I don't care where you go
As long as it's with me

& I don't mind just what you do
As long as it's with me too

We'll I get told to never get old
But the way it unfolds
I'm a little garçon in my head
With a little fille that's stuck in bed

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Little Garçon" by Born Ruffians convey the sentiment of wanting to be with someone, no matter where they go or what they do. The singer doesn't care about the particulars of the situation, as long as they are together. This is a reflection of a desire for intimacy and connection, rather than any external factors. The lines "I'm a little garçon in my head / With a little fille that's stuck in bed" add an element of vulnerability to the song, suggesting that the singer is still in a state of emotional immaturity, and may be looking for someone to help them grow and mature.

There's a sense of urgency in the lyrics, with the singer feeling like they don't want to miss out on the moment, and that time is fleeting. This is emphasized through the line "I get told to never get old", which speaks to the idea that we all have a limited amount of time on this earth, and we should make the most of it. Overall, "Little Garçon" is a song that celebrates the beauty and simplicity of human connection, and the joy that comes from being with someone who truly understands you.

Line by Line Meaning

I don't care where you go
I am completely indifferent to your destination

As long as it's with me
As long as I am included in your plans

I don't mind just what you do
I am open to any activity you propose

As long as it's with me too
As long as I can participate as well

We'll I get told to never get old
People advise me to avoid getting old

But the way it unfolds
Despite this advice, life happens in unexpected ways

I'm a little garçon in my head
Mentally, I feel like a little boy

With a little fille that's stuck in bed
There is a young girl in my mind who is unable to join us
