How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Look up, look where you want to be
Look left, look where you left me
I should have known by the ice in his eye
But you warmed me up with your so sweet demise
Nestled in your calculated moon shine
Boy you give good,
Love, plastic love, you're a genuine wannabe
And you got it all up your blue sleeve, your sleeve
Love, plastic love, you're a genuine wannabe
And you got it all up your blue sleeve, but me
Papa oh Papa tonight, Papa oh ill be alright
Look left, look where you want to be
Look up, look where you left me
I should have known by the ice in his eye
But you warmed me with your so sweet demise
Nestled in your calculated moon shine
Boy you give good,
Love, plastic love, you're a genuine wannabe
And you got it all up your blue sleeve, you're sleeve
Love, plastic love, you're a genuine wannabe
And you got it all up your blue sleeve..but me
Papa oh Papa tonight, Papa oh ill be alright
Look left, look where you left me
I should have known by the ice in his eye
But you warmed me up with your so sweet demise
Nestled in your calculated moon shine
Boy you give good,
Love, plastic love, you're a genuine wannabe
And you got it all up your blue sleeve, your sleeve
Love, plastic love, you're a genuine wannabe
And you got it all up your blue sleeve, but me
Papa oh Papa tonight, Papa oh ill be alright
Look left, look where you want to be
Look up, look where you left me
I should have known by the ice in his eye
But you warmed me with your so sweet demise
Nestled in your calculated moon shine
Boy you give good,
Love, plastic love, you're a genuine wannabe
And you got it all up your blue sleeve, you're sleeve
Love, plastic love, you're a genuine wannabe
And you got it all up your blue sleeve..but me
Papa oh Papa tonight, Papa oh ill be alright
