Beautiful Birds

[Verse 1: Passenger] Do you remember when we were two beautiful birds? We would light up the sky when we'd fly You were orange and red like the sun when it sets I was green as an apple's eye [Verse 2: Passenger & Birdy] You said you loved all the songs that I'd sing Like nothing that you'd ever heard And I said I loved you with all of my heart when We were two beautiful birds [Verse 3: Passenger] Do you remember when we were two beautiful birds? We would sing when the morning would come You were silver and blue like the moon when it's new I was gold as a summer sun [Verse 4: Passenger & Birdy] But one day you asked for a different song One that I just couldn't sing I got the melody sharp and the words all wrong Those were the last days of spring [Verse 5: Passenger & Birdy] To build a nest we pecked feathers from our chests Like a book tearing out every page We weren't to know that these feathers would grow Into a beautiful cage
