[Intro]
Why do birds suddenly appear
Every time that you are near
[Verse 1]
Sometimes I belong by myself, yeah
Don't feel at home by myself, yeah
It ain't the same feeling with somebody else
Feel like a clone of myself, yeah
See, I ain't gotta lie rather tell the truth
But I tell the truth 'bout everything
Everything, everything, everything
Yeah, tell the truth 'bout everything
[Verse 2]
Sometimes, I just don't wanna feel

Why I'm still, yeah, I'm still
Close to you, close to you

That kept us here together
(And decided to make a dream come true)
Well, I said it once, I'll say it again
And golden starlight in your eyes
So true, ooh, ooh
And that is why
[Outro]
Why do birds suddenly appear
Every time that you are near
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you

And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moondust in your hair
And that is why—
Birds suddenly appear
Every time that you are near
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
On the day that you were born
The angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moondust in your hair
And golden starlight in your eyes
So true, ooh, ooh
And that is why—
