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
