lyrics

See that sparrow falling from the sky
Shot at by arrows from time to time
It's so easy for someone like me to not even try
It's so easy for someone like me
To say hello to you but easier for goodbye

Well, my interpretation of signs is skewed
And often misaligned with everything that's considered right
Misinformation, miscommunication, all relating to intra-group relations
All of these, they go side by side

And I don't even know of proximity or courtship roles
A look, a glance, a word, they all grab at me so playfully
Stay to play, embrace my curiosities, romantic fees
So I strategize to lose my fight and regret in hindsight

See that sparrow falling from the sky
Shot at by arrows from time to time
It's so easy for someone like me to not even try
It's so easy for someone like me
To say hello to you but easier for goodbye

My body stiffens, my mind deletes the entire hard drive
A duck, I'm just sitting here waiting to get fried
And all the while I can sense the impatience in me
But in the end, I'll just take it and leave

And I don't even know of proximity or courtship roles
So I strategize to lose my fight and regret in hindsight

See that sparrow falling from the sky
Shot at by arrows from time to time
It's so easy for someone like me to not even try
It's so easy for someone like me
To say hello to you but easier for goodbye
