about

It's about love with an expiry date.

lyrics

I wanna feel you exhale my name into the back of my neck
And I wanna hear you breathe into my hair
I'm a little bird, you're big red
You're a fox, I am little robin redbreast
Let's hunt for worms, let's make a nest at the bottom on the garden

Do you know that flies only mate once in their lives
I am sorry but I cannot love you like they do

And I wanna feel your arms wrapped around me from behind
And I wanna go to sleep with your hands holding mine
I'm a little bird, you're a fox
Big red and all the girls run amok
Let's dig a hole, under the fence at the bottom of the garden

Do you know that flies only mate once in their lives
I am sorry but I cannot love you like they do

Baby can't you see
It's not me and it sure as hell ain't you
Baby can't you see,
We cannot love like insects do
So I'll commit petty crimes
Every day and every night
I'll litter so I can come back as a fly
And love you like they do

Like the insects do.
