« Your Laugh Scares the Birds »

Verse 1
In the gray of a November dawn,
You laugh out loud — and I play along.
The pigeons hide beneath the eaves,
They know some truth I can’t believe.

Bridge
Your heart’s a firework in the night,
It burns too fast, too high, too bright.
I hide beneath the friendly rain,
But your touch pulls me back again.

Chorus
Your laugh scares the birds away,
Breaks through glass and fades the day.
Still I keep it under my skin,
Like a secret too bright to keep in.

Verse 2
People turn when you walk by,
Like thunder rolling through the sky.
You’re beauty sharp enough to sting,
Even black crows fear your wings.

Bridge
Your heart’s a firework in the night,
It burns too fast, too high, too bright.
I hide beneath the friendly rain,
But your touch pulls me back again.

Chorus
Your laugh scares the birds away,
Breaks through glass and fades the day.
Still I keep it under my skin,
Like a secret too bright to keep in.

Verse 3
My heart’s plugged into the mains,
It flickers, runs, and cries with pain.
I pretend I know where I go,
But I’m just living — that’s enough, you know.

Bridge
Your heart’s a firework in the night,
It burns too fast, too high, too bright.
I hide beneath the friendly rain,
But your touch pulls me back again.

Final Chorus
Your laugh scares the birds away,
Breaks through glass and fades the day.
Still I keep it under my skin,
Like a secret too bright to keep in.
Like a secret too bright to keep in.
