Let the right one in
Let the old dreams die
Let the wrong ones go
They cannot
They cannot
They cannot do
What you want them to

Let the right one in
Let the old dreams die
Let the wrong ones go
They do not 1
They do not 1
They do not see 1
What you want them to

Let the right one in
Let the old days lay 2
Put the tricks and schemes
For good, away

I will advise
until my mouth dries
I will advise you to
Let the right one slip in
Slip in
Slip in

And when at last it does
I'd say you were within your rights
To fight
The right ones and say
What kept you so long 3
What kept you so long

    What no comments on this song? I adore this song...it's so much fun. I think it's about letting the right person into your life...rather than just automatically rejecting everyone.

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”

Midnight
Ed Sheeran
“Midnight” is a song about finding a love that is so true that it provides a calming feeling through every storm. Ed Sheeran reflects on his good fortunes in landing someone with such peace and support and speaks of not fearing the dark days because he knows they’ll all end in the safety nets of her arms. “Well, good morning there / What a way to start the day / With everything laid bare,” Ed Sheeran sings in the first verse, enthusiastic to be waking up beside his woman. He apologizes for missing her calls in the second verse and promises to return them because for him, speaking to her is the most important thing. “Well, I get lost inside my head / In this chaos, you’re my calm / And I will find my feet again / ‘Cause еven the worst days of my life will always еnd / At midnight in your arms,” sings Ed Sheeran in the chorus, revelling in his good luck.
