Boy With A Coin Iron And Wine Lyrics

What do you think these lyrics mean?
Hey guys,
I was just wondering what you guys think this song is trying to say? The song is ‘Boy with a Coin’ by Iron And Wine. The lyrics are below, if you haven’t listened to the song before go to youtube and give it a listen, i’m interested to hear what you guys think.
LYRICS:
“A boy with a coin he found in the weeds
With bullets and pages of trade magazines
Close to a car that flipped on the turn
When God left the ground to circle the world
A girl with a bird she found in the snow
Then flew up her gown and that’s how she knows
That God made her eyes for crying at birth
Then left the ground to circle the Earth
A boy with a coin he crammed in his jeans
Then making a wish he tossed in the sea
Walked to a town that all of us burn
When God left the ground to circle the world”
well im guessing that the bird flying into the girl’s skirt thing seems to be about rape and pregnancy, or at least pregnancy. and the guy sounds like he is confused and that he wants god to get him on the right path or something. or it soudns like one of those people who goes and kills a bunch of people and then kills himself. like maybe god was watching him and then he left so he couldnt help him. or something.
just my guess- hope it helped!
