New Birds

Lyrics: New Birds

["","And it's been five years but you'd know just to look at her","But you have to remember the kiss you worked so hard on","And you might wonder what you missed","","","And called me over and we said hello for a bit","Between your faces as you stand in the leaves","But they don't live together so he'd never find out","She says she's been going out with him now","It's as much yours as it is hers","And told our friends to stop staring","And it took a long time to get right","She's just sitting there in the pub with her new friends","And her new life and her new hair","","And you work hard on this kiss and you know it inside out","","","And now you've got the chance to find out","I didn't see her for the rest of the night","","And pretending they were about you","You remember the way she swung her arms","I wasn't even sure it were her at first","And months of embarrassment but now you've got it perfected","And you think about chasing her about school","","It took months of practice","We were trying not to look over at each other","When we back to our tables","And when you came back to the pub","She said no but one night you went to a wedding","And listening to love songs","But you have to remember there's this other kiss","And you've been looking forward to that kiss all week","","I mean it's very easy to forget","Our new jobs and our new birds","But by closing time the beer's kicked in","","If you want to come and stay at her flat","I was ready to walk away but she smiled","For about two and a half years","When you were wee and lying in your bed","And you go home and there might be a slight regret","And we end up talking about our new homes","And she just asks you straight out","But you can't remember how she kissed","You just have to be sure you're doing the right thing","When she held your hand","She's at home, wondering where you are and what you're doing","She's changed her mind and you went out","So I go up and speak to her","You can see her breath in the air","And the first time you asked her out","But you make sure you get separate taxis","And you'll know you've done the right thing",""]
