It doesn't mean I like you any less
You fly around, no one sees 'cause you're too common for us to need

It doesn't mean I like you any less
You fly around, no one sees 'cause you're too common for us to need
Hey, sparrow, do you think just because you're nothing special?
You fly around, no one sees 'cause you're too common for us to need
Hey, sparrow, do you think just because you're nothing special?
It doesn't mean I like you any less
You fly around, no one sees 'cause you're too common for us to need

This reminds me so much of my childhood. Even the lighting and how the sun looks. A little vegetarian out in the orchards while the hot sun beamed through the trees casting a gorgeous glow.
