Hold my heavy bones
替我扛下重担
They weigh me down
压得我无法喘息
Weigh me down

When you are gone
若你不在我身旁
When you’re gone
若你不在我身旁

If you start to fade
若你感到威胁
I will keep you safe
我会保护你
Like you do
像你保护我一样
And if you feel afraid
若你担心害怕
I will keep your faith
我会守护你
Like you do
像你守护我一样
Ooh

[Chorus]

Birdy – Lifted

Lifted 这首歌的歌词应该还满好理解的，主要诉说心爱的人带给自己的温暖、保护，让自己摆脱黑暗与梦魇。这样的歌词内容在 Beautiful Lies 专辑中算是很正面的了，难得有一首歌是不提及分手、破碎的感情、假装两人之间没有问题等等。Lifted 轻快明朗，但又不至于像 Keeping Your Head Up 一样活泼，是这个专辑中我最喜欢的快歌。

不知道大家有没有觉得 Birdy 的 Beautiful Lies 专辑有几首歌风格和以前不太一样，最明显的像是 Growing Pain 和 Hear You Calling 两首，曲风有点传统东方色彩，另外还加了不少电子元素，还没听到歌词以前还真的差点以为是东洋音乐，跟之前的曲风差别甚大，算是一个很大胆的尝试。Growing Pain 和 Hear You Calling 两首歌多了几分妩媚，不过个人还是比较喜欢像这首 Lifted 或是 Beautiful Lies 那样的曲风，虽然一首是快歌、一首是慢歌，但同样给人一种很安心、疗愈的感觉。
