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”
Oh, oh yeah, yeah,
She says I never listen and I'm inattentive to her emotions, yeah
I say she's got tunnel vision, only sees it her way,
So we never could work it out.
She's all ready to give up and move on, but I don't think she knows,
How I wish sometimes she could read my mind.
If she knew how bad I wanna make this work (yeah),
How my love belongs to her,
She wouldn't be able to walk away (never walk away).
If she knew how bad (how bad) I gotta have her close
(I gotta have her close),
If I ever let her go, I wouldn't make it a single day,
She would never have to escape
If she knew how bad
I've got yeah,
Gotta find a way to tell her how I feel before it is over oh,
I guess I could have done things better
I never should have let it get this far
She's all ready to give up and move on,
I don't think she knows
How I wish sometimes she could read my mind
If she knew how bad I wanna make this work (oh),
How my love belongs to her (her-are-r),
She wouldn't be able to walk away.
If she knew how bad (how bad) I gotta have her close,
If I ever let her go (oh-h-h), I wouldn't make it a single day
(not a single day),
She would never have to escape
If she knew how bad
The thought of loosing her ,'cause I did something wrong
Or 'cause I should have been there whenever she needed someone oh
It's a feeling that I know would kill me, 'cause
She's my heart, my soul, my love
I would never give her up
If she knew how bad (hey hey) I wanna make this work,
How my love belongs to her (oh),
She wouldn't be able to walk away (no, no, no).
If she knew how bad (how bad) I gotta have her close

If I ever let her go (oh-oh-oh-oh),
I wouldn't make it a single day,

How bad I really love her
How bad, how bad,
If she only knew how,
How bad I really love her
I just can't live without her (oh oh)

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
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
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.

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.
A guy who loves a girl so much but she doesn't understand how much. He wishes she could know but she's slipping through his fingers and he needs to stop her leaving. I was so sure the thrird line was 'And he see's it her way' As in he's losing her to some other guy, but I guess I was wrong...Great song anyway. ;D
