Ed Sheeran Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In four months you're brought to life
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
But for now you're a scan of my unmade plans
A small bump
In four months you're brought to life
And I'll whisper quietly
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
And 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
Ooh, you're just a small bump unknown
You'll grow into your skin
With a smile like hers
And a dimple beneath your chin
Fingernails 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
And I'll hold you tightly
I'll tell you nothing but truth
If you're not inside me
I'll put my future in you
You are my one and only
And 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
And you can lie with me
With your tiny feet
When you're 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
And you can wrap your fingers 'round my thumb
And hold me tight
You are my one and only
You can wrap your fingers 'round my thumb
And hold me tight
And you'll be alright
'Cause 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
In Ed Sheeran's song Small Bump, the lyrics describe the emotional journey of an expecting father who is anticipating the birth of his child. He talks about the hopes and dreams he has for his child, envisioning what they will look like and imagining how their personality will be. He speaks to the small bump in his partner's belly and whispers softly, promising to provide nothing but truth to his child. He describes how he will hold his child tenderly, acknowledging that they are currently just a scan of his unmade plans. As the months go by, he talks about how his child will grow into their skin with a smile that resembles their mother's and a dimple beneath their chin. In the end, he promises to keep his child safe and with love surrounding them at all times.
The lyrics of Small Bump capture the essence of the emotional journey of an expectant parent. It captures the feeling of anticipation, love, and the hopes and dreams that new parents have for their child. As the father describes his child's physical appearance and personality, he paints a picture of how he envisions his child to be. The repetition of the lines, "You are my one and only" and "And you'll be alright," emphasize the father's love and his promise to protect his child. The song ends on a poignant note, with the acknowledgment that life is uncertain and the father does not know why his child was "needed up there."
