Birdie
illion Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know that you're been lonely
there across the universe.
He always sits next to you.
guess what?
His name was Solitary.
Mind if I change place with him?
Will you say goodbye to him?
Take your time give hug to him.
Because you'll never
gonna see him again.

Hello it's me again,
I'll guide you to
a new adventure.
Let's start with little chat
that doesn't mean a thing
at all now.
Take a try and ask me one.
After that I'll ask you one.
Take your time
there's plenty left.
It's nothing hard
I'll give you one for now.
What I want to be is probably
Like a bird flies into your eyes
Like a bird flies into your soul
Like a bird flies
into your sight
Like a bird flies
into your heart
You must be feeling small
with lack of friend
who knows you all
But here I am next to you
guess what? My name is...
Whatever you want to call it is.
Anything but 'ominous'.
How about Mr. Optimist
or should I be a man
without a name?
Because what I want to be is
probably basically occasionally.
Like a bird flies into your eyes
Like a bird flies into your soul
Like a bird flies
into your sight




Like a bird flies into
into your heart
