Birds Fly
Hardwell Feat. Matthew Koma & Bebe Rexha 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'm just, trying to show you, every side

When you're a star
And your looking up at the stars
It just looks like Venus or Mars
Let's make this universe ours
Gravity's holding us down
So let's turn this planet around
Oh now, don't you worry 'bout how
Can't nothing stop us now

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

Go on, ask me
Do I love you? I'll say does sunshine
Ask me and I'll tell you
You know I can't lie

When you're a star
And you're looking up at the stars
It just looks like Venus or Mars
Let's make this universe ours
Gravity's holding us down
So let's turn this planet around
Oh now, don't you worry 'bout how
Can't nothing stop us now

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

Fly, fly
Fly, fly (hmm)

Just might cry watching them fly
Fly, fly
Fly, fly (oh)

While I touch the sky
Fly, fly
Fly, fly (oh)

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's so beautiful
I just might cry watching birds fly

Line by Line Meaning

Ask me, do I want this, I say do birds fly?
If you ask me whether I want this, I’d say it’s a rhetorical question, much like asking whether birds can fly.


Ask me, do I feel it, I feel it tonight
If you ask me whether I feel it, I’m feeling it tonight.


If you ask me, where the past is, I left it behind
If you ask me where my past is, I’ve left it behind.


And I'm just, trying to show you, every side
I’m trying to show you all sides of myself.


When you're a star
When you’re famous


And your looking up at the stars
And you’re looking up at the sky


It just looks like Venus or Mars
It’s just an abstract view


Let's make this universe ours
Let’s take control of this world


Gravity's holding us down
Gravity keeps us from floating away


So let's turn this planet around
Let’s make a positive change on this world


Oh now, don't you worry 'bout how
Don’t worry about the details


Can't nothing stop us now
Nothing can stop us


If birds fly, so can I
If birds can fly, so can I


I got a heartbreak dawn rising in my sky
I have a new beginning on the horizon


And it's so beautiful
It’s a beautiful thing


I just might cry watching birds fly
It’s so moving that I might cry while watching birds fly


Go on, ask me
Ask me


Do I love you? I'll say does sunshine
If you ask me whether I love you, I’ll say it’s as much of a certainty as whether the sun is shining


Ask me and I'll tell you
Ask me and I’ll answer


You know I can't lie
You know that I’m not capable of lying


Just might cry watching them fly
Watching birds fly might move me to tears


While I touch the sky
While I reach for the sky

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.

This song still has that melodic charm to this day!

@BatmanHQYT

(applauds) Someone give this dude a Grammy. I just might cry listening to this guy sing (in a good way) - Mr. Probz is an utter genius, and also, I realized how badly I underestimated Hardwell. WOW, man. 

@hammaaddarries9586

I feel the ecact same way man

@BlackOpsGod2011

I didn't expect to see you here, but yeah you're right. This album is a turning point for Hardwell except for a few songs :3

@RadioOneKilla

Man I've been following Mr Probz since his debut single and never been let down by what he's done so far. His voice talks to me and makes me feel a lot
