On a balcony
On a summer night
There's a reverie
To a quiet life
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

There's a songbird (ooh-ooh)
On a mountain of expecting
There's a songbird (ooh-ooh)
To a crowd so unexpecting
There's a songbird (ooh-ooh)
With the fear of unaccepting
It's depressing
That the best I'll ever be is just like this

Do they follow me? (ah-ah)
All those city lights (ooh-ooh-ooh)
Do they call for me
In a lover's eyes? (ooh)
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

There's a songbird (ooh-ooh)
On a wave of first impressions
There's a songbird (ooh-ooh)
With a way of learning lessons
There's a songbird (ooh-ooh)
With a thing for introspection
It's depressing
That the best I'll ever be is just like this

(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
