Because it's a line you didn't want to cross,
Now you're a run-on sentence.
Championing your lost cause
To anyone who will listen, man,
And it's getting hard to stop.
You dropped the line, yeah, you made the call.

Because your low-rent soul is lost;
And any noise you can make now just might prove
It's what you meant to do - but would you do it again?

It's what you meant to do - but would you do it again?

Because it's a line you didn't want to cross,
Now you're a run-on sentence.
Championing your lost cause to anyone who will listen, man,
And it's getting hard to stop.
You dropped the line, yeah, you made the call.

Because your low-rent soul is lost;
And any noise you can make now just might prove
It's what you meant to do - but would you do it again?

It's what you meant to do - but would you do it again?

Would you do it again?
Would you do it again?
Because it's a line you didn't want to cross, would you do it again? (x3)

It's a line you didn't want to cross,
Cause any noise you can make now just might prove
It's what you meant to do - but would you do it again?

It's what you meant to do - but would you do it again?

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.
