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.
The crowd has dispersed
The feelings have gone
I'm still 10 minutes behind
Waiting for something,
Something I know that wont come
And the cold cuts my lips
My fingertips numb
I've been dancing with misery
Waiting for something,
Something that I know that wont come
And I know while I'm here I can't have you
And it's been some time since I've shown you
A token of my affection
But please note, these tears
These tears I cry for you
Your heart will always keep me
In this song, I'll state my simple plea
Because love, true love it lasts forever
And in life, with you I'll always be
The music you like makes me feel small (??)
Small in a place where I just lost it all
I'm waiting on something that wont come
They say it's good, boy it's good to dream
I'll dream I am what you want me to be
I'm waiting on something that wont come
And I know while I'm here I can't have you
And it's been some time since I've shown you
A token of my affection
But please note, these tears
These tears I cry for you
Your heart will always keep me
In this song, I'll state my simple plea
Because love, true love it lasts forever
And in life, with you I'll always be
The feelings have gone
I'm still 10 minutes behind
Waiting for something,
Something I know that wont come
And the cold cuts my lips
My fingertips numb
I've been dancing with misery
Waiting for something,
Something that I know that wont come
And I know while I'm here I can't have you
And it's been some time since I've shown you
A token of my affection
But please note, these tears
These tears I cry for you
Your heart will always keep me
In this song, I'll state my simple plea
Because love, true love it lasts forever
And in life, with you I'll always be
The music you like makes me feel small (??)
Small in a place where I just lost it all
I'm waiting on something that wont come
They say it's good, boy it's good to dream
I'll dream I am what you want me to be
I'm waiting on something that wont come
And I know while I'm here I can't have you
And it's been some time since I've shown you
A token of my affection
But please note, these tears
These tears I cry for you
Your heart will always keep me
In this song, I'll state my simple plea
Because love, true love it lasts forever
And in life, with you I'll always be
