Hey little girl, are you looking
Are you looking for me?
Hey little girl, ‘'cause you’re looking
Like a picture that I used to be

The waters around you are rising
And you don’t know if you’ve got the fight
Just stop holding your breath
And find a soft place to rest
There’s nothing but bluebirds and rye

Hey baby girl, see I know the drill
Wearing your secrets and lies
Sometimes you feel like a shadow of me
Looking out through a new pair of eyes

The waters around you are rising
And you don’t know if you’ve got the fight
Just stop holding your breath
And find a soft place to rest
There’s nothing but bluebirds and rye

You build a world and the cracks show up everywhere
You fall in love and you find out they never cared
How much worse if you gave up and never dared to love

Hey little girl, it’s not far away
You will have your day to shine
Trust me now, it’s too hard to live
When really you’re just scared to die

The waters around you are rising
And you don’t know if you’ve got the fight
Just stop holding your breath
And come lay down your head
There’ll always be bluebirds
Always be bluebirds and rye
