Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Two birds on a wire One leans in The other leans higher My shoes on the wet phone line Heart hanging out to dry You joke that we live above traffic Looking down on the everyday panic You balance on my borrowed coat Rain on your hair A lump in my throat [Chorus] Two birds on a wire Pretending we’re steady Swaying in the weather Saying we’re ready For the fall For the flight For the wrong For the right Two birds on a wire Holding on too tight [Verse 2] You talk about leaving the city Fold your plans like a paper plane Pretty Say “Maybe you’ll come along” Like it’s casual Like it’s not a bomb I laugh but my voice comes out shaky Sky tastes like metal and daisies You tap your heel on the rust and paint Ask me again I still can’t say [Chorus] Two birds on a wire Pretending we’re steady Swaying in the weather Saying we’re ready For the fall For the flight For the wrong For the right Two birds on a wire Holding on too tight [Bridge] If this breaks Do we both go down? Do we land on our feet Or disappear in the crowd? If you jump first Will I follow? Can I live in the echo Of maybe Of almost? [Chorus] Two birds on a wire Pretending we’re steady Swaying in the weather Saying we’re ready For the fall For the flight For the dark For the light Two birds on a wire (don’t let go tonight) Two birds on a wire Holding on too tight

Intimate indie-pop duet feel; warm male-female vocals in close harmony over fingerpicked acoustic guitar and soft brushed kit. Start sparse and close-mic’d, then bloom in the first chorus with gentle bass, subtle piano chords, and airy pads. Bridge strips back to almost solo guitar and whispered harmonies before a final, slightly lifted chorus with stacked backgrounds and a lingering reverb tail.
