Lyrics:
I find shelter in this way
Under cover, hide away
Can you hear when I say
I have never felt this way

Maybe I had said something that was wrong
Can I make it better with the lights turned on
Maybe I had said something that was wrong
Can I make it better with the lights turned on

Could I be, was I there
It felt so crystal in the air
I still want to drown whenever you leave
Please teach me gently how to breathe

And I'll cross oceans like never before
So you can feel the way I feel it too

And I'll send images back at you
So you can see the way I feel it too

Maybe I had said something that was wrong
Can I make it better with the lights turned on
Maybe I had said something that was wrong
Can I make it better with the lights turned on

Maybe I had said something that was wrong
Can I make it better with the lights turned on
Maybe I had said something that was wrong
Can I make it better with the lights turned on

Maybe I had said something that was wrong
Can I make it better with the lights turned on

#Birdy #Shelter

[SpiritsEnchantments]

I think Birdy has a very old soul.. something dark and beautiful about her.

[StarlitSwamp]

I'm in love with the atmosphere this song conveys, the melancholic softness of the piano, and how the low, grayish light in the video fits perfectly. I wish I could enter that universe somehow, so I could walk slowly by myself in those deserted places and feel their peaceful charm emanating (and then probably fall asleep because this music is just so relaxing).

[nairamcoral]

Most of Birdy songs makes me cry. Especially this one. Am i the only one or ... ?

[OGmarzipan]

Birdy you have truly brought an amazing gift to this world. Using your beautiful voice that can make even the coldest heart feel something. Thank you for being a voice that inspires

[fallenangel]

This makes me cry every time but its so beautiful she has the voice of an angel 

[moldyboi]

Am i the only one who thinks she has a mystical ethereal charm sort of like a Grimm fairytale or what?

[stirbuqs]

I wish the generation I'm living in would spend more time caring about the little but beautiful things like these. The real music, it should be seen more.

[briansherrod]

Thank you Beyond the Lights. You have me playing this beautiful song over and over again.

"Shelter"

I find shelter, in this way
Under cover, hide away
Can you hear, when I say?
I have never felt this way

Maybe I had said, something that was wrong
Can I make it better, with the lights turned on
Maybe I had said, something that was wrong
Can I make it better, with the lights turned on

Could I be, was I there?
It felt so crystal in the air
I still want to drown, whenever you leave
Please teach me gently, how to breathe

And I'll cross oceans, like never before
So you can feel the way I feel it too
And I'll mirror images back at you
So you can see the way I feel it too

Maybe I had said, something that was wrong
Can I make it better, with the lights turned on
Maybe I had said, something that was wrong
Can I make it better, with the lights turned on

Maybe I had said, something that was wrong
Can I make it better, with the lights turned on

[H.J.G]

You can not deny this song is a hauntingly timeless classic.

[thesharinganbeast]

I find it amazing that she sung this at 15. She does not sound like 15 when she sings this.

[bolekik]

This album is a masterpiece, she's not a producer of these lyrics but all of these covers sounds better than originals. There is a huge emotional blow on my mind after listening her music.

[amerynpeters]

You know, with every song I listen to from this girl, I just fall more in love. She is fast becoming my favorite singer and I don't know why I haven't really heard of her up until a few months ago. What an angelic voice...<3

[nightingalegrayson]

Birdy brings light in my life. No one can do it like she does

[jean-louismenzago]

because when I heard this for the first time, I realized how amazing life can be, so I stopped being sad, well I just completely stopped being me and I discovered myself and now the only thing that you can see on my face is my lips who are smiling, and this I promise you is the best feeling in the world. So if you think that you will never make it better do not ever forget that you will always find your way. Do not care if it is going to take a month a year or more then that cause trust me ..well trust me or not you just will see!

[edwardharris]

Beautiful song always makes me think of my beautiful wife, who came in to my life at exactly the right time and saved me from myself and the self destructive path I was walking, the very 1st time I met her and she put her arms around me I knew she was the woman I was going to spend the rest of my life with, 4 years on and I love her so much, we were meant to be together, I'll never be able to repay her for what she did for me just by being herself, kind, caring and most of all she loves me for who I am..any haters who want to tell me my story is gay etc, etc don't bother yourselves writing a nasty reply I don't care I love my wife and am proud to be her husband..

[antarcticasflower]

OMG! This song wakes up strange feelings in me... This made me cry. Beautyful♥

[melinam]

I can not believe this song is 9 years old, I mean... I feel like this came out 5 years ago,

[luzrioja]

[jordanhalkier]

Her voice is like magic, the beauty of her voice is mind blowing :)
