Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Sweet little baby,
You don't have to go
Little baby
Tell me you won't go
We'd be so good together if we had the time
Bein' alone's a nowhere state of mind
Lovin' ain't no crime, oh no
I see your man ain't here
He don't care
The way of the night has gone
We'll move on
Got to find a way
To face another day
I search the world
For someone I'll never find
Someone who ain't
The hurtin' kind
If you stay the night
We'll make the wrong seem right
So come on now
Rock me
Rock me
Roll me through the night
Rock me
Rock me
Roll me through the night
Rock me
Rock me
Roll me through the night
We'll burn in love tonight
Sweet little baby
Oh don't you go
You ain't so innocent, I know
I know your heart's like mine, oh yeah
And I will find the time
To make you mine
And if your love goes bad
If it makes you sad
I'll be back for more
At your door
Rock me
Rock me
Roll me through the night
Rock me
Rock me
Roll me through the night
Rock me
Rock me
Roll me through the night
Before the mornin' light
We'll burn with love tonight
And when your man don't care
I will be there
Still be lovin' real good love
So baby now
Rock me
Rock me
Roll me through the night
Rock me
Rock me
Roll me through the night
Rock me
Rock me
Roll me through the night
There is no wrong or right
We'll burn with love
Rock me
Rock me
Roll me through the night
Rock me
Rock me
Roll me through the night
Rock me
Rock me
Roll me through the night
There is nothing left to do
But make sweet love to you
Come on and Rock me
You don't have to go
Little baby
Tell me you won't go
We'd be so good together if we had the time
Bein' alone's a nowhere state of mind
Lovin' ain't no crime, oh no
I see your man ain't here
He don't care
The way of the night has gone
We'll move on
Got to find a way
To face another day
I search the world
For someone I'll never find
Someone who ain't
The hurtin' kind
If you stay the night
We'll make the wrong seem right
So come on now
Rock me
Rock me
Roll me through the night
Rock me
Rock me
Roll me through the night
Rock me
Rock me
Roll me through the night
We'll burn in love tonight
Sweet little baby
Oh don't you go
You ain't so innocent, I know
I know your heart's like mine, oh yeah
And I will find the time
To make you mine
And if your love goes bad
If it makes you sad
I'll be back for more
At your door
Rock me
Rock me
Roll me through the night
Rock me
Rock me
Roll me through the night
Rock me
Rock me
Roll me through the night
Before the mornin' light
We'll burn with love tonight
And when your man don't care

Still be lovin' real good love
So baby now

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
Bitchin' Bass Line. I'm surpised this song never really took off.
