The way you'd close your eyes
Your lashes against mine
The way you used to smile
I'd bite my lip and smile
The light was baby blue
And I'd take care of you
And our baby too
I would marry you
The glacier looked so sweet
We said we'd never leave
You said it must be fate
You found your soul mate
Now I think too much
"I don't drink enough,"
And then I drink too much
I don't think enough
So go and roll your eyes
A paradox; you'd like
To think that you're right
Well, you're right, alright
You'll stay forever tonight
You'll stay forever

When you left that day
I though you'd be back again
"She's my baby girl;
she'll come back I'm sure"
But Jerry don't you know
That she's not yours to hold
She could hold you back
One more drink, one more heart attack
Jerry what'd you do?
Cause now you're losing you
Why would you lose that ring?
Rachel really loved you
Rachel really loved you

Now I think too much
"I don't drink enough,"
And then I drink too much
I don't think enough
So go and roll your eyes
A paradox; you'd like
To think that you're right
Well, you're right, you're right, you're right, you're right
You'll stay forever that night
You'd never leave that night
You'll stay forever alright
Guess you'll stick, soft; sex
Losing words for you
And when you're kissing him
I hope he gets the same
You'd never leave

Now we're getting married
That baby's on its way
Her name would be Quinn
It's hard not to pretend

    amazing song. and for the tabs, the song is on piano (obviously.) but if you want to play it on guitar, the chords are: D-AM-EM-G

    just figure out the pattern, it isn't hard.

    this song gives me goosebumps everytime i hear it.

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”

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
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.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
