Wings Lyrics

Sunlight comes creeping in
Illuminates our skin
We watch the day go by
Stories of all we did
It made me think of you
It made me think of you

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

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

I'm in a foreign state
My thoughts they slip away
My words are leaving me
They caught an aeroplane
Because I thought of you
Just from the thought of you

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

If these wings could fly

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

Wings

This stirring, propulsive tune was released as the lead single from Birdy's second album, Fire Within. The record finds the teenage singer-songwriter collaborating with some of the biggest names in the business, including on this song Ryan Tedder. The OneRepublic frontman has penned hits for the likes of Leona Lewis ("Bleeding Love") and Beyoncé ("Halo") as well as his own group. "When I first started writing with other people, I was terrified, because on one level, it's a deeply strange thing to do," Birdy admitted, "go into a room and share your ideas with someone you don't know. But I love it now, because it's interesting to hear someone else's take on what you've done, and to draw new inspiration from their ideas."

The song's Sophie Muller-directed video shows Birdy with guests at a flamboyant mansion party. It was shot in and around Pylewell House, which is located near Lymington in Hampshire, England. The clip also stars Birdy's best friend, her younger sister Caitlin, as well as a couple of cousins. "The song is about having a wonderful time and the memory of being with your friends and kind of wishing you were back there, so I wanted it to feel like a festival, and then the director had the idea of putting everyone in carnival clothes to make it a bit weirder and more interesting," she recalled to The Mail On Sunday's You Magazine. "We had a brilliant time making it, everyone just looked so amazing. My little sister Caitlin and two of my cousins are the ones riding the horses, and in the shots of me on the swing I am with my best friend Becky."

The song featured in the trailer for the movie Winter's Tale. Birdy described to Billboard magazine watching the preview and hearing her tune as, "so cool … to have it playing, and for all my friends to see it."

"Wings" was used in a commercial for Lloyds Bank, in which the financial institution celebrates its 250th anniversary. A new acoustic recording of the song as heard in the advert was released in July 2015, which became Birdy's first ever UK Top 10 hit single.

Words as Weapons Lyrics

I feel your knife as it goes right in
Cut to my core but I'm not bleeding
All that you say trying to make me small
Well, the bigger you get the harder you fall

You use your words as a weapon dear
But your blades don't hurt when you have no fear

You think that you're deep under my skin
You're trying to keep me suffering

If you use your words as a weapon
Then as a weapon, I'll shed no tears

You have my heart but I lock it up
This burning flame has been burnt enough
My window's cracked they can be replaced
But your arm will tire throwing stones my way

You use your words as a weapon dear
But your blades don't hurt when you have no fear

You think that you're deep under my skin
You're trying to keep me suffering

If you use your words as a weapon
Then as a weapon, I'll shed no tears

I feel your knife as it goes right in

You use your words as a weapon dear
But your blades don't hurt when you have no fear

You think that you're deep under my skin
You're trying to keep me suffering

If you use your words as a weapon
Then as a weapon, I'll shed no tears

I'll shed no tears

Words as Weapons

This emotive ballad was written by Birdy with OneRepublic fromtman Ryan Tedder. The pair also collaborated on Fire Within's lead single "Wings." Speaking about the song, Birdy commented: "'Words as Weapons' is one of my favourite tracks on the album and I love performing it live. I love the way the track is layered with harmonies which creates a wall of sound. I'm hugely proud of the song."

The song's music video was directed by Sophie Muller. The British director has also worked on music videos for Björk, Katy B and OneRepublic. Asked by The Idolator about the visuals's concept, Birdy explained: "It's obviously not the true story of the song, but I really wanted a story line. So I'm meant to be a ghost in it. An evil ghost and I'm haunting my ex-boyfriend, who isn't very nice."

Not About Angels Lyrics

We know full well there's just time
So is it wrong to toss this line?
If your heart was full of love
Could you give it up?

'Cause what about, what about angels?
They will come, they will go, make us special

Don't give me up
Don't give
Me up

How unfair, it's just our love
Found something real that's out of touch
But if you'd searched the whole wide world
Would you dare to let it go?

'Cause what about, what about angels?
They will come, they will go, make us special

Don't give me up
Don't give
Me up

'Cause what about, what about angels?
They will come, they will go, make us special

It's not about Not About Angels, angels

Not About Angels

This is one of three songs recorded by Birdy for The Fault in Our Stars movie soundtrack. She explained to The Idolator that this track was completely inspired by the film's storyline. "'Not About Angels' was really about how Hazel, the main character, feels like she's like a grenade," she said, "but her realizing that if you have something so true and beautiful, it should be cherished, so, for me, that was really inspiring."
