Thinly veiled...
YELLOW BIRD
Yellow bird
I hear you don't like your cage
You tried to pretend it away
Told me you were free to play
Yellow bird
You sang with such joy in your throat
I paused just to savor each note
And I could recite them by rote
The illusion of your openness
And your eagerness to please
Appealed so to a blue sky like me
Yellow bird
Your voice was so sweet
I was ready to sway to your beat
Yellow bird
I hoped you could be
My yellow bird
My yellow bird
Yellow bird
You didn't mean me any harm
Your cage doesn't have an alarm
You thought you could land on my arm
I was spellbound by your song
Until you sang to me your truth
I shouldn't trust a yellow bird like you
Yellow bird
Your voice was so sweet
I was ready to sway to your beat
Yellow bird
I hoped you could be
My yellow bird
My yellow bird
You chose your cage
Long before you met me
So you're not happy
It's your choice to leave
Yellow bird
Your voice was so sweet
I was ready to sway to your beat
Yellow bird
I hoped you could be
My yellow bird
My yellow bird
Yellow bird
You never wanted to lie
You just craved a taste of the sky
Yellow bird
Your voice was so sweet
I was ready to sway to your beat
Yellow bird
I hoped you could be
My yellow bird
My yellow bird
