This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
The record is broken and these cheap words your hearing
(We all know you've heard it all before)
They keep our souls aligned, I wonder how she tastes
... my ego never felt so good
Her dress fell faster and we all know what comes after
I feel this night has begun,
This fight isn't won
(Don't get me wrong?)
Is there anyone who can make me see
Help me breathe
Is there anyone who can make me feel alive inside
Sink or swim is all I know tonight
Well take me to the bed, it feels so right
Wake me up.
This should be,
That I play my hands on your waist.
Don't tell me to stop
It calls me out
I feel this night has begun,
This fight isn't won
(Don't get me wrong?)
Is there anyone who can make me see
Help me breathe
Is there anyone who can make me feel alive inside
Sink or swim is all I know tonight
Well take me to the bed, it feels so right
Wake me up.
You honestly believe
You meant something to me
I thought you knew the game
Well you should deal with the shame
No tears to make it stop
???
And think about how I did you wrong
How I did you wrong
Take me to the bed,
Because it feels so right,
Feels so right.
Take me to the bed tonight,
Tonight
Now we move so much faster than before
Straight to my room,
And baby you knock down the door
But I'm still waking up
These self inviting (whores?)
These self inviting (whores?)
Make me bring out the sun
Your body's played its role,
Its role in my game.
And now I can't believe,
I've done it
But somehow I still feel
But I still feel
So far gone...

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
I actually think this song is about people looking for love through prostitution, and some are still longing for the real thing, and some feel absolutely no remorse. I also think the title says a great deal, it's also about people trying to get to others just for sexual reasons, and how it feels right, but it's actually wrong.
nahhh i think your thinking way too into it, the title alone tells you he's just playing the game and being a player. she fell for it she thought there was something more but to him it was only a one night stand. he just played the cards right.
