Birds - Kate Nash

She was waiting at the station,
he was getting off the train.
He didn't have a ticket, so he had to run through the barriers, again.

Well the ticket inspector saw him rushing through.
He said, "Girl, you don't know how much I missed you,
but,
we better run.
'Cause I haven't got the funds,
to pay this,
fine."
She said,
"Fine."

So they ran out of the station, and jumped onto a bus,
with two of yesterday's travel cards, and two bottles of bud.
And he said "You look, well, nice."

Well she was wearing a skirt, and he thought she looked nice,
and, yeah, she didn't really care about anything else,
because she only wanted him to think that she looked nice,
and he did.

But he was looking at her, yeah,
all funny in the eye.
She said, "Come on, boy,
tell me what you're thinking now,
don't be shy."
He said, "Alright, I'll try."

"Well, the stars up in the sky,
and the leaves in the trees.
All the broken bits that make you trip up and the grassy bits in between.
All the matter in the world,
is how much that I like you."

She said, "What?"
He said, "Let me try and explain again."

"Right, birds can fly so high,
and they can s**t on your head.
Yeah, they can almost fly into your eye,
and make you feel so scared.
But when you look at them,
and you see that they are beautiful,
that's how I feel about you.

Thats how I feel about you."

She said, "What?"
He said, "You."
She said, "What are you talking about?"
He said, "You."

"Right, birds can fly so high,

She said, "Thanks, I like you too."
He said, "Cool."
