Parking Lot
Flight of Emotions: A Parking Lot Serenade
Lyrics
Waiting outside the club in a parking lot
Waiting outside a club in a parking lot
I watched some bird fly up and land on the rooftop
Observing a bird flying up and landing on the rooftop
Then up again into the sky
The bird ascends into the sky
In and out of sight
The bird appears and disappears
Then flying down again to land on the pavement
Flying down again to land on the pavement
It felt intimate to watch it
Feeling an intimate connection while observing the bird
Its small chest rising and falling
Noticing the small bird's chest rising and falling as it sings
As it sang the same song
The bird repeats the same song
Over and over and over and over again
The repetitive nature of the bird's song
Over the traffic and the noise
The bird's song overpowers the traffic and noise
Is it alright if I don't wanna sing tonight?
Expressing a reluctance to sing tonight
I know you are tired of seeing tears in my eyes
Acknowledging that others are tired of seeing tears
But are there not good reasons to cry?
Raising the question of whether there are valid reasons to cry
I swear I'm alright
Insisting that everything is alright
Maybe you could just let it slide
Suggesting the possibility of letting emotions pass
I confess I don't wanna undress this feeling
Admitting a reluctance to confront or reveal certain feelings
I am not poet enough to address this peeling
Feeling insufficient as a poet to articulate those emotions
Was I not yet naked enough?
Questioning if one was emotionally exposed enough
Too quick to blush, already I am too much
Acknowledging quick emotional reactions and self-perceived excess
Is it alright that I don't wanna sing tonight?
Reiterating a reluctance to sing tonight
I know you are tired of seeing tears in my eyes
Understanding others are tired of seeing tears
But everywhere we go there is an outside
Noting the omnipresence of an external world beyond immediate concerns
Over all of these ceilings hangs a sky
Reflecting on the vastness above every ceiling
And it kills me when I
Expressing emotional pain
You know it just kills me when I
Reiterating the emotional distress
You know it just kills me when I see some bird fly
The sight of a bird flying induces emotional pain
Know it just kills me, and I don't know why
The unexplained emotional impact of seeing a bird fly
