Wings

"Wings" was released as a digital download on July 29, 2013 and is the lead single from Birdy's second studio album "Fire Within" (2013). The music video for the song was released on YouTube in August 2013. It features a lavish midsummer's night costume party in the grounds of a mansion (Pylewell House, near Lymington in Hampshire, England - the estate where Birdy grew up). The video stars Birdy's younger sister, Caitlin, and 2 of her cousins (riding horses) as well as her best friend, Becky (on the swing). The video was directed by Sophie Muller and produced by Jacob Swan Hyam for the Black Dog Films (production company). <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/Birdy/_/Wings">Read more on Last.fm</a>.

[Verse 1] Sunlight comes creepin' in Illuminates our skin We watched the day go by Stories of all we did It made me think of you It made me think of you [Verse 2] Under a trillion stars We danced on top of cars Took pictures of the stage So far from where we are They made me think of you They made me think of you [Chorus] Oh, lights go down In the moment, we're lost and found I just wanna be by your side If these wings could fly For the rest of our lives [Verse 3] I'm in a foreign state My thoughts, they slip away My words are leavin' me They caught an aeroplane Because I thought of you Just from the thought of you [Chorus] Oh, lights go down In the moment, we're lost and found I just wanna be by your side If these wings could fly Oh, damn these walls In the moment, we're ten feet tall And how you told me after it all We'd remember tonight For the rest of our lives [Bridge] Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah Ah-ah-ah (Ah-ah-ah-ah) if these wings could fly Ah-ah [Chorus] Oh, lights go down In the moment, we're lost and found I just wanna be by your side If these wings could fly Oh, damn these walls In the moment, we're ten feet tall And how you told me after it all We'd remember tonight For the rest of our lives
