If you're the bird whenever we pretend it's summer
Then I'm the worm, I know the part, it's such a bummer
But fair is fair, if my segments get separated
I'll scream and you'll be there
Close your eyes, close my eyes
Slide the cotton off of your shoulder
And feel the shine, feel the shine
I'm hooked so toss me over and cast a line, oh I'll try
Oh, throw a party and greet my undersea friends
It depends, as they arrive, if they arrive
You and I left our troubles far behind, troubles far behind
But I still have just one more question on my mind
For all my pals who live in the oceans and the seas
With friends like these well, who needs enemies
If I'm your boy, let's take a short cut we remember
And we'll enjoy, picking apples in late September
Like we've done for years
Then we'll take a long walk through the corn field
And I'll kiss you between the ears
[ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/the-bird-and-the-worm-lyrics-owl-city.html ]
If you're my girl, swirl me around your room with feeling
And as we twirl, the glow in the dark stars on your ceiling
Will shine for us, as love sweeps over the room
'Cause we tend to make each other blush, you make me blush
You and I left our troubles far behind, troubles far behind
But I still have just one more question on my mind
For all my pals who live in the oceans and the seas
With fronds like these well, who needs anemones?
You're the bird and I'm the worm and it's plain to see
That we were meant to be
We were meant to be
We were meant to be
If you're the bird
If you're the bird
Then I'm the worm
We were meant to be

This just means that he was eaten up by his love for the Bird. The phrase "we were meant to be" implies that their beautiful relationship was in the past and they would have gone on longer if she hadn't been exposing them to things that were destroying them.

@asdf: you're a #!@%*# idiot. they have the same title, but they're not the same song. maybe if you got your head out of your #!@%*# and learned to read you'd know that. plus, way to copy and paste the meaning of the used song from another website. no way you're smart enough to come up with that #!@%*#. i bet if i google it right now i'll find it. yup, there it is. good job. and another thing, you spelled "you" and "are" wrong douche-bag.

u guys r retarded The used wrote this song and this the real meaning of it. The main character is a paranoid schizophrenic, he is literally afraid that everyone is out to get him. With this interpretation we could see the horrific imagery in the video as a projection of the images he sees. The entire song is about a Jekyll/Hyde complex. A scene in the video portrays the main character in his apartment being sucked into a darker version of himself that he sees in the mirror. He then becomes attached to his darker self, and tries desperately to pull away. The lyrics lend an extra dimension to the entire thesis. The main character is "terrified" of the darker self inside of him, be it schizophrenia or simply his evil half, but doesn't know how to get rid of it. Throughout the song he is said to "crawl like a worm from a bird", this phrase's repetition is key to the interpretation. The main character attempts to remove the darkness under his own power, only to find himself weak, like a worm. In my mind, the second interpretation is more satisfying, since it portrays man as wanting desperately to find hope in a depraved world. It also portrays the darkness as more prominent than the light, which is true in our culture today.
