(+) Beautiful Birds (feat. Birdy)
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
You said you loved all the songs
That I'd sing
But nothing like you'd ever heard
And I said I loved you with all of my heart
When we were two beautiful birds
You remember when we were
Two beautiful birds we would
Say when the morning would come
You are silver and blue like the moon
When it's new I was gold
As the summer sun
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
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
