Little Bird
Ed Sheeran Lyrics

If we take this bird in
If we care for this injured bird

With its broken leg
The bird is injured and in need of attention

We could nurse it
We can take care of the bird

She said
She proposed the idea of nursing the bird

Come inside for a little lie down with me
Let's rest together for a while

And if you fall asleep
If you happen to fall asleep

It wouldn't be the worst thing
It wouldn't be a bad thing

But when I wake up
When I wake up from our nap

Your make-up is on my shoulder
Your make-up rubbed off onto my shoulder while we slept

And tell me, if I lie down
If I lay down next to you

Would you stay now and let me hold you? Oh
Would you stay with me and let me hold you?

But if I kiss you
If I were to kiss you

Will your mouth read this truth?
Will you be able to sense my true feelings?

Darling, how I miss you
My dear, I long for you

Strawberries taste how lips do
The taste of strawberries is reminiscent of the taste of your lips

And it's not complete yet
This situation isn't fully resolved

Mustn't get our feet wet
We need to be careful

'Cause that leads to regret
Impulsive actions can lead to negative consequences

Diving in too soon
Acting too quickly

And I'll owe it all to you, oh
I'll owe any mistakes to you

My little bird
My dear one

If we take a walk out
If we go for a walk outside

In the morning dew
Early in the morning while the grass is still wet with dew

We could lay down
We could rest in the grass

So I'm next to you
I could be close to you

Come inside for a little home-made tea
Let's make some tea inside

If you fall asleep
If you happen to fall asleep

Then at least you're next to me
At least we'll be together

And if I wake up
If I wake up from our nap

You see, it's late, love
It's getting late, my dear

Go back to sleep
Go back to sleep beside me

I'm covered by nature
The surroundings provide natural cover

And I'm safe now
I feel safe with you

Underneath this oak tree
Beneath this sturdy tree

With you beside me
With your presence next to mine

And of all these things
With all of this going on

I'm sure of
I'm certain

I'm not quite certain
I'm unsure

Of your love
Of your feelings for me

And you made me scream
You made me feel so much that I had to scream

But then I made you cry
But then I made you feel so much that you cried

When I left that little bird
When I abandoned our initial plan of caring for the bird

With its broken leg to die
Leaving the bird to likely die with its injury

My little bird, woah-oh-oh, oh-oh
My dear one

You're my little bird
You're my dear one
