About This Track

'Bluebird' by Gareth is a 2025 track from the album 'Bluebird'. The lyrics picture a speaker watching for a creature hidden from view, urging it to sing, and fretting over the harshness of the outside world. The chorus-like sentiment leans hard on attachment and need, with repeated declarations of love and dependence, capped by a wary note about fearing what comes next. The vocal writing moves from fragile observation into a more insistent plea, turning the “beating wings” image into a test of courage and care.

"Bluebird" is a track by Gareth, from the album Bluebird, released 24th October 2025. Full lyrics are available below.

Lyrics

Bluebird

[Verse 1]

I know you're inside, beating your wings

First sign, a sunrise, and you gotta sing

But it's a cruel world out there and I care too much

Maybe I'm scared to find out no one can

[Pre-Chorus]

Love you like I love you

Need you like I need you

And I need you, so

[Chorus]

Bluebird, bluebird

I can't let you fly

I know you want

Wanna see the sky

Hate to hold you back

I know I'll have to let you out of my chest

But I'm just not ready yet

[Verse 2]

I told you that it's for your own good, but maybe I lied

And I know it's not the same only flying at

Midnight sometimes, whiskey in your wings

Don't go too high or too far away

[Chorus]

Bluebird, bluebird

I can't let you fly

I know you want

Wanna see the sky

Hate to hold you back

I know I'll have to let you out of my chest

But I'm just not ready yet

[Post-Chorus]

No, I'm not ready yet, oh

[Chorus]

Bluebird, bluebird

I can't let you fly

I know you want

Wanna see the sky

Hate to hold you back

I know I'll have to let you out of my chest

But I'm just not ready yet

[Outro]

Woah, woah

Oh, I'm not ready yet, oh
