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.
Please don't leave me
I know I'm leaving
I hope this gives you the space that you need
I don't need to
I still need you
When will you see this won't fix a thing
So I'll drive down the road
Away from our home
I'll take the next street
Away from our dreams
You'll get what you want
The city's all yours now
I should warn you
I'm not ok
Please feel free to stop this and me from leaving
When did you need
More room to breath
When will you see this won't fix a thing
So I'll drive down the road
Away from our home
I'll take the next street
Away from our dreams
You'll get what you want
The city's all yours now
I know I'm leaving
I hope this gives you the space that you need
I don't need to
I still need you
When will you see this won't fix a thing
So I'll drive down the road
Away from our home
I'll take the next street
Away from our dreams
You'll get what you want
The city's all yours now
I should warn you
I'm not ok
Please feel free to stop this and me from leaving
When did you need
More room to breath
When will you see this won't fix a thing
So I'll drive down the road
Away from our home
I'll take the next street
Away from our dreams
You'll get what you want
The city's all yours now
