lyrics

Well you seem so angry while looking at me through those thin metal bars.
And ruffling feathers so literally Is not the fate of these stars.

Cause your so good at listening
You('ve) got such a great ear.
You're so good at listening, so listen to me.
Don't put the birdcage back on.
Don't put the birdcage back on.

And flavor Ice only has limited flavors but some things never get old.
While screwing around at four in the morning could be the end of us all.

Cause your so good at listening
You('ve) got such a great ear.
You're so good at listening, so listen to me.
Don't put the birdcage back on.
Don't put the birdcage back on.

But i swear I would't change it at all.
Isn't that what friends are for.
So take your time. But let me please remind.
That Angry birds only fly so far.

And yes I appreciate it when you push me.
And I want to hear you out.
Were birds of a feather. Unsung together.
Somethings holding us back.
And you've come such a long way.
Your not a phony or a fake.
But I will remind you as you hesitate
Don't put the birdcage back on
Don't put the birdcage back on.

But i swear I would't change it at all.
Isn't that what friends are for.
So take your time. But let me please remind.
That Angry birds only fly so far.

Cause your so good at listening
You('ve) got such a great ear.
You're so good at listening, so listen to me.
Don't put the birdcage back,
Don't put the birdcage back,
Don't put the birdcage back on.
