3 AM Wide awake again And you come to me Though you never leave Wrapped in lace, paper crown Wonder of you still Have you found firm ground? When caged birds get to sing Does anybody get to hear them when they do? When caged birds get to fly Does anybody ever question why? Sometimes when I'm awake at night I think about it The story of you Sometimes when I'm awake at night I think about it The things that we lose too soon Too soon Too soon Ooh, I think about the things that we lose too soon 4 AM So we talk again Slipped your heart in these hands Broken soul, hallowed land So long alone, our shadows cast in stone Every version of you The ones I'm told, the ones I knew When caged birds get to sing Does anybody get to hear them when they do? When caged birds get to fly Does anybody ever question why? Sometimes when I'm awake at night I think about it The story of you Sometimes when I'm awake at night I think about it The things that we lose too soon Too soon Too soon Like you I think about the things that we lose too soon
