have i found you?

One of my favorite songs is: Flightless Bird, American Mouth - Iron & Wine
It will soothe you to sleep. It's an absolutely amazing tune and he has the most brilliant voice.
One thing though:
...The lyrics are a bit...strange.

I was a quick, wet boy diving too deep for coins-
All of your street light eyes wide of my plastic toys.
Then when the cops closed the fair, I cut my long, baby hair
Stole me a dog-eared map and called for you everywhere.
Have I found you?
Flightless bird, jealous, weeping, or lost you American mouth-
Big pill looming.
Now I'm a fat house cat nursing my sore blunt tongue
Watching the warm poison rats crawl through the white fence cracks
Pissing on magazine photos; those fishing lures
Thrown in the cold and clean blood of Christ mountain stream.
Have I found you?
Flightless bird, grounded, bleeding, or lost you American mouth-
Big pill stuck going down.

I don't know about you- maybe there's some deep, metaphorical, hidden and sentimental meaning, but I can't see it. So I got bored and wrote some of my own lyrics. They're cheesy, but understandable. Like most song lyrics are. :D

I was engulfed by you, felt high off your sweet perfume;
With flowers in place of eyes, you watched from across the room.
And we were the perfect pair, till suddenly you weren’t there,
So I stole me a dog-eared map and called for you everywhere.
Have I found you?
Flightless bird, grounded, weeping, or lost you, American mouth-
Hiding, looming
Now when my search was done, your cheeks wore a thousand tears.
I whispered “You are the one” as we waded in Autumn sun
Here in this thundering sea these words are a harmony-
Your voice soft as butter cream; my love cries mountain streams.
Have I found you?
Flightless bird, free now, singing, or lost you, American mouth-
Out here, liberating

I kept some stuff the same because it was so good. But yeah. Hooray :D
