Beautiful Birds Lyrics

When they told you there was no turning back
You were counting all your fortunes, with their hands around your neck
And they shocked your endorphins
A calm sweep, the winter, pounds hard on Eden's door
Killing two beautiful birds, now

Three long weeks 'til we're home
And all, once again, is gone

Call a doctor, call a doctor
His wings are weak, but every intention's gone
They can't replace your home
Call a doctor, call a doctor
They want you to ignore, but you can't

Prey-less, the long tail is waiting
With a certain intuition, he purrs when suspicion seeks defeat

Three long weeks 'til we're home
And all, once again, is gone

Call a doctor, call a doctor
His wings are weak, but every intention's gone
They can't replace your home
Call a doctor, call a doctor
They want you to ignore, but you can't

Three long weeks 'til we're home
And all, once again, is gone

Call a doctor, call a doctor
His wings are weak, but every intention's gone
They can't replace your home
Call a doctor, call a doctor
They want you to ignore, but you can't

When they told you there was no turning back
You were counting all your fortunes, with their hands around your neck
And they shocked your endorphins
A calm sweep, the winter, pounds hard on Eden's door
Killing two beautiful birds, now
 
Three long weeks 'til we're home
And all, once again, is gone
 
Call a doctor, call a doctor
His wings are weak, but every intention's gone
They can't replace your home
Call a doctor, call a doctor
They want you to ignore, but you can't
 
Prey-less, the long tail is waiting
With a certain intuition, he purrs when suspicion seeks defeat

Three long weeks 'til we're home
And all, once again, is gone

Call a doctor, call a doctor
His wings are weak, but every intention's gone
They can't replace your home
Call a doctor, call a doctor
They want you to ignore, but you can't

Three long weeks 'til we're home
And all, once again, is gone

Call a doctor, call a doctor
His wings are weak, but every intention's gone
They can't replace your home
Call a doctor, call a doctor
They want you to ignore, but you can't

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.
