Wings

Birdy · Fire Within [2013]

[Verse 1]

Sunlight comes creeping in

Illuminates our skin

We watched the day go by

Stories of what we did

It made me think of you

It made me think of you



[Verse 2]

Under a trillion stars

We danced on top of cars

Took pictures of the state

So far from where we are

They made me think of you

They made me think of you



[Chorus]

Oh lights go down

In the moment we're lost and found

I just wanna be by your side

If these wings could fly



Oh damn these walls

In the moment we're ten feet tall

And how you told me after it all

We'd remember tonight

For the rest of our lives



[Verse 3]

I'm in the foreign state

My thoughts they've slipped away

My words are leaving me

They caught an airplane

Because I thought of you

Just for the thought of you



[Chorus]

Oh lights go down

In the moment we're lost and found

I just wanna be by your side

If these wings could fly



Oh damn these walls

In the moment we're ten feet tall

And how you told me after it all

We'd remember tonight

For the rest of our lives



If these wings could fly



[Chorus]

Oh lights go down

In the moment we're lost and found

I just wanna be by your side

If these wings could fly



Oh damn these walls

In the moment we're ten feet tall

And how you told me after it all

We'd remember tonight

For the rest of our lives
