[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
