Pasadena - Sawdust Lyrics

Mocking bird
Clear your pipes to sing
Belt out a song to signal Spring
A veil of yellow rain covers up everything
And it all looks different through your window pane
And if I guess, that budding iris
Didn't have no one to tell her what to do
Pretty soon the dogwood blooms will match the color of that room
And float away like all these minutes everyday

It's everything you built reduced to sawdust
A reminder that we're smaller than we think
The humble realization that this world moves on without us
And we'll miss the bigger picture if we blink

Just say the word
And I'll pack your things
You can't hold that baby in there one more week
I know the timing isn't great, but the universe don't wait
For you and I to fully understand the plan
And we'll still say, "happy birthday"
There's no canceling your trip around the sun
Pretty soon we'll fill the room and celebrate you with a tune
And raise a glass to one more year of kickin ass

It's everything you built reduced to sawdust
A reminder that we're smaller than we think
The humble realization that this world moves on without us
And we'll miss the bigger picture if we blink

Hold on to your loved ones tight
It's live and death not left or right
It's mental health and everyman for himself
It's the truth is in the middle
It's the little things we miss
It's one big crazy dream with liquor in between

It's everything you built reduced to sawdust
A reminder that we're smaller than we think
The humble realization that this world moves on without us
And we'll miss the bigger picture if we blink
And we'll miss the bigger picture if we blink
And we'll miss the bigger picture if we blink
