Heart in a Cage - Chris Thile

Well, I don’t feel better when I’m fucking around

And I don’t write better when I’m stuck in the ground

So don’t teach me a lesson 'cause I’ve already learned

Yeah, the sun will be shining and my children will burn

Oh, the heart beats in its cage

I don’t want what you want, I don’t feel what you feel

See, I’m stuck in a city but I belong in a field

Yeah, we got left, left, left, left, left, left, left

Now it’s three in the morning and you’re eating alone

Oh, the heart beats in its cage

All our friends, they’re laughing at us

All of those you loved, you mistrust

Help me, I’m just not quite myself

Look around, there’s no one else left

I went to the concert and I fought through the crowd

Guess I got too excited when I thought you were around

Oh, he gets left, left, left, left, left, left, left

And I’m sorry you were thinking I would steal your fire

Oh, the heart beats in its cage

Yes, the heart beats in its cage

And the heart beats in its cage
