[Verse 1]

Like a common loon

I started hearing birds

Birdsong everywhere

A lark in the shower

From the night to the morning after

Warblers and wrens

Hymn at my throat

Shook and quivering

I could have crowed

Woah, I could have crowed

[Pre-Chorus]

I was snared by your wrist

I know what the cost is

The octaves of consequence

I know the cost of flight is landing

[Refrain]

And I know I can take it like a man

I know I can take it like a man

[Verse 2]

Falls of fascinations

The sky was leaking light

Like your eyes do

That shipwrecked expression

I need more words for blue

Trilling in thе tree

The way I measure you

Fracturеd thirteenths that grin that you give

When you want me to quit

[Pre-Chorus ]

Falling further and falcon swift

I know what the cost is

In the octaves of consequence

I know the cost of flight is landing

[Chorus]

I know I can take it like a man

I know I can take it like a man

I know I can take it like a man

[Instrumental Break]

[Pre-Chorus ]

Falling further and falcon swift

I know what the cost is

In the octaves of consequence

I know the cost of flight is landing

[Outro]

And I know I can take it like a man
