[Verse 1]
Every morning
Feathers in the air
Branches shaking
Song everywhere
Cup of coffee
Windows open wide
You blink once
They all decide to hide
[Chorus]
Birds go “nah ah!!!”
(pop) they’re gone
Like they pulled
The sky’s curtain down
Shoes hit gravel
Whole world stops
You step out
And the singing just drops
[Verse 2]
You swear you saw them
Party on the wires
Gossip in the gutters
Little flying liars
But the screen door creaks
And the scene cuts out
Like someone hit mute
On a laughing crowd
[Chorus]
Birds go “nah ah!!!”
(pop) they’re gone
Like they pulled
The sky’s curtain down
Shoes hit gravel
Whole world stops
You step out
And the singing just drops
[Bridge]
Maybe they’re hiding
Behind the sun
Snickering softly
At everyone
I raise my hands
Say
“okay
You win”
[beat drops to claps and vocal]
Then one brave beak
Lets a giggle slip in (hey!)
[Chorus]
Birds go “nah ah!!!”
(pop) not yet
We’ll come back
When the coast is set
Shoes on gravel
Hearts all stop
You step out
And the world goes—pop
