[Verse 1]
We were kids in the corner
Writing hearts on our sneakers
Stealing grapes from the market
Laughing loud at the preachers
You kept stones in your pocket
For the roads we might wander
I kept maps in my journal
Just in case we went farther
[Chorus]
Birds of a feather
Falling together
Up in the weather
You and I
Spin in the chaos
Light as a rainstorm
We don’t even try to fly
We just rise
We just rise (oh-oh)
[Verse 2]
You got ink on your fingers
From the words you were hiding
I got scars on my thumbs
Yeah
From the matches I’m striking
You say
“Promise you’ll find me
If the skyline is burning”
So I circle your birthday
On the days I keep turning
[Chorus]
Birds of a feather
Falling together
Up in the weather
You and I
Spin in the chaos
Light as a rainstorm
We don’t even try to fly
We just rise
We just rise (oh-oh)
[Bridge]
If the ground gives out
I’ll still reach for you
If the sky falls down
We’ll make something new
Every torn-up wing
Every crooked line
Still the same two silhouettes
On the same power line (hey)
[Chorus]
Birds of a feather
Falling together
Up in the weather
You and I
Lost in the moment
Stuck in forever
You’re still my favorite alibi
We just rise
We just rise (oh-oh)
Birds of a feather
You and I
