Just a Little Girl
Embracing Childlike Faith
Lyrics
She's always tryin' to be
Expressing her attempt to be independent.
Some independent girl who is never in need
Describing her as a self-sufficient person.
But 20 years in this town
Highlighting the duration of her stay in the town.
She still relys on me to find her way around
Despite her independence, she relies on the speaker for guidance.
because she's just a little girl - time isn't holding her down
Emphasizing her youth and lack of constraints from time.
She's just a little girl - she never needed a crown
Reiterating her youthful and carefree nature.
She just wants somebody around
Expressing her desire for companionship.
Who won't laugh when she laughs too loud
Seeking someone who understands and accepts her joy.
She just wants somebody to see
Desiring acknowledgment and recognition from others.
She's just a little girl
Repeating the idea that she is just a young girl.
when I think too much
Sharing the speaker's tendency to overthink.
The voices in my head are silenced by her touch
Her touch has a calming effect on the speaker's thoughts.
She hates bein alone
Expressing her discomfort with solitude.
And babytalks to me when we're on the phone
Illustrating her need for communication, even on the phone.
because she's just a little girl - time isn't holding her down
Reiterating her carefree and timeless nature.
She's just a little girl - she never needed a crown
Highlighting her lack of desire for status or recognition.
She just wants somebody around
Desiring the presence of someone close.
Who won't laugh when she laughs too loud
Seeking acceptance for her exuberance.
She just wants somebody to see
Desiring visibility and acknowledgment from others.
She's just a little girl
Repeating the idea that she is just a young girl.
in a world that moves too fast
Expressing her feeling of being overwhelmed by a fast-paced world.
She's afraid she'll never last
Fearful of not enduring the challenges of life.
But if she holds the faith of a child
Encouraging her to maintain the innocence and trust of a child.
She'll be alright... she'll be alright
Assuring her that everything will be fine with childlike faith.
because she's just a little girl - time isn't holding her down
Reiterating her carefree and timeless nature.
She's just a little girl - she never needed a crown
Emphasizing her lack of desire for status or recognition.
She just wants somebody around
Desiring the presence of someone close.
Who won't laugh when she laughs too loud
Seeking acceptance for her exuberance.
She just wants somebody to see
Desiring visibility and acknowledgment from others.
She's just a little girl
Repeating the idea that she is just a young girl.
