The first verse seems to basically be saying: I won't turn into a psycho/serial killer in order to feel good or for my emotional release or something like that. He also seems to direct this sentiment toward the mother and brother of the girl introduced in the second verse.
It felt to me like the second verse was about a girl he desires and in a kind of retro/traditional courtship way he's like: I'm going to give her a gold canary to win her over. He also says that there won't be the need to say anything because it will just be such a powerful gesture, which I don't know if it's correct or not, but it makes me laugh.
Then in the third verse/melody change I feel like he loses her, but he's kind of accepting about it i.e. "as my hands work on the birdcage, you disappear into the air". He appears to even want her "to fly away, fly today".
Could be completely wrong and I'm sure the cloud control guy has never even thought about such a deep interpretation, but that's what I felt listening to it!
