This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
So you think you've found the one
And she knows just how you feel
And you say that she's for real and she's fun
Well, that's all well and good
That's just the way it should be
To understand and be understood is to be free
So I think that you should go
Go on ahead
Take her in your arms and be wed
Go go go go go you restless soul
You're going to find it
Go go go go go you restless soul
You're going to find it
Life's a bowl of cherries
You can have as many as you can carry
And someone once said that life was like a cow
But I don't know how that applies
But anyhow here we are all on this planet
Taking everything for granted
But I think you've caught on to something
Don't let go
Go go go go go you restless soul
You're going to find it
Go go go go go you restless soul
You're going to find it
Oh, yes you will, you found it
Oh, yes you did, you found it
Oh, yes you did, you found it
And she knows just how you feel
And you say that she's for real and she's fun
Well, that's all well and good
That's just the way it should be
To understand and be understood is to be free
So I think that you should go
Go on ahead
Take her in your arms and be wed
Go go go go go you restless soul
You're going to find it
Go go go go go you restless soul
You're going to find it
Life's a bowl of cherries
You can have as many as you can carry
And someone once said that life was like a cow
But I don't know how that applies
But anyhow here we are all on this planet
Taking everything for granted
But I think you've caught on to something
Don't let go
Go go go go go you restless soul
You're going to find it
Go go go go go you restless soul
You're going to find it
Oh, yes you will, you found it
Oh, yes you did, you found it
Oh, yes you did, you found it

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

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.
Midnight

“Midnight” is a song about finding a love that is so true that it provides a calming feeling through every storm. Ed Sheeran reflects on his good fortunes in landing someone with such peace and support and speaks of not fearing the dark days because he knows they’ll all end in the safety nets of her arms.
“Well, good morning there / What a way to start the day / With everything laid bare,” Ed Sheeran sings in the first verse, enthusiastic to be waking up beside his woman. He apologizes for missing her calls in the second verse and promises to return them because for him, speaking to her is the most important thing. “Well, I get lost inside my head / In this chaos, you’re my calm / And I will find my feet again / ‘Cause еven the worst days of my life will always еnd / At midnight in your arms,” sings Ed Sheeran in the chorus, revelling in his good luck.
a beautiful song...incredible guy...so moving
))totally agree! such a pure beauty!
too bad this guy cant get a girlfriend
too bad this guy keeps getting hospitalized for his mental problems!! i saw a documetary on him, which only made me appreciate his work more. this man is a genius. this song applies completely to life.
lyrically beautiful, i especially like "Life's a bowl of cherries, You can have as many as you can carry, And someone once said that life was like a cow, But I don't know how that applies" somehow thoughful. flaming lips version of this song is worth a listen
beautiful.
As I wrote on a youtube video featuring this song...if love could be translated into song, this would be the result.
Man his songs just keep getting better, each one i hear is better then the next. I love the lines:
But anyhow here we are all on this planet Taking everything for granted But I think you've caught on to something Don't let go
