Little Bird Lyrics

little bird on the high wire
wish you would come down to earth
peck a kiss upon my shoulder
leave a mark, and make me better

if you take off your mask
i swear to you
i will cut my past
- habits, and the end
will never start

and i
- am absolutely sure
i'm all yours

happy songs, they've work for some
if i'm not wrong, this is my first one
now that i have stopped my crying
peck a kiss upon this smile

i am absolutely true
i love you
i love you

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

i'm pretty sure the " am absolutely shocked how are you" is supposed to be "i'm absolutely sure i'm all yours"

at least that is what it sounds like.

beautiful song by the way. i love ukelele and i'm delighted that he made it sound so fragile and pretty instead of plain dorky.

Little bird on a high wire, I wish you would come down to Earth and, peck your kiss upon my shoulder, leave a mark and make me better

If you take off your mask. I swear to you I'd work on my past, Habits and the end will never start

And I am absolutely sure, how are yours?

Happy songs they've worked for some, If I'm not wrong this is my first one. Now that I have stopped my crying, Peck a kiss upon this smile and,

I am absolutely true I love you I love you.
