Bird

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah she was young too
So in love but they don't understand
Games that we played
Blue shadows in a doorway
Stealing time forbidden kisses
I wanted to stay but I had to go away
[Chorus]
Silverbird come take me home to you
Silverbird come take me home to you
Well it's been five years
Unjustified years
Other girls that just don't make it
Face to face with you
Red sunset through my window
I won't sleep tonight I'm coming home
Please let it be that you're waiting there for me
[Chorus]
