Son surnom vient de ses parents, qui lui ont donné lorsqu'elle était petite, car à l'heure du goûter, Jasmine ouvrait sa bouche comme un petit oiseau, « birdy » en anglais

Illuminates our skin

Stories of what we did

It made me think of you
It made me think of you

So far from where we are

Oh damn these walls

We’d remember tonight
For the rest of our lives

I’m in the foreign state
My thoughts they slip away

They caught an aeroplane

Just for the thought of you
