Best Shot
Birdy & Jaymes Young Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When your heart's a mess though you've given your best
I'll be here giving it my best shot baby your loves got more then I need
Here crying from the rooftops
Nothing can stop us if we believe
Here giving it my best shot baby I find that we can be free
When you're here with me
When your sky is dark and the earth is shaking your bed
Your hope is at its end you just need one friend
I'll be here giving it my best shot baby your loves got all that I need
Here crying from the rooftops
Nothing can stop us if we believe
Here giving it my best shot baby I find that we can be free
When you're here with me
When you cant find you're way and all around you walks as deep and grey
The stars fall from above and you're barely holding on my love (on my love)
Giving it my best shot baby your loves got all that I need
Here crying from the rooftops
Nothing can stop us if we believe
Here giving it my best shot baby I find that we can be free
When you're here with me
The lyrics of "Best Shot" by Birdy and Jaymes Young are about being there for someone you love during their darkest moments. The song talks about how the person you love may feel lost, helpless, or as if they've given their best but everything is still a mess. The singer assures the person that they will be there to do their best for them, to love them more than they need, and to cry from the rooftops that they will overcome any obstacle if they believe it. The chorus conveys the message that the singer will do their best for the person they love, and they will both be free when they are together. The song talks about how love is an anchor in difficult times when you need one friend, and you can barely hold on, and it's all that you need.
The lyrics present a picture of a committed and compassionate partner who is ready to go through thick and thin with the person they love. They promise to help the person navigate the uncertainties of life and overcome their fears, and they will be there to catch them when they fall. However, the lyrics are ambiguous and don't provide a clear context of what the person might be going through, but it's assumed that it could be mental health issues, depression, anxiety, or any other personal struggles. The song's poetic language showcases the beauty and power of human connection and love, providing a heartfelt assurance that the person is not alone.
