me back to the old days, take me back to the heart
Take me back to the drum beat, take me back to the fi-i-iiire
You-hoo-hoo-o You-hoo-whoo-o - You-hoo-oo-o You-hoo-whoo (2X)

Steppin’ up
Three thousand, nine hundred, ninety-two steps to heaven
Holy Breath
As the sun rises in this golden realm
You finally made it
Don’t forget to breathe
Don’t forget to celebrate
Who you are
Who you’ve become
Who you’ve be-come!

Take me back to the old days, take me back to the heart
Take me back to the drum beat, take me back to the fi-i-iiire
You-hoo-hoo-o You-hoo-whoo-o - You-hoo-oo-o You-hoo-whoo (2X)
