Birds Fly
Hardwell Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ask me do I want this, I say do birds fly
Ask me do I feel it, I feel it tonight
If you ask me where the past is, I left it behind
And I'll just try to show you every side

When you're a star, and you looking up at the stars
It just looks like Venus or Mars, lets make this universe ours
Gravity is holding us down, so lets turn this planet around
Oh don't you worry about how, can't nothin' stop us now

If birds fly, so can I
I got a heartbreak dawn rising in my sky and
it is so beautiful, I just might cry watching birds fly

Go on ask me, do I love you, I'll say the sunshine
Ask me, and I'll tell you, you know I can't lie

When you are a star, and you looking up at the stars
It just looks like Venus or Mars, lets make this universe ours
Gravity is holding us down, so lets turn this planet around
I don't you worry about how, can't nothin' stop us now

If birds fly, so can I
I got a heartbreak dawn rising in my sky and
it is so beautiful, I just might cry watching birds fly

If birds fly, so can I
I got a heartbreak dawn rising in my sky and
it is so beautiful, I just might cry watching birds fly

Fly, fly, fly, fly (hmmm)
Just might cry watching them fly
Fly, fly, fly, fly (woah)
While I touch the sky
Fly, fly, fly, fly (woaah)
While I touch the sky
Fly, fly, fly, fly (sky)

Fly, Fly

If birds fly, so can I




I got a heartbreak dawn rising in my sky and
it is so beautiful, I just might cry watching birds fly

Pergunte-me que eu quero isso, eu digo que os pássaros voam

Pergunte-me fazer Eu sinto isso, sinto que esta noite

Se você me perguntar onde o passado é que eu deixei para trás

E eu vou apenas tentar mostrar-lhe todos os lados

Quando você é uma estrela, e você olha para as estrelas

Ela só olha como Vênus ou Marte, vamos fazer esse nosso universo

A gravidade está nos puxando para baixo, então vamos transformar este planeta em torno de

Oh não se preocupe sobre como, Nada pode nos parar agora

Se os pássaros voam, eu também posso

Eu tenho um desgosto amanhecer subindo no meu céu e

é tão bonito, eu só poderia chorar vendo os pássaros voam.

Vá perguntar-me, eu te amo, eu vou dizer a luz do sol

Pergunte-me, e eu vou te dizer, você sabe que eu não posso mentir

Quando você é uma estrela, e você olha para as estrelas

Ela só olha como Vênus ou Marte, vamos fazer esse nosso universo

A gravidade está nos puxando para baixo, então vamos transformar este planeta em torno de

Não se preocupe sobre como, Nada pode nos parar agora

Se os pássaros voam, eu também posso

Eu tenho um desgosto amanhecer subindo no meu céu e

é tão bonito, eu só poderia chorar assistindo pássaros voam

Se os pássaros voam, eu também posso

Eu tenho um desgosto amanhecer subindo no meu céu e

é tão bonito, eu só poderia chorar assistindo pássaros voam

Voar, voar, voar, voar (hmmm)

Só pode chorar assistindo-los voar

Voar, voar, voar, voar (woah)

Enquanto eu tocar o céu

Voar, voar, voar, voar (Woaah)

Enquanto eu tocar o céu

Voar, voar, voar, voar (céu)

Fly, Fly

Se os pássaros voam, eu também posso

Eu tenho um desgosto amanhecer subindo no meu céu e

é tão bonito, eu só poderia chorar vendo os pássaros voam.
