Birds

Birds in the background

Singing a song

Reminding me that this

Life will go on

The good times and bad times

And times in between

There's birds in the background

Of everything

I can remember getting the call

The sound of your voice

A tear waterfall

Eating that first breakfast alone

Your stuff all boxed up

Fresh paint on the wall

Birds in the background

Singing a song

Reminding me that this

Life will go on

Good times and bad times

And times in between

There's birds in the background

Of everything

They're so small that you could miss em

Under city sirens and unwashed dishes

If you close you close your eyes and listen

I almost guarantee

They'll almost always be

Birds in the background

Singing a song

Reminding me that this

Life will go on

The good times and bad times

And times in between

There's birds in the background

Of everything

There's birds in the background

If you’re listening
