Repat those two during the first and last solos.

Lyrics:

Scar tissue that I wish you saw 
Sarcastic mister know it all 
Close your eyes and Ill kiss you cause 
With the birds Ill share 
With the birds Ill share 
This lonely view 
With the birds Ill share 
This lonely view 
Push me up against the wall 
Young Kentucky girl in a push-up bra 
Fallin all over myself 
To lick your heart and taste your health cause 
With the birds Ill share 
This lonely view... 

Blood loss in a bathroom stall 
Southern girl with a scarlet drawl 
Wave good-bye to ma and pa cause 
With the birds Ill share 
With the birds Ill share 
This lonely view 
With the birds Ill share 
This lonely view 

Soft spoken with a broken jaw 
Step outside but not to brawl 
Autumns sweet we call it fall 
Ill make it to the moon if I have to crawl and 
With the birds Ill share 
This lonely view... 

Scar tissue that I wish you saw 
Sarcastic mister know it all 
Close your eyes and Ill kiss you cause 
With the birds Ill share 
With the birds Ill share 
This lonely view 
With the birds Ill share 
This lonely view...
