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.
No one says a word to me
They're concerned with my jealousy
Well, I guess that's how its got to be
From now on
And time it swallows everything
From the mighty to the meager thing
It's as dark as it is comforting
To play along
With whats been going on
With whats been going on
With whats been going on
Around here
There goes her old beat up care
Outside of our old favorite bar
She's probably in there playin' her guitar
With stars in her eyes
Those are some of my favorite memories
All those carefree melodies
While I'm out here on this raging sea
About to capsize
With whats been going on
With whats been going on
With whats been going on
Around here
With whats been going on
With whats been going on
With whats been going on
Around here
No one says a word to me
They're concerned with my jealousy
Well, I guess that's how it's got to be
From now on
They're concerned with my jealousy
Well, I guess that's how its got to be
From now on
And time it swallows everything
From the mighty to the meager thing
It's as dark as it is comforting
To play along
With whats been going on
With whats been going on
With whats been going on
Around here
There goes her old beat up care
Outside of our old favorite bar
She's probably in there playin' her guitar
With stars in her eyes
Those are some of my favorite memories
All those carefree melodies
While I'm out here on this raging sea
About to capsize
With whats been going on
With whats been going on
With whats been going on
Around here
With whats been going on
With whats been going on
With whats been going on
Around here
No one says a word to me
They're concerned with my jealousy
Well, I guess that's how it's got to be
From now on
