Bibia Be Ye Ye
FAMILY ROOM - Ed Sheeran Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I lost my shoes last night, I don't know where I put my keys
I was tired and fell asleep beneath an oak tree
I bet my mother's proud of me from each scar
Upon my knuckle and each graze upon my knee, and all I know
Is I got a cab and then threw up on his car seat
He kicked me out and then I walked in the rainI tell myself in every way, "I won't be doing this again"
And tomorrow's a brand new day
Someone told me, "always say what's on your mind"
And I am only being honest with you, I
I get lonely and make mistakes from time to time
So no man call ya, bibia be ye ye
Bibia be ye ye, ye ye ye ye
Bibia be ye ye
I remember less and less and mostly things that I regret
In my phone are several texts from girls I've never met
And in the pocket of my jeans are only coins and broken dreams
My heart is breaking at the seems and I'm coming apart now
Now things are looking up, I'll find my shoes right next to the oak tree
And I'll get a bus straight into town and spend the afternoon
Looking around for the things that I left on the ground
And say you're with me, tomorrow's a brand new day
Someone told me, "always say what's on your mind"
And I am only being honest with you, I
I get lonely and make mistakes from time to time
So no men call ya, bibia be ye ye
My momma (be ye ye)
My momma (be ye ye)
My momma (be ye ye)My momma (be ye ye)
My momma (be ye ye)
My momma (be ye ye)
My momma (be ye ye)
My momma (be ye ye)
Someone told me, "always say what's on your mind"
And I am only being honest with you, I
I get lonely and make mistakes from time to time
So no men call ya, bibia be ye ye
Bibia be ye ye, ye ye ye ye
Bibia be ye ye
My momma (be ye ye)
My momma (be ye ye) (bibia be ye ye, ye ye ye ye)
My momma (be ye ye)
Bibia be ye ye
My momma (be ye ye)
My momma (be ye ye)
My momma (be ye ye)
My momma (be ye ye)

I lost my shoes last night, I don't know where I put my keys
I made mistakes and lost track of important things in my life
I was tired and fell asleep beneath an oak tree
I felt exhausted and sought solace in nature
I bet my mother's proud of me from each scar
I believe my mother finds pride in my resilience and growth
Upon my knuckle and each graze upon my knee, and all I know
Symbolic of the challenges I've faced and the lessons I've learned
Is I got a cab and then threw up on his car seat
My mistakes led to consequences and uncomfortable situations
He kicked me out and then I walked in the rain
I faced rejection and had to find my own way through hardships
I tell myself in every way, "I won't be doing this again"
Reflecting on past experiences, I resolve to make better choices
And tomorrow's a brand new day
Looking forward to a fresh start and new opportunities
Someone told me, "always say what's on your mind"
Encouraged to express my thoughts and feelings openly
And I am only being honest with you, I
I aim to be transparent and sincere in my interactions
I get lonely and make mistakes from time to time
Acknowledging my own vulnerabilities and imperfections
So no man call ya, bibia be ye ye
Accepting my flaws and choosing to find joy in the journey
