New Birds lyrics

You just have to be sure you`re doing the right thing.
I mean it`s very easy to forget - she`s just sitting there in the pub with her new friends and her new life and her new hair, and it`s been five years but you`d know just to look at her.

I wasn`t even sure it were her at first, i was ready to walk away but she smiled and called me over and we said hello for a bit. when we back to our tables we were trying not to look over at eac
Er and told our firneds to stop staring. i didn`t see her for the rest of the night, but by closing time the beer`s kicked in so i go up and speak to her and we end up talking about our new home
R new jobs and our new birds.

She says she`s been going out with him now for about two and a half years, but they don`t live together so he`d never find out. and you think about chasing her about school when you were wee and
G in your bed and listening to love songs and pretending they were about you. and the first time you asked her out she said no but one night you went to a wedding and when you came back to the p
E`s changed her mind and you went out. you remember the way she swung her arms when she held your hand but you can`t remember how she kissed and now you`ve got the chance to find out.

But you have to remember there`s this other kiss. she`s at home, wondering where you are and what you`re doing. and you work hard on this kiss and you know it inside out, it`s as much yours as i
Hers,and it took a long time to get right, it took months of practice and months of embarassment but now you`ve got it perfected and you`ve been looking forward to that kiss all week.

You can see her breath in the air between your faces as you stand in the leaves and she just asks you straight out if you want to come and stay at her flat. but you make sure you get separate ta
Nd you go home and there might be a slight regret and you might wonder what you missed but you have to remember the kiss you worked so hard on - and you`ll know you`ve done the right thing.
