Ed Sheeran Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You might be left with my hair, but you'll have your mother's eyes
I'll hold your body in my hands be as gentle as I can
And now your scan on my unmade plans
Small bump, in four months you're brought to life
I'll hold you tightly, I'll give you nothing but truth
If you're not inside me, I'll put my future in you
You are my one, and only
You can wrap your fingers round my thumb and hold me tight
Oh you are my one, and only
You can wrap your fingers round my thumb and hold me tight
And you'll be alright
You're just a small bump unknown and you’ll grow into your skin
With a smile like hers and a dimple beneath your chin
(Oh) Finger nails the size of a half grain of rice
And eyelids closed to be soon opened wide a small bump
In four months you'll open your eyes
I'll hold you tightly, I'll give you nothing but truth
If you're not inside me, I'll put my future in you
You are my one, and only
You can wrap your fingers round my thumb and hold me tight
Oh you are my one, and only
You can wrap your fingers round my thumb and hold me tight
And you'll be alright
You can lie with me, with your tiny feet when your half asleep
I'll leave you be
Right in front of me for a couple weeks
So I can keep you safe
'Cause you are my one, and only
You can wrap your fingers round my thumb and hold me tight
Oh you are my one, and only
You can wrap your fingers round my thumb and hold me tight
And you'll be alright
You were just a small bump unborn, for four months then torn from life
Maybe you were needed up there but we're still unaware as why
The lyrics of "Small Bump" speak about the anticipation and love of a father for his unborn child, a small bump that will soon come to life. In the first stanza, the father imagines holding his child's body in his hands and how he will be gentle with them. He acknowledges that the child may inherit his hair but will definitely have their mother's eyes. He then reflects on how their scan has disrupted his unmade plans. Despite this, the father expresses his love and promises to hold the child tightly and give them nothing but truth.
The chorus states that the child is his one and only, and they can wrap their tiny fingers around his thumb and hold him tight. The father reassures the child that they will be alright as they grow and develop, with a smile like their mother's and fingernails the size of half a grain of rice. The second verse speaks about the father's desire to keep his child safe, to be there for them and to leave them be when they sleep. The father acknowledges that the child will be his one and only, and he will do everything in his power to protect them.
The final stanza examines the bittersweet reality that not all unborn children are brought to life. The child may have been needed somewhere else, and they are still unsure why. The lyrics show the love and tenderness a father has for his unborn child, providing a glimpse into the hope, love, and pain that comes with pregnancy, whether it ends in a birth or not.

You might inherit some of my features, but your eyes will be like your mother's

Finger nails the size of a half grain of rice
Your fingernails are just starting to grow, and they're as tiny as half a grain of rice
And eyelids closed to be soon opened wide a small bump
Your eyes are closed now, but they will soon open wide after your birth
You can lie with me, with your tiny feet when your half asleep
You can rest with me, with your small feet next to mine, while you're half-asleep
I'll leave you be right in front of me for a couple weeks
I'll spend time just watching you and letting you rest near me for a few weeks
So I can keep you safe
I'll do whatever it takes to keep you protected and secure
You were just a small bump unborn, for four months then torn from life
You were once a small bump inside me, but you were tragically taken away from life after four months
Maybe you were needed up there but we're still unaware as why
Perhaps you were needed more in a higher place, but we still don't understand the reason behind your passing

I just discovered your channel, your videos are amazing. When you say " if you serve 3 or 4 different cities for carpet cleaning you want to have 3 different pages for those cities" what pages are you referring to? Sorry, I'm a beginner here :)
John Braun
You want a carpet cleaning page for each city. One for carpet cleaning in XYZ city, one for carpet cleaning in AAA city, and one for carpet cleaning in TYY city. Make sense?
Ena Lara
Yes, thank you John
John Braun
My Pleasure.

@John Braun so if your company was called Hi-Shine.. You would have to buy a domain for HiShinecolorado.com and another for HiShinecincinatti.com. Or do you just manage your SEO for each city/state?
I looked up your dominoes example but don't see this being the case. I was just directed to dominoes.com and was given the option to select a store near me.
One other url option from the Google search was www.pizza.dominoes/jacksonville.com. Not www.dominoes/jacksonville.com. Is this last option what we should shoot for.. Say try to find a domain name of : www.Hi-Shine. Colorado.com and Hi-Shine.cinncinatti.com.?
Thanks for the video and any reply.
J B
Also what happens when you want to include a service that's not in your business name or description.. Do you have to create a whole brand new website for. That one thing or are there SEO techniques to add a service and incorporate it into your existing website?
Thanks Again!
John Braun
Just create other pages on your site and properly keyword those pages.
J B
@John Braun okay so on site keywords will direct Google to your page is what I am understanding, thanks!
