lyrics

Young canary flies and tells me things that I’ve learned well
Through sun and lemon skies canary’s wings leave pleasant smell
Though canary’s found a new home and new
Arms to run to but I’m still that someone

Who held canary in his arms
And time we spent was fun
My canary, vanilla cherry, she was sure to run

Young canary so frivolous and carefree
The forests in our hearts aflame
Until canary drove her car over heart
That’s 1000 pieces in my driveway

Canary will cry no tears for me
She’ll run away I can’t believe that

Canary doesn’t care about me
Together no more fun
I trusted her
I humored with laughter
I stupidly assumed she was the one

And even though she quit on me
You can’t blame a bird for things like these
She needs to look around some more
But one day she’ll fly back through that door

Canary pushed me out of the nest
Together no more fun
I spread my wings but fell to my death
She was sure to run
She was sure to run
