You remember when we were two beautiful birds, we would light up the sky, when we'd fly, You were orange and red, like the sun when it sets, I was green as an apple's eye. You said you loved all the songs that I'd sing, like nothing you'd ever heard, And I said I loved you with all of my heart when we were two beautiful birds. ♪ Remember when we were two beautiful birds, we would say when the morning would come, You are silver and blue like the moon when it's new, I was gold as the summer sun. But one day you asked for a different song, One that I just couldn't sing, I got the melody sharp, and the words all wrong, Those were the last days of spring. To build a nest we pecked feathers from our chests, Like a book tearing out every page, We weren't to know that these feathers would grow, Into a beautiful cage.
