Just like me.. they long to be.... close to you...
A Why do birds suddenly appear

B Just like me...

every time you walk by?
B Just like me...
They long to be...
Close to you...

A That is why all the boys in town
Follow you all around
B Just like me
They long to be > repeat and fade
Close to you... /
