“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.
You called to say you've gone away
Speak in code, our voices shake
The pigs are much more clever
Than we ever would've thought
You called to say they're on their way
The lines are tapped
Nothing here is safe
Just get out of Gotham
All these cops wanna bring us down
Open up your mouth and sing it out
Create a good space for the sound
(I swear I swore you off forever)
Then you come around
This love
This love
This love's gonna drag us down
Clicks betray
The call has been traced
Lines collapsed, the static breaks
Connection left is severed
I stretch my limbs across
You call to say the anchor weighs
The ocean down to control the waves
I'm getting out of Gotham
All these cops are starting to bring me down
Open up your mouth and sing it out
Create a good space for the sound
(I swear I swore you off forever)
Then you come around
This love
This love
This love's gonna drag us down
Better off alone together
Better off alone together
Better off alone together
All this getting high brings me down
Open up your mouth and sing it out
Create a good space for the sound
(I swear I swore you off forever)
Then you come around
This love
This love
This love's gonna drag us down
This love
This love
This love
This love
This love
This love
This love
This love
Speak in code, our voices shake
The pigs are much more clever
Than we ever would've thought
You called to say they're on their way
The lines are tapped
Nothing here is safe
Just get out of Gotham
All these cops wanna bring us down
Open up your mouth and sing it out
Create a good space for the sound
(I swear I swore you off forever)
Then you come around
This love
This love
This love's gonna drag us down
Clicks betray
The call has been traced
Lines collapsed, the static breaks
Connection left is severed
I stretch my limbs across
You call to say the anchor weighs
The ocean down to control the waves
I'm getting out of Gotham
All these cops are starting to bring me down
Open up your mouth and sing it out
Create a good space for the sound
(I swear I swore you off forever)
Then you come around
This love
This love
This love's gonna drag us down
Better off alone together
Better off alone together
Better off alone together
All this getting high brings me down
Open up your mouth and sing it out
Create a good space for the sound
(I swear I swore you off forever)
Then you come around
This love
This love
This love's gonna drag us down
This love
This love
This love
This love
This love
This love
This love
This love

If you bought the album instead of pirating it you would have the real lyrics right in front of you.

This song is about being on the receiving end of a drug sting.
*All this getting HIGH brings us down<br /> Sorry
I didn't pirate the song. These were the lyrics I heard from listening to the song on their Myspace. But great way to assume!
This song isn't about a drug sting. It goes much deeper than that. Crime in Stereo has always been known for comparing love to a drug addiction. Think about it... Don't go around flaunting your album around, and then turn around and have no idea what you're talking about. And yes, I did buy the album. I have all of them.
This song reminds me of Batman.
