what is the meaning for this song?

By

Flightless Bird, American Mouth – Iron & Wine

lyrics :
I was a quick wet boy, diving too deep for coins
All of your street light eyes wide on my plastic toys
Then when the cops closed the fair, I cut my long baby hair
Stole me a dog-eared map and called for you everywhere

Have I found you
Flightless bird, jealous, weeping or lost you, american mouth
Big pill looming

Now I’m a fat house cat
Nursing my sore blunt tongue
Watching the warm poison rats curl through the wide fence cracks
Pissing on magazine photos
Those fishing lures thrown in the cold
And clean blood of Christ mountain stream

Have I found you
Flightless bird, grounded, bleeding or lost you, american mouth
Big pill stuck going down

this is my fave song
but I don’t get it?
lmao

u know how people always say that when your a child everything is new and great until life and reality finds you

well this is what it means

a boy who loved life but then he got older and things happened like betrayal and anger and jelousy
and he wants to find happiness again like he was when he was little
