Lyrics
Little bird
Feeling small or insignificant
Hoppin' on my porch
Approaching my space or life
I know it sounds kinda sad
Acknowledging a sense of melancholy
But what's it all for?
Questioning the purpose or meaning of it all
Right now you're the only friend I have in the world
Expressing loneliness and the value of companionship
And I just can't take out very much
Unable to derive much joy or satisfaction
Goddamn
Exclaiming frustration or disappointment
I miss that girl
Longing for someone special
Little bird
Reiteration of the metaphorical "Little bird"
You look all right
Commenting on the appearance of the bird
I'm sure it's not easy
Acknowledging the difficulties faced by the bird
Gettin' through your night
Encouraging communication and sharing of struggles
So tell me this can't be how it's gonna end
Expressing hopelessness and questioning the outcome
Tell me my heart
Asking about the condition of the speaker's heart
Somehow
Believing that somehow the heart will heal
Dear God
Addressing a higher power for assistance
Is gonna mend
Expressing a desire for healing or resolution
Little bird
Reiteration of the metaphorical "Little bird"
I guess you're right
Acknowledging the bird's perspective as correct
Can't let her take me out
Resolving to resist a negative outcome
Without a fight
Committing to a struggle or resistance
But right now I can't see making sense of this world
Expressing difficulty in understanding the world
I just can't take out very much
Unable to find much joy or satisfaction currently
Goddamn
Exclaiming frustration or disappointment again
I miss that girl
Reiterating the longing for the missing person
