Birds Ask For You
Tom Frager Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It seems like it will raise another day on his own
But you may be with him again
So maybe you'll be back
When it will come down
Birds Ask For You this morning
They wanna hear you sing
Together
Will you ever get
What you are looking for
Got no need to wait
For you to knock at my door
Could we make it through
All the things that you know
As long as I've got you
I've got a better tomorrow
Now I'm blind
Show me another way
Oh I wanna make you mine
Oh I wanna make you stay
Oh I wanna make you stay
Now I'm alone
And I wish that you come
To see me soon
I'm a fool and I stay
With you locking my head
And I talk with the moon
Birds Ask For You this morning
They wanna hear you sing
When can we be
Together
Will you ever get
What you are looking for
Got no need to wait
For you to knock at my door
Could we make it through
All the things that you know
As long as I've got you
I've got a better tomorrow
Now I'm blind
Show me another way
Oh I wanna make you mine
Oh I wanna make you stay
Oh I wanna make you stay
These lyrics, taken from Tom Frager's song "Birds Ask for You," convey a sense of yearning and vulnerability. The singer appears to be reckoning with the fact that someone they care about deeply has left them, and they are unsure if and when they will return. The song begins optimistically, with the singer observing the sunrise and hoping that the person they miss may return with it someday. However, as the song progresses, the tone becomes more desperate, with the singer pleading for the person's return and questioning whether they will ever find what they are looking for.
The chorus of the song centers around the image of birds asking for the person who has left. They "wanna hear you sing" and the singer longs to be reunited with them, asking "when can we be together?" The use of birds in this imagery is significant, as birds are often associated with freedom and flight. The singer may be expressing a desire to be liberated from their pain and reunited with the person who has flown away.
The final lines of the song express the singer's deep devotion to the person who has left, declaring "Oh I wanna make you mine, Oh I wanna make you stay." They are willing to wait for them and endure the pain of separation as long as they eventually return.
Overall, "Birds Ask for You" is a poignant reflection on the complexities of human relationships and the pain of separation.

Now I can see the sun from my bed
I have awoken and can see the sunrise
It seems like it will raise another day on his own
The world will continue to cycle even if I am not present
But you may be with him again
You have left me and could possibly return to your previous lover
So maybe you'll be back
There is some hope that you will return to me
When it will come down
When that decision is made
Birds Ask For You this morning
The birds are chirping and singing, and it reminds me of you
They wanna hear you sing
I wish to hear your voice again
When can we be Together
I long for the day when we can be together again
Will you ever get What you are looking for
Are you searching for something and will you ever find it?
Got no need to wait For you to knock at my door
I am not waiting for you, I am moving on
