[Verse 1 — Bird] Someone had opened the cage before the break of day. By morning, the bird was sleeping beside the open door. [Chorus] Maybe leaving was… loving. Maybe loving was… staying. Maybe leaving was… staying. [Verse 2 — Hands] Their hands had found each other in the middle of the table. One slowly pulled away. The other waited for it. [Chorus] Maybe leaving was… loving. Maybe loving was… staying. Maybe leaving was… staying. [Instrumental Bridge — expressive melodic guitar and cello, human-like phrasing, pauses, unresolved] [Final Chorus] Maybe leaving was… loving. Maybe loving was… staying. Maybe leaving was… staying.
