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”
Here in the night love takes control
Making me high
Making me whole
Here in the night love takes control
Making me high
Making me whole
I don't know
Oh, no, no, no
No, I don't know
No, no, no
No, I don't know
When I close my eyes, I can see you lowering yourself to my level
I don't know where you got those clothes
You can take them off if it makes you feel better
Don't stop it now
Now is so right
Now as the day slips away
And we slide into night
I don't know
Oh, no, no, no
No, I don't know know
No, no, no
No, I don't know
I open my eyes and you're there
Even better in the flesh, it would seem
I'm so ready and willing and able it's untrue
To act out this love scene
And make my dreams come true
And how many others have touched themselves whilst looking at pictures of you?
How many others could handle it if all their dreams came true?
I don't expect you to answer straight away
Maybe you're just having an off day
But I need to believe in you
Yes I do
Yes I do
Oh, I want you here in my head
Here in my heart
Here in my head
Live all your dreams for tonight
Here in your bed
I don't know
Oh, no, no, no
No, I don't know
No, no, no
No, I don't know
So roll the soundtrack and dim the lights
'Cause I'm not going home tonight
This love scene has begun
There's nothing left but get it on
Let's make this the greatest love scene from a play no-one's thought up yet
I know you're feeling the same as me but what you gonna do about it?
Now here's an exclusive
I've wanted you for years
I only needed the balls to admit it
When the unbelievable object meets the unstoppable force
There's nothing you can do about it
No
I will light your cigarette with a star that has fallen from the sky
Breathe in, breathe out
I love the way you move
Don't let anyone tell you any different tonight
You are beauty, you are class
You showed it all, but you still kept a little piece back just for me
A little piece back just for me
Just for me
Oh, I don't know how you do it
But I love the way you do it
When you're doing it to me
Na-na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na
And if this is a dream then I'm going to sleep for the rest of my life
For the rest of my life
For the rest of my life
For the rest of my life
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Making me high
Making me whole
Here in the night love takes control
Making me high
Making me whole
I don't know
Oh, no, no, no
No, I don't know
No, no, no
No, I don't know
When I close my eyes, I can see you lowering yourself to my level
I don't know where you got those clothes

Page
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
I get the idea that they didn't want it to be like a Barry White song - like, come bask in how sexy I am. But he's moved on from just basking in how sexy she is, too. It's like both of the people in the song have wanted each other for ages, they're each the object of the other's fantasies, and now they finally get to play it out... I think?
