Little Brave
Lucy Rose Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

And I'd like to make plans with you
Is it enough I once did ask
Is it enough my promise last
Please don't leave 'til I say I care for you

And you like to protect yourself
Easier said than done you know
Better than most don't let it show

If I could I would say I care

Someway
Don't take forever will you
Someway
Come find my don't be too scared

Everybody knows you're guessing
Don't want you to wish it all away before it starts

I'll try to be good to you
Open my mind and let you in
The thought of your touch upon my skin
Please don't leave 'til I say I care

Someway
Don't take forever will you
Someway
Come find me don't be too scared

Everybody knows you're guessing
Don't want you to wish it all away before it starts

Take my hand
Won't you be a
Little brave
Come a little
Close to me

Be like this
Come on won't you
Take my hand
Won't you be a
Little brave
Come a little
Close to me
Is it gonna
Be like this

Don't take forever will you
Someway
Come find me don't be too scared
Someway
Don't take forever will you

Someway
Come find me don't be too scared

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Lucy Rose's song 'Little Brave' convey a sentiment of vulnerability and the fear of rejection that often comes with opening up to someone. The first verse speaks of a desire to make plans with someone and the need for affirmation that their past promises and efforts have been enough to keep the other person interested. The second verse describes the struggle of protecting oneself from potential emotional harm and the difficult task of being more open and expressive. The chorus begs the person to not take too long to come to a decision and to not let fear get in the way of pursuing a potential relationship. The repeated refrain of "little brave" serves as a reminder that sometimes it takes courage to let someone in and to allow oneself to be vulnerable.

Overall, the song has an introspective and melancholic feel that reflects the hesitancy and uncertainty that often accompanies romantic pursuits. It speaks of the underlying fears and insecurities that can affect even the most promising of connections and encourages the other person to take a chance and not let fear dictate their actions.
