Jailbirds lyrics
by Cold War Kids
[Verse 1]
The sun is rising so late, it's early
I have spread myself too thin again
The guest of honor at my guilty party
Me and this silence have become old friends
[Chorus]
Father make believe for your daughters
Mother take it easy on your sons
Sister balance like a tightrope walker
But for now you've got to keep them young
[Verse 2]
My solitude it makes me softer
My suffering is not in vain
My depression sings, "how much longer
Will I have to wait to see a world free from pain?"
[Chorus]
Father make believe for your daughters
Mother take it easy on your sons
Sister balance like a tightrope walker
But for now you've got to keep them young
[Break]
[Chorus]
Father make believe for your daughters
Mother take it easy on your sons
Sister balance like a tightrope walker
But for now you've got to keep them young
Father make believe for your daughters
Mother take it easy on your sons
Sister balance like a tightrope walker
But for now you've got to keep them young
