This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
What a performance tonight
Should I react or turn off the light?
Looks like you're picking a fight
In a blurring of wrong and right
But how your mood changes
You're a devil, now an angel
Suddenly subtle and solemn and silent as a monk
You only tell me you love me
When you're drunk
It's better than nothing
I suppose
Some doors have opened,
Others closed
But I couldn't see you exposed
To the horrors behind some of those
Somebody said: listen
Don't you know what
You're missing? You should be kissing him
Instead of dissing him like a punk
But you only tell me you love me
When you're drunk
But you only tell me you love me
When you're drunk
All of my friends keep asking me
Why, oh why
Do you not say goodbye?
If you don't even try
You'll be sunk
?Cause you only tell me you love me
When you're drunk
What's the meaning
When you speak with so much feeling?
Is it over when you're sober?
Am I junk?
You only tell me you love me
When you're drunk
But you only tell me you love me
When you're drunk
Should I react or turn off the light?
Looks like you're picking a fight
In a blurring of wrong and right
But how your mood changes
You're a devil, now an angel
Suddenly subtle and solemn and silent as a monk
You only tell me you love me
When you're drunk
It's better than nothing
I suppose
Some doors have opened,
Others closed
But I couldn't see you exposed
To the horrors behind some of those
Somebody said: listen
Don't you know what
You're missing? You should be kissing him
Instead of dissing him like a punk
But you only tell me you love me
When you're drunk
But you only tell me you love me
When you're drunk
All of my friends keep asking me
Why, oh why
Do you not say goodbye?
If you don't even try
You'll be sunk
?Cause you only tell me you love me
When you're drunk
What's the meaning
When you speak with so much feeling?
Is it over when you're sober?
Am I junk?
You only tell me you love me
When you're drunk
But you only tell me you love me
When you're drunk

“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
This song is pure genious. It's beautiful and the lyrics are amazing. This is my favorite song off of Nightlife, although "Vampires" is really good as well. As for the previous post, Neil is talking to his boyfriend about their relationship. He's talking about how when his partner is drunk, his stability wall crumbles and he lets out all these feelings he keeps inside, but when he's sober, it's all over and he's back to Mr. Stability who never wears his heart on his sleeve. I love this song, and I recommend it to everyone who likes good music!
