lyrics

Verse 1
Old birds are hard to pluck
Just ask those that came before us
We crows like shiny things
Just ask those with the diamond rings

Pre-Chorus
But we still fall in love
Thanks lucky stars and
Hope the world will go
Exactly as we planned

Verse 2
Some of us plant our seeds not looking to harvest
There’s enough joy, just ask the rose
Some of us will never grow up, never grow old
Just ask those that tell us to do so

Pre-Chorus
But we still fall in love
Thanks lucky stars and
Hope the world can hold
Our rosy colored glow

Chorus 1
You hope that you wanna
You hope that you wanna
You hope that you’re willing to change (you hope that you wanna change)
You hope that you wanna
You hope that you wanna
You hope that you’re willing to change (you hope that you wanna change)

Verse 2
Old birds forgot to fly
Just ask those that look to the sky
Some of us are afraid to fail, afraid to fall
Just ask those that never tried at all

Pre-Chorus
But we still fall in love
Thanks lucky stars and
Hope the world can hold …

Chorus 2
You hope that you wanna
You hope that you wanna
You hope that you’re willing to change (you hope that you wanna change)
You hope that you wanna
You hope that you wanna
You hope that you’re willing to change (you hope that you wanna change)
That you wanna listen, that you wanna change
That you wanna listen, that you wanna change
You hope that you’re willing to change (you hope that you wanna change)
That you wanna listen, that you wanna change
That you wanna listen, that you wanna change
You hope that you’re willing to change (you hope that you wanna change)

Musical interlude and key change

Chorus 3
You hope that you wanna
You hope that you wanna
You hope that you’re willing to change (you hope that you wanna change)
You hope that you wanna
You hope that you wanna
You hope that you’re willing to change (you hope that you wanna change)
That you wanna listen, that you wanna change
That you wanna listen, that you wanna change
You hope that you’re willing to change (you hope that you wanna change)
That you wanna listen, that you wanna change
That you wanna listen, that you wanna change
You hope that you’re willing to change (you hope that you wanna change)
