I don't wanna drive a fancy car today I don't wanna ride in a red corvette I don't wanna jog my Saturday away But I don't wanna go home yet Today is not the day to jump out of a plane I don't wanna parasail or play roulette I don't wanna risk it all or go insane But I don't wanna go home yet I just want to watch the birds go by from my handy foldable blue canvas throne I wanna watch them fly and fly And see them soar up into the unknown But I'd feel just like a nerd, watching birds, watching me here all alone I don't wanna break dance or learn tai Kwon do I don't wanna fish till all the fish are gone I don't wanna roller skate even if it's slow I don't wanna pass out in a marathon I don't like soccer, baseball track or field I'm not up for a match of polo I don't wanna seek or try to stay concealed I'm also not up for... water polo I just wanna watch the birds up there Track the migratory patterns that they flow I wanna watch them from my chair With my binoculars, my latte and my phone Trying to spot a lark in the park parked in nature all alone Alone here with the doves and the sparrows and the ospreys, the owlets, the eagles and my list It's just me and mr finch, the robins, the kingfishers, the snipes, though I heard they don't exist Each little species and it's little way can teach me what awaits you if you can get away I wanna watch the birds do what they will Sorry if I'm ornithologically prone I wanna watch from somewhere undisturbing, quiet calm still Sit right here and gaze at the unknown I don't wanna fly in the sky, I just wanna be alone. I just wanna be alone
2 am 5/28/17.. My parakeet collapsed in his cage.. I held him for an hour before he looked at me.. His little eyes filled with acceptance. He looked at the sky and went limp.. i miss him..
Mae Gay, it sounds like you really cared about your bird, and I'm sorry you had to lose something you loved a lot. I'm sorry it hurts, but it'll be okay. He's safe up in heaven, and some day you'll get to see him again. And if you're not religious, that's okay. You still have the nice memories of you and your bird to hold on to 🙂
I know this was posted a year ago both my God I'm so sorry. That was really sad to read but he is better now and hopefully you have healed from this and if you haven't, that's ok. Some scars never heal
i’m glad to hear that, not that ur depressed oh gosh no but the fact you have somewhere to come to calm down, if you need to talk my dms are always open on twit: @tristanegbert
+doddleaudio Oh my goodness! *screams* Hey, Mom! Guess what! I got marrieeed!!! But really, I love this song so much, thank you! You are a precious human being and you are making the world a better place with each your song
I relate to this song soooo much. I just want to be alone on a balcony and watch the birds soar through the grey sky with a sketchbook, coffee and a pencil case. All alone and nothing more.
This is the greenest song I've ever heard. Also the musical embodiment of the word great. Not like in a this song is great way in a the song gives me the same feeling as the word great gives me
I hope someday I can meet Thomas after I've been on T for a while and have had my top surgery, just so I can finally tell him he's the reason I lived long enough to get those things. 😌
I'm like in love 😍❤💕💗with Thomas I dont know how he's always single. He's like the greatest human ever and his vlogs make everyone happy and more confident.
+Nicole Riply i think the reason why humans we think are so amazing that boggles us as to how they aren't in a relationship is because they're dealing with things of their own, possibly insecurity or other things that would prevent them from being in relationships, because trust meeee thomas has men women and non-binary humans all lined up at his door
apparently people are still commenting on this video, so I will too! i have a Japanese test in 20 minutes and i'm really really anxious for it, and this is my go-to calm song. i usually sing it to myself if i need to make my brain go quiet, or calm my breathing, but today i wanted to listen to thomas and dodie's lovely voices. im really grateful to this song :D
This should be on a try not to laugh, sing or smile challenge- it is quite literally impossible. :) Also, is it getting hot in here? (Cuz this song is lit. XD)
A music company should seriously think about hiring you and Thomas. This song can make the worst day instantly better with each repeat. :) *Virtual Awesome Highfive* You just sound epic together. :3
Why do interpret this as an introverted person who sees everyone around them as birds (cause they feel indifferent or a different kind from the rest of the world) So in a way the birds they point out are different people with different lives. Some in flocks, other soaring high and some uniquely special on their own. And they just observe them from afar learning yet never interfering cause they don't want to disturb their peaceful life all alone.
Please can we make this the global anthem of introverts.
+Megan Edwards honestly though
I demand this.
IT IS DONE. This is now the Global Anthem of Introverts
Anthem implies a connectivity that introverts don't really have.
I agree.
**quietly swaying to the beat** **hears thomas** **hears you both** **starts tearing up**
+I Write Phanfictiøn Nøt Tragedies HAHAH SAME
i write phanfictiøn nøt tragedies LITERALLY MY LIFE WHENEVER I HEAR THIS
Me! They sound so lovely together, i wish they'd sing more songs together
I don't wanna drive a fancy car today
I don't wanna ride in a red corvette
I don't wanna jog my Saturday away
But I don't wanna go home yet
Today is not the day to jump out of a plane
I don't wanna parasail or play roulette
I don't wanna risk it all or go insane
But I don't wanna go home yet
I just want to watch the birds go by
from my handy foldable blue canvas throne
I wanna watch them fly and fly
And see them soar up into the unknown
But I'd feel just like a nerd, watching birds, watching me here all alone
I don't wanna break dance or learn tai Kwon do
I don't wanna fish till all the fish are gone
I don't wanna roller skate even if it's slow
I don't wanna pass out in a marathon
I don't like soccer, baseball track or field
I'm not up for a match of polo
I don't wanna seek or try to stay concealed
I'm also not up for... water polo
I just wanna watch the birds up there
Track the migratory patterns that they flow
I wanna watch them from my chair
With my binoculars, my latte and my phone
Trying to spot a lark in the park parked in nature all alone
Alone here with the doves and the sparrows and the ospreys, the owlets, the eagles and my list
It's just me and mr finch, the robins, the kingfishers, the snipes, though I heard they don't exist
Each little species and it's little way can teach me what awaits you if you can get away
I wanna watch the birds do what they will
Sorry if I'm ornithologically prone
I wanna watch from somewhere undisturbing, quiet calm still
Sit right here and gaze at the unknown
I don't wanna fly in the sky, I just wanna be alone.
I just wanna be alone
Kes with the Fez pinning this :-)
It's "the owlets, egrets, and my list" according to the actual lyrics that Thomas has on his video.
+Constellation Whispers Oh ok, I just copied and pasted them from somewhere. Thanks, I'll change it :)
Thank you 😊
perfect for looping over and over while doing other things
Right now I’m sitting by my desk, drawing Patton while listening to this wonderful song.
Right now, I’m at peace💛
this is so cute ahhhh
awwww
:)
2 am 5/28/17.. My parakeet collapsed in his cage..
I held him for an hour before he looked at me.. His little eyes filled with acceptance.
He looked at the sky and went limp..
i miss him..
+Mae Gay that's so sad i'm sorry
Mae Gay I don't know if it is worse to die or to live in a cage...
im gonna cry this sounds so sad
Mae Gay, it sounds like you really cared about your bird, and I'm sorry you had to lose something you loved a lot. I'm sorry it hurts, but it'll be okay. He's safe up in heaven, and some day you'll get to see him again. And if you're not religious, that's okay. You still have the nice memories of you and your bird to hold on to 🙂
I know this was posted a year ago both my God I'm so sorry. That was really sad to read but he is better now and hopefully you have healed from this and if you haven't, that's ok. Some scars never heal
I come back to this song everytime I'm feeling depressed, sad, or anxious and it really helps
i’m glad to hear that, not that ur depressed oh gosh no but the fact you have somewhere to come to calm down, if you need to talk my dms are always open on twit: @tristanegbert
This makes me happy and sad at the same time
+soitsdakotaa same honestly
okay but can I like, marry this song???
+Martina Pekárová yes you're now married to it
+doddleaudio Oh my goodness! *screams* Hey, Mom! Guess what! I got marrieeed!!!
But really, I love this song so much, thank you! You are a precious human being and you are making the world a better place with each your song
I relate to this song soooo much.
I just want to be alone on a balcony and watch the birds soar through the grey sky with a sketchbook, coffee and a pencil case. All alone and nothing more.
I love this so much, It's my aesthetic
+The Digital Queen samesamesame
This is the greenest song I've ever heard. Also the musical embodiment of the word great. Not like in a this song is great way in a the song gives me the same feeling as the word great gives me
+Harper Wells i relate, also i love your icon
I just layed on my floor for an hour, listening to this on repeat and crying.
I've had this song in my head for so long! dodie definitely adds so much to it! I LOVE your voice!
+BluBluu dodie is so great 😁
im crying. melody and harmony is so pure and beautiful. ;-;
this makes my heart ache
I hope someday I can meet Thomas after I've been on T for a while and have had my top surgery, just so I can finally tell him he's the reason I lived long enough to get those things. 😌
I'm like in love 😍❤💕💗with Thomas I dont know how he's always single. He's like the greatest human ever and his vlogs make everyone happy and more confident.

**couldbegayer COUGH**
This is the best song I ever heard so relatable
I haven't thought about this song in a few years, so happy I found it again!
I love this song!
+seraphina stevens me too!
This song is so pretty
+Brandon Persons i agree

+Luna Kitty Chan haha same!

I didn't know that was a thing. you've saved a life today
This song sounds like a rainy day and I love it

+Luísa Lourenço glad i could help!

+Audrey Sanchez aw thank you!
"I just wanna sit here and feed my birds."- Young John Mulaney
thomas' voice makes me cry just thought you guys could know
+YourPalBerry same
Rhyming polo with polo is making me wanna die and it’s something I always mention with this song
This is so calm, I love it, I just wish it was on Spotify
soooo just had a panic attack and listening to this on repeat to calm down. its really helpful :)
Introverts unite!
+Janthecat G. true!
I can't tell if this is ironic or you really don't see the contradiction in that statement
i think we all just wanna watch the birds fly by
apparently people are still commenting on this video, so I will too! i have a Japanese test in 20 minutes and i'm really really anxious for it, and this is my go-to calm song. i usually sing it to myself if i need to make my brain go quiet, or calm my breathing, but today i wanted to listen to thomas and dodie's lovely voices. im really grateful to this song :D
hey! it's been 3 years, but how'd that test go?
Im also not up for *WATER POLO*
Earlier
Thomas: Hey what rymes with polo?
Everyone:
Thomas: got it! *WATER* POLO
The difference of how Thomas versus Terrence says “it’s not a big deal or anything” is why i cry at night
I never knew this existed, I love it❤️❤️❤️
you’re welcome!
I love this thanks so much
+Jon “Where's my” Lasaga
Did you just... XDD
Someone make a hour long replay of this pld

+Louise :)
Learning this with my best friend ^^
+MC •_• ooo that's fun!!
Thomas' voice is so pretty I would love to have him as a boyfriend and have him sing me lullabies (that probs sounded weird)
+soitsdakotaa awwww that was so sweet
Well unless you're male, have fun even getting his attention lol
Oh but also yes, that is so cute
Me too...but I'm a trans guy. Also, he probably doesnt want to date a fan, so it's not realistic.
We can dream though, his voice is honestly so amazing and I don't even have a good voice but I would sing duets with him all day
HOW DID I NOT KNOW ABOHT THIS CHANNEL??!!
+Sean With An H ISNT IT GREAT
Holy cow!!!! DODIE REPLIED TO ME IM SCREAMING
doddleaudio Thank you so much
i want an hour loop with lyrics so i can learn it
that’s so cute !
Spotify? Please? Now?
This should be on a try not to laugh, sing or smile challenge- it is quite literally impossible. :) Also, is it getting hot in here?
(Cuz this song is lit. XD)
+spidey1100 this was a great comment
A music company should seriously think about hiring you and Thomas.
This song can make the worst day instantly better with each repeat. :)
*Virtual Awesome Highfive*
You just sound epic together. :3
To think, only 2 million people have witnessed or heard this glorious masterpiece... YOU DESERVE MORE..
this isn't her its dodge
dodie*
In the original video's description, it says that someone else wrote it. Thomas didn't write it
+Surviving The Storm oh, can you provide me with who did?
doddleaudio i believe the music and lyrics are by Jacob Fejldhiem, as said in Dodie's description. The link to his channel in the description.
thank you!
I need a karaoke version to this!!!
+Clouddreamer 64 same!!
Working on learning it so maybe I could provide one soon?
Hey, I just realized a mistake in description. It should be taekwondo. And thanks for the audio.
As much as i love the original WHY CANT I GET THIS ON ITUNES :(
I love your channel name
haha thank you!
I need a karaoke for this.
:')
