Alright, this song is about a guy who really likes this girl and she really couldnt care less it seems.
What did you say to me?
I'm not a novelty.
You're playing revelry
but no one's listening.
here, when he asks "what did you say to me?" he's being very literal, she probably just said they can only be friends and that hurt him. Then he says he's not just some cut out copy of a guy(novelty)."Your playing revelry" means she's faking how easy it is to feel good around him and "but no one's listening" means no one but him has noticed it.
I am a simple man,
without a simple plan.
Let's make it easy
and just get out while we can.
These lines are very literal as well, he's a simple guy and he doesnt know what to do about his feelings so he wants to bail and get out while he can even though he knows he cant.
And I'm the one you want.
Hey Ladybug,
you were always on the mind of everyone.
Ladybug,
you're pathetic and I said it more than once.
Ladybug,
I believe you couldn't reach me where I am,
Where my feet won't hit the ground.
The chorus is him saying that he's the right guy for her (the one you want). Then he says that she's always on everyone's mind, she's obviously very desirable. Him saying that he constantly calls her pathetic is his attempt to fool himself into thinking that he hasnt fallen for her and that there is nothing special about her. Then he says that he never thought he would feel this way about her, thought he was above it all, then he fell for her.
The time is passing by.
You're my insecticide.
The pressures on our eyes
and now I untie.
Now he's saying that the days go by yet he feels the same, she his "insecticide", she's poisoned him. The pressure's on his eyes is all the feelings that are making him crumble or "untie".
Beautiful little bird,
I'll fix your broken wings.
I'll let you lie here till you
fly away from me.
The reference to a beautiful bird is that birds are free and independent, much like her, she's also the most beautiful thing he can think of. Then he says that he'll "fix her broken wings" or be there when she is hurt or needs him and he'll protect and guide her until she "flys away" from him or doesnt need him anymore which he knows is inevitable.
The Chorus is repeated
What did you say to me?
I'm only here to clip your wings.
You cut me down to size.
I'm only living my life.
Again, she said something that hurt him, most likely in response to him trying to "clip her wings" or have her be exclusive to him. So she told him what she thought of that and that cut him down pretty good. He says he's only trying to survive this thing with her(live his life).
Then the chorus is repeated and he dwells on the fact that he thought he was safe from feeling this way, that he was above it all so the final line is repeated to emphasize that.
