For The Birds
Earlimart Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'll watch over you from above
Watch with signs of your love
And heaven's not the same in the rain
It's just a sad old tale like today

But i'm already in your heart
Said i'm already in your heart
Then i knew right from the start
That i'm already in your heart

Well it's getting late, we should stay here
But you're on the phone, miles away
And though i know it's not the same
We can fall asleep, dream of ways

But you're already in my heart
Said you're already in my heart




And i knew right from the start
That you're already in my heart

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Earlimart's song "For The Birds" describe a relationship between two people who are physically distant but still connected through their love for each other. The singer of the song promises to "watch over" their loved one from above and mentions the difficulty of feeling happy in the face of sadness and rain. However, they reassure their partner that they are already in their heart, and that they knew this from the beginning. The song creates a sense of longing and bittersweetness, as the two lovers are separated by distance but still find comfort in the idea of each other's presence.


The lyrics of "For The Birds" contain a number of interesting interpretations that can help listeners understand the meaning of the song. For example, the repeated phrase "already in your heart" suggests that the singer and their partner have a deep, longstanding connection that transcends physical boundaries. The fact that the song's protagonist promises to "watch over" their partner from above also creates a sense of poetic, almost spiritual connection between the two people.


Additionally, the imagery of rain recurs throughout the song, creating a sense of melancholy and sadness. The idea of rain as a "sad old tale" that makes heaven less pleasant reinforces the idea that the two lovers are struggling to find happiness in difficult circumstances.


Line by Line Meaning

I'll watch over you from above
I will protect and look after you from a higher position


Watch with signs of your love
Observe and recognize signals of your affection


And heaven's not the same in the rain
The idea of a paradise is ruined by bad weather


It's just a sad old tale like today
Similar to a uncheerful story about today's life


But i'm already in your heart
I have already made a place for myself in your heart


Said i'm already in your heart
Reminding that I have already made a place for myself in your heart


Then i knew right from the start
At the beginning, I already recognized


That i'm already in your heart
That I had already made a place for myself in your heart


Well it's getting late, we should stay here
It's becoming late, we should remain in this place


But you're on the phone, miles away
But you are on the phone, far away from me


And though i know it's not the same
Even though I recognize it's not identical


We can fall asleep, dream of ways
We can slumber and fantasize about possibilities


But you're already in my heart
But you have already made a place for yourself in my heart


Said you're already in my heart
Reminding that you have already made a place for yourself in my heart


And i knew right from the start
And I was aware at the beginning


That you're already in my heart
That you had already made a place for yourself in my heart
