I definitely agree with what MissSapias said. It's like a nursery rhyme lyrically. These schoolyard word choices, set the scene to and tell us where the song takes place.
The first stanza basically describes your first crush. You can't explain why, but you're just crazy for her!
The second stanza reminds me of when I had a my first crush on this girl and all the other kids made fun of me for it, even though they had crushes too. That plot didn't make sense to me. They had no clue. I was howlin' for her!
The third stanza further prooves my hypothesis because to mock means to make fun of someone or something. And kids are small and have high voices, so they can easily be compared to birds.
All I can get out of the forth stanza is that the singer is telling the other kids to just go play baseball and stop making fun of him and to let him be with his crush.
It's kinda silly, but that's what I see in it. Maybe he was just using the schoolyard scenario to symbolize a current situation in his life. I don't know... Anyway, that's my literal interpretation. :)
