Beautiful Birds (Acoustic) - Passenger

You remember when we were two beautiful birds

We would

Ligh 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

Like nothing that you'd ever heard

And I said I loved you with all of my heart when

We were two beautiful birds

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

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
