Blackbird Lyrics

Call me a thief
Of your heart
Call me anything
That you want
I'm over the sentiment
That was here
In this body of mine
Years ago

So give us the pieces
Give us the part
Put it together
Make a new start
Come out of the corners
Out of the dark
Light up a new one
Light up a new spark

And I could be happy
If I had a friend
Who loved all of me
All the way to the end
All the way from A to Z
When you're down and out
As low as you can be

Let's go out tonight
Put on something black
Go out for drinks
Take it all back
We'll take it real slow
We'll do it with care
When you're rebuildling lives
You gotta start somewhere

Like a blackbird singing
Around your head tonight
When you're out late
And you're walking around
Corners keeping you tight
And passengers sleeping
High above your head
On the aeroplane's journey
To the moon and back again

You play it so cool
But something's withheld
When you're riding with me
You got nothing to tell
Can see it in your eyes
See it in your sweat
On the count of three
You can let go of it
And sometimes I sleep
Through it all
Sometimes I break
Through the wall
Then I wake up
Tt starts again
The evil inside of my head

Like a blackbird singing
Around your head tonight
When you're out late
And you're walking around
Corners keeping you tight
And the passengers sleeping
High above your head
On the aeroplane's journey
To the moon, to the moon and back again

Like a blackbird, oh like a blackbird
Oh like a blackbird,
Blackbird, blackbird

These lyrics are completely wrong... I like the line "And passengers sleeping High above your head On the aeroplane's journey To the moon and back again". I reckon it gives a good perception on who else is out there and that the same things might be happening in their lives, and that you are not the only person.

I think the reference to the moon also talks about the interconnectedness of everyone. Because the moon is something that everyone in the world can see. Except if you live in Beijing, which is too polluted to see the sky. lololol!
