You are but a phoenix among feathers You're broken by the waves among the sea They'll let you die, they'll let you wash away But you swim as well as you fly Pretty little bird, pretty little bird You've hit the window a few times (the window a few times) You're pretty little bird, pretty little bird You still ain't scared of no heights When the spiral down feels as good as the flight When hating you feels good for the night When the morning comes, I hope you're still mine When the morning comes If the morning comes When the morning comes If the morning comes (when the morning comes, I hope you're still mine) When the morning comes If the morning comes Told you I like gentle giants so you softened up And you've been jack'n, bean'n, stalk'n just to get to me love I wanna be your golden goose I wanna shave my legs for you I wanna take all of my hair down and let you lay in it Spread all of my limbs out and let you lay in it Pretty little birds, pretty little birds Do you mean every word, you mean every word? (do you mean?) Pretty little girls, pretty little girls We hit the window a few times Lately, I feel like I'm robbin' myself Like I'm robbin' mines Diamond cerebral peek into your cortex Be faithful and free and just play in your vortex I see you lying and you fly by the pound Fly by the ounce Fly to the south Don't mind them bitches that's cleanin' my house Lord, you can see, lord You can see heights that niggas can't afford I see them lights and you look for that shit Fuck all that playin', you pray for that shit But my wings don't spread like they used to But I wanna fly with you ('Til we hit the heavens) but my wings don't spread like they used to But I wanna fly with you 'Til we hit the heavens 'Til we hit the heavens
Tariro Rudenya yeah, like at some point, before I die, they need to make at least one song together. Ideally an album longer than 12 songs, but at least a song. That would be sooooooo wild
This song is amazing by itself but when I’m high it’s like a whole other universe. Especially Isaiahs part it’s amazing. This song is so unappreciated Issa bop
6 yrs later this song is still astronomically good
"My wings don't spread like they used to but I wanna fly with you...."
best moment on the song
I like what she says after that
My favorite line osrs
Till we hit the heavens 🎶
you’ve hit the window a few times

You still ain't scared of no heights
When the spiral down feels as good as the flight up

You are but a phoenix among feathers
You're broken by the waves among the sea
They'll let you die, they'll let you wash away
But you swim as well as you fly
Pretty little bird, pretty little bird
You've hit the window a few times (the window a few times)
You're pretty little bird, pretty little bird
You still ain't scared of no heights
When the spiral down feels as good as the flight
When hating you feels good for the night
When the morning comes, I hope you're still mine
When the morning comes
If the morning comes
When the morning comes
If the morning comes (when the morning comes, I hope you're still mine)
When the morning comes
If the morning comes
Told you I like gentle giants so you softened up
And you've been jack'n, bean'n, stalk'n just to get to me love
I wanna be your golden goose
I wanna shave my legs for you
I wanna take all of my hair down and let you lay in it
Spread all of my limbs out and let you lay in it
Pretty little birds, pretty little birds
Do you mean every word, you mean every word? (do you mean?)
Pretty little girls, pretty little girls
We hit the window a few times
Lately, I feel like I'm robbin' myself
Like I'm robbin' mines
Diamond cerebral peek into your cortex
Be faithful and free and just play in your vortex
I see you lying and you fly by the pound
Fly by the ounce
Fly to the south
Don't mind them bitches that's cleanin' my house
Lord, you can see, lord
You can see heights that niggas can't afford
I see them lights and you look for that shit
Fuck all that playin', you pray for that shit
But my wings don't spread like they used to
But I wanna fly with you
('Til we hit the heavens) but my wings don't spread like they used to
But I wanna fly with you
'Til we hit the heavens
'Til we hit the heavens
just daydreaming about an SZA and Jhene Aiko collaboration. My ears would fly up into heaven, I can't imagine!!!
Jhené don't collaborate with other women
quarles09 uh yes she does lol
Breanna West sure would love to hear it
quarles09 Yuna & Jhene Aiko- Used to Love You
Tariro Rudenya yeah, like at some point, before I die, they need to make at least one song together. Ideally an album longer than 12 songs, but at least a song. That would be sooooooo wild
3:39 this part just hit different 🌸✨💕
This song really touches me in a way no other song does or has . It grounds me, it’s been years and I still does
Got 2 exams today so I only have time to listen to one song. Obviously picked the one with Zay
Liam D Good luck with exams 👊🏾🙏🏿

Every song...wtf is happening to me? I have things to do, but can't stop listening to this album.
She is underrated. Her music , lyrics , the instruments. Classic.
this song is so underrated but it’s one of the most beautiful songs i have ever heard 🥺💞
She went from "I wanna shave my legs for you" to "I'm sorry I don't shave my legs at night" BABY SZA WHO HURT YOU
Lesslie Reyes Or the other way around? Because Drew Barrymore comes before Pretty little birds on the album?
a libra
Drake 😂
still here this album never gets old
when the morning comes i hope you’re still mine.. ☁️
This song is amazing by itself but when I’m high it’s like a whole other universe. Especially Isaiahs part it’s amazing. This song is so unappreciated Issa bop

But I wanna fly with you... 🔥
I probably played this song 300 times in a row when I first heard it. Looped it for a week. Its soo good.
This will forever be my favorite sza song
This song is the closest on CTRL to sounding like her music from past projects. I love them all, but just something I noticed.
SZAY (SZA +Zay) NEEDS TO BECOME A THING AND MULTIPLE FULL LENGTH PROJECTS NEED TO BE RELEASED
Camboy GW i fully condone and support this 😂
Camboy GW forreal on some Twenty88 shit. Their chemistry is amazing. No bad tracks from these niggas.
this song is so underrated
I dont think im capable of negative emotions anymore since i found out that her whole album is out now😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤❤
H
Tia Kusi SAME
