[Verse 1]
She: You talk like you invented it
He: I act like I forgot
She: Scribbled hearts in a science book
He: Now my pulse just won’t stop
She: You say it’s only chemistry
He: I say it’s something sweet
Both: Either way we end up tangled
Like branches in the heat
[Chorus]
It’s the birds and the bees and the way you breathe
When you’re right up against my skin (oh)
All the facts they fed us back then in class
Didn’t tell me how it feels to give in
It’s the birds and the bees and the crash of teeth
When we’re laughing and we can’t let go
Nature’s little secret written in our knees
Shaking every time you pull me close
[Verse 2]
He: You drew a halo on my pic
She: I burned your old IDs
He: We said we’d keep it casual
She: Now you’re planted in my dreams
He: There’s a storm behind your lipstick
She: There’s a bruise under your pride
Both: We’re the oldest kind of story
Told in whispers late at night
[Chorus]
It’s the birds and the bees and the way you breathe
When you’re right up against my skin (yeah)
All the rules they wrote in tidy ink
Didn’t warn me how the rush kicks in
It’s the birds and the bees and the crash of teeth
When we’re kissing through a stupid joke
Nature’s little secret buzzing in our chests
Rising every time you pull me close
[Bridge]
She: Are we just bodies learning to speak? (hey)
He: Or something bigger waking in me?
She: Call it fate
Call it biology
Both: I just know I want you next to me
[Chorus]
It’s the birds and the bees and the way you breathe
When you’re shaking and you say my name
All the diagrams and black-and-white
Never captured how we burst in flame
It’s the birds and the bees
Yeah
The birds and the bees
And the mess of you and the mess of me
Ancient little secret hiding in our sheets
Writing “you and me” in every beat
