Simple Things [Verse 1] Them happy birds… Cockatiel singing away Sun through the window — spilling into the day Head tilt rhythm Feathers catching the light… A tiny burst of music everything feels right [Pre-Chorus] phrasing] No clock — no rush — no plan Just this song… and where I am [Chorus] Sing it out, little bird Brightest song I’ve ever heard Chirp it high — chirp it free You… and your melody Sing it out, don’t slow down Turn this quiet room to sound Happy wings happy beat dancing on your tiny feet [Verse 2] Climb and hop from bar to bar like you’re traveling very far Tilt your head like you know… The unknown You don’t measure time at all you just answer every call [Bridge] Whistle… pause… whistle again… Notes that don’t know where they end I try to follow where you lead — just sing what I feel, not what I need [Final Chorus] Sing it out, little bird Best small song I’ve ever heard Chirp it bright — chirp it true Little teacher… teaching me too [Outro] percussion and bird-like motifs]
