3rd & Bird Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Most nights
Stuck at work 'til daylight
I want to be closer to you
I don't know what to do
Back and forth
I know I'm not there at night
But I'm working hard
Trying to stay by your side
Back and forth
I know I'm not there at night
But I'm working hard
Trying to stay by your side
Late nights
Not really worth the pay, right?
Not when I miss your face, right?
Wish I was with you
Sick of being under moonlight
Never get to hold you tight
I wish that we could go out
And I pray that I can make things
Right by you
And I hope you miss me too
Back and forth
I know I'm not there at night
(I'm never there at night)
But I'm working hard
Trying to stay by your side
(Trying to stay by your side)
Back and forth
I know I'm not there at night
(I'm not there at night)
But I'm working hard




Trying to stay by your side
Tonight

I wonder why this show didn't get as much dubs as Wonder Pets

@christianyi3067

I was thinking about wonder pets when I started watching this

@a.m.theshinyjohtohunter4287

Probably for the same reasn Miss Spider Sunny patch Kids didnt get the rcognition it deserved: because it was too wholesome and because it depicted a gasp nuclear family with 1 mom, 1 dad and more than a single child.

@ilikecheese3701

Wait did this show not British

@stimpygir5042

I could've sworn they had American accents when I grew up-

@coolcreeper88
