Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
i am very pleased,to see the birds up in the tree's
knowing but never showing
i could fly as high as bee's
meeting a heart is beating
move arcross the floor,it's never felt like this before
feeling my sense is realing
in our dreams ill lock the door
(chorus)
