Verse 1: 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
