Flightless Bird

This song was played in the TWILIGHT movie when Edward & Bella danced together at the school prom towards the end of the movie. It was a romantic song and it suits the set up well.

Listening to it makes me wanna slow dance too..mmmmmm...

The song definitely caught my interest and when I finally get hold of the mp3 and listen to it over and over again. Then, I start searching for the lyrics.

I went "OOhh???" after reading the lyrics. hahaha

I couldn't make out a single thing except "Have I found you" part..

I make my own interpretations of the lyrics as below :

I was a quick wet boy (I was who I was)

Diving too deep for coins (Always trying my best)

All of your street light eyes (People can’t help but look)

Wide on my plastic toys (In disbelief on what I possessed)

Then when the cops closed the fair (When it all ended)

I cut my long baby hair (I made my decision to start over)

Stole me a dog-eared map (Took my chances and went off)

And called for you everywhere (Searching for you)

Have I found you? (Are you mine yet?)

Flightless bird, jealous, weeping (Unable to do anything)

Or lost you? (Or have I let you slipped away?)

American mouth (Strings of curses?)

Big pill looming (Tearing up)

Now I'm a fat house cat (I’m such a slug)

Cursing my sore blunt tongue (Can’t even do much yet, am so pissed off)

Watching the warm poison rats (I saw my enemies)

Curl through the wide fence cracks (walk away right under my nose)

Kissing on magazine photos (Day Dreaming)

Those fishing lures thrown in the cold and clean (So many temptations)

Blood of Christ mountain stream (But I keep my hopes held high)

Have I found you? (Are you really mine yet?)

Flightless bird, jealous, weeping (Unable to do anything)

Or lost you? (Or have I let you slipped away?)

American mouth (Strings of curses?)

Big pill looming (Tearing up)

Listen to the song.
