Lyrics for Little Bird

Little Bird

(Ed Sheeran 2009)

Part 1:
If we take this bird in        
With its broken leg                                                              
We could nurse it                                                                
She said
Come inside
For a little lie down with me
If you fall asleep
It wouldn’t be the worst thing
But when I wake up
Your make-up is on my shoulder
And tell me, if I lie down
Would you stay now
And let me hold you?
Visuals:
In this first part the boy wakes up, looks at the girl, gets up and goes down stairs. He starts making a cup of tea then goes upstairs to get the girl up, she throughs a pillow at him which then cuts to them walkin downstairs for the tea. They sit drinking tea and smiling a each other, as the tea comes up it cuts to them getting ready.

Part 2:
But if I kissed you
Will your mouth read this truth
Darling, how I miss you
Strawberries taste how lips do
And it’s not complete yet
Mustn’t get our feet wet
Cos that leads to regret
Diving in too soon
And I’ll owe it all to you
My little bird
My little bird
Visuals:
the camera follows her as she's getting ready then they get up and go to the door. The two exit, with a cut behind the two of them as they walk away. different shots of the two walking away and walking together. They reach a park and run to the entrance.

Part 3:
If we take a walk out
In the morning dew
We could lay down
So I’m next to you
Come inside
For a little home-made tea
If you fall asleep
Then at least you’re next to me
And if I wake up
You see, it’s late, love
Go back to sleep
I’m covered by nature
And I’m safe now
Underneath this oak tree
With you beside me
Visuals:
There is low angle of the two walking towards the train station. This is followed by quick cuts of buying tickets and gettin onto the platform. Another low angle of the train as it comes in and the two jump on.
Part 4:
But if I kissed you
Will your mouth read this truth?
Darling, how I miss you
Strawberries taste how lips do
And it’s not complete yet
Mustn’t get our feet wet
Cos that leads to regret
Diving in too soon
And I’ll owe it all to you
My little bird
My little bird
Visuals:
The two get to the destination and there is a few shots of the two walking to the arcade. Once at the arcade the two go to the till. They then go into the arcade and start playing some of the games.

Part 5:
And of all these things
I’m sure of
I’m not quite certain
Of your love
And you made me scream
But then I made you cry
When I left that little bird
With its broken leg to die
Visuals:
A mix of shots follow of the two playing the games. With mix of angles showing the two playing games. they then make there way to he bowling.

Part 6:
But if I kissed you
Will your mouth read this truth
Darling, how I miss you
Strawberries taste like lips do
And it’s not complete yet
Mustn’t get our feet wet
Cos that leads to regret
Diving in too soon
And I’ll owe it all to you
My little bird
My little bird
You’re my little bird
Visuals:
as it says 'but if i kissed you' there is a clip of her kissing him on the cheek. the two exit the arcade and cuts to them in a cafe. it cuts back to them on the train again making theyre way home. as the sky has gone dark and the lights flash past the screen fades black and rewinds to the start.
