Up With The Birds

Album: Mylo Xyloto (2011)

  • The birds they sang, at break of day
    "Start again" I hear them say
    It's so hard to just walk away

    The birds they sang, all a choir
    "Start again" a little higher
    It's a spark in a sea of gray

    The sky is blue
    Dream that lie 'til it's true
    Then takin' back the punch I threw
    My arms turn wings
    Oh, those clumsy things
    Send me up to that wonderful world
    And then I'm up with the birds

    Might have to go
    Where they don't know my name
    Float all over the world
    Just to see her again
    But I won't show or fear any pain
    Even though all my armor might rust in the rain

    A simple plot
    But I know one day
    Good things are coming our way

    A simple plot
    But I know one day
    Good things are coming our way
