This song is really nice to listen to.

I love this line, "You'll start drinking again I can see it now clear How you'll wake up every morning With a new bird in your cage." -Not too sure if it's about a friend or an ex, but either way, it sounds like a metaphor to having sex with different people, beause of te fact they got drunk. The "Bird" being the different people, the "Cage", being the bed.

I could be wrong haha.

A friend just sent this song to me over the weekend. I loved it for the vocals and their passion live in the woodlands videos. Then I started listening to the lyrics over and over again... uh0hmandy, those are my favorite string of lyrics, too. And I think you're dead on, I think it's about getting drunk and being promiscuous.
