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 for 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

This song is a hidden treasure. People who don't look deep enough won't find it.

I prefer the acoustic version. I think it feels more personal and meaningful.

The song's lyrics if anyone wanted to sing along ;) 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 (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 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

Makes me miss people I never knew and remember moments I never lived... Confusing I know, but some people may understand the meaning of this words...
-
She should do an acoustic album... Her unplugged voice is amazing... 😍
-
Her voice and acoustic version are stunningly beautiful ❤️
-
If this is what you are listening to in the UK... Well let me say bravo. We don't have many really good singers in the US. I have fell in love with Birdy's music. As we say in the south "This girl can sang".
-
I am in awe of this young woman's extraordinary talent
-
I prefer this to the studio single version, just amazing
-
Such a gem in this music industry. Truly an artist that should continue sharing her beautiful gift until the end of time.
-
I've heard so many great songs in my life but this one gets me every time, any version. It's just so incredibly beautiful. Makes me calm, grateful, feel like I am getting in touch with something strong and warm and comforting beyond our daily routines. And I am not a religious person.
-
Wow. I really love your voice Birdy. It is like velvet and honey.
-
This song is amazing! Her vocals are so haunting...She has that rare gift of making you realize a moment in your life you may have forgotten about a love that once was. Beautifully done Birdy p

This songs instantly transports me back to my first year of college. All the struggles. I’d listen to this everyday, walking around alone hoping to make friends. Eventually I did. Now it’s all over, and the friends are now memories.
