This Little Bird Lyrics

This little bird has a wanderlust
Yes I am going to see everything
I'm gonna feel, I'm gonna understand
Something here, something good

In a land, in a different ocean
Same idea, but different sea
Just to have you lying next to me

Oh I'll be dancing in the fire,
You'll be laughing at the stars
We'll be shouting from the buildings
We'll be waving at the cars
That pass us by
As we stand here as time goes around us
We are steady in this moment
Oh, time doesn't seem to phase us at all...

This little bird's flying east for the winter
And you may think that
My navigational equipment is out of order
But I know exactly what I'm doing
And yes I know exactly where I'm going

To a corner in the east
After travelling so far
Just to be with you, just to be where you are

Oh I'll be dancing in the fire,
You'll be laughing at the stars
We'll be shouting from the buildings
We'll be waving at the cars
That pass us by
As we stand here as time goes around us
We are steady in this moment
Oh, time doesn't seem to move us at all
From where we are

We are standing in this moment,
No, time...

This little bird's gonna see
The good life has to offer
And how you can give your heart and still feel free...

It's a song about a joyous reunion between lovers. Nothing much else to read into the song.

Absolutely. In concert, she says this is the most "obvious" lyric she's written. One of her only straight-up love songs.
