Under the stars,
Softly on the moonlight,
Watch them as they part so slow.
Hear the passing cars,
Gently, under streetlights,
Speeding as far as they’ll go.
I can feel your skin,
It’s breathing in the nighttime,
I’ve been breathing in and on.
You don’t know my name,
You’re leaving at the sunrise,
You never meant to stay so long.
Forget about what I said,
Don’t let it out of your head,
Regret it now I’m in your bed,
I bled it out all instead.
You’ll let me down won’t hang around,
‘Cause I’m leaving here tonight.
We’re down and out, I won’t be found,
And the song you’ll sing is mine.
Don’t you wanna make this right?
We can fall in love tonight.
Don’t leave me in a lonely sky,
We’re the birds of paradise.
We are scavengers,
Surviving on the same love,
You know it could be worse for us.
I’ve seen you through your words,
Even when it got rough,
I never knew you’d take so much.
Forget about what I said,
Don’t let it out of your head,
Regret it now I’m in your bed,
I bled it out all instead.
You’ll let me down won’t hang around,
‘Cause I’m leaving here tonight.
We’re down and out, I won’t be found,
And the song you’ll sing is mine.
Don’t you wanna make this right?
We can fall in love tonight.
Don’t leave me in a lonely sky,
We’re the birds of paradise.
Birds of paradise can fly,
Above the lights tonight.
And you could lie and win the fight,
With me but that’s alright.
Forget about what I said,
Don’t let it out of your head,
Regret it now I’m in your bed,
I bled it out all instead.
You’ll let me down won’t hang around,
‘Cause I’m leaving here tonight.
We’re down and out, I won’t be found,
And the song you’ll sing is mine, (is mine).
Don’t you wanna make this right?
We can fall in love tonight.
Don’t leave me in a lonely sky,
We’re the birds of paradise.
