Ed Sheeran's Small Bump lyrics

We have chosen the indie art Ed Sheeran to use for our preparation music video, using and recreating the song and music video Small bump.

Here is what is included:

Opening five minutes of the music video include, 

You're just a small bump unborn in four months you're brought to life
You might be left with my hair but you'll have your mother's eyes
I'll hold your body in my hands, be as gentle as I can
But for now you're just a scan of my unmade plans 
A small bump in four months your brought to life 

And I'll whisper quietly and give you nothing but truth
If you're not inside me, I'll put my future in you 

It is important to consider the lyrics as the actor we plan to use for it needs know the lyrics in order to mouth the words so that we can match the audio with the clip to create a more realistic music video. We will be overlooking this as a script as well as our storyboard so we know what types of shots we need to take for example.
