Birds Of A Feather Billie Eilish lyrics
Original Lyrics
English
[Intro]
(But I wanna stay)
[Verse 1]
I want you to stay
'Til I'm in the grave
'Til I rot away, dead and buried
'Til I'm in the casket you carry
If you go, I'm goin' too, uh
'Cause it was always you (Alright)
And if I'm turnin' blue, please don't save me
Nothin' left to lose without my baby
[Refrain]
Birds of a feather, we should stick together, I know
I said I'd never think I wasn't better alone
Can't change the weather, might not be forever
But if it's forever, it's even better
[Pre-Chorus]
And I don't know what I'm cryin' for
I don't think I could love you more
It might not be long, but baby, I
[Chorus]
I'll love you 'til the day that I die
'Til the day that I die
'Til the light leaves my eyes
'Til the day that I die

[Verse 2]
I want you to see, hm
How you look to me, hm
You wouldn't believe if I told ya
You would keep the compliments I throw ya
But you're so full of shit, uh
Tell me it's a bit, oh
Say you don't see it, your mind's polluted
Say you wanna quit, don't be stupid
[Pre-Chorus]
And I don't know what I'm cryin' for
I don't think I could love you more
It might not be long, but baby, I
Don't wanna say goodbye
[Chorus]
Birds of a feather, we should stick together, I know ('Til the day that I die)
I said I'd never think I wasn't better alone ('Til the light leaves my eyes)
Can't change the weather, might not be forever ('Til the day that I die)
But if it's forever, it's even better
[Post-Chorus]
I knew you in another life
You had that same look in your eyes
I love you, don't act so surprised
(But I wanna stay)
[Verse 1]
I want you to stay
'Til I'm in the grave
'Til I rot away, dead and buried
'Til I'm in the casket you carry

Normal
[Intro]
(Pero quiero quedarme)
[Verso 1]
Quiero que te quedes
Hasta que esté en la tumba
Hasta que me descomponga, muerta y enterrada
Hasta que esté en el ataúd que llevas
Si te vas, yo también me voy, uh
Porque siempre fuiste tú (Está bien)
Y si me estoy poniendo azul, por favor no me salves
No hay nada que perder sin mi bebé
[Estribillo]
Aves del mismo plumaje, deberíamos estar juntos, lo sé
Dije que nunca pensaría que no sería mejor sola
No puedo cambiar el clima, podría no ser para siempre
Pero si es para siempre, es aún mejor
[Pre-Coro]
Y no sé por qué estoy llorando
No creo que pueda amarte más
Podría no ser mucho tiempo, pero cariño, yo
[Coro]
Te amaré hasta el día en que muera
Hasta el día en que muera
Hasta que la luz deje mis ojos
Hasta el día en que muera
[Verso 2]
Quiero que veas, hm
Cómo me miras, hm
No lo creerías si te lo dijera
Guardarías los cumplidos que te hago
Pero estás tan lleno de mierda, uh
Dime que es un poco, oh
Di que no lo ves, tu mente está contaminada
Di que quieres dejarlo, no seas estúpido
[Pre-Coro]
Y no sé por qué estoy llorando
No creo que pueda amarte más
Podría no ser mucho tiempo, pero cariño, yo
No quiero decir adiós
[Coro]
Aves del mismo plumaje, deberíamos estar juntos, lo sé (Hasta el día en que muera)
Dije que nunca pensaría que no sería mejor sola (Hasta que la luz deje mis ojos)
No puedo cambiar el clima, podría no ser para siempre (Hasta el día en que muera)
Pero si es para siempre, es aún mejor
[Post-Coro]
Te conocí en otra vida
Tenías la misma mirada en los ojos
Te amo, no actúes tan sorprendido
(Pero quiero quedarme)

The recurring theme of 'forever' in the refrain underscores the timeless nature of their bond, suggesting that even if their time together is finite, the intensity of their love makes it eternal.
