Small Bump Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Dream2Be 

Cover art for Small Bump lyrics by Ed Sheeran

First and foremost every element of this song is AMAZING. He basically states the hopes and expectations of a new born baby. He displays his joys and keen anticipation for the new born in the way that he states the child may hold on to him,depend on him , that he will exchange truth and honesty with the child and most importantly the fact that he is investing his future in the new born. Not too many layers within the song it is very straightforward and yet very profound. With a very sad ending. But all in all AMAZING.

My Interpretation

You got it all wrong. The song is about one of his friends loosing their baby.

This is a beautiful song. But I don't think it can be about someone else's baby ,mainly because of the "you may be left with my hair". Surely that marks him out as the father. Unless it's his sister maybe. Then her baby might have Sheeran family hair?

sparkleigh - that doesn't make dream2be wrong. He may be singing about his friend losing her baby (as stated in interviews, I'm not disagreeing with you there), but what better way to do that than to try and put himself in her shoes and reference the feelings he has or imagines he will have about having a baby?
