You let me in and I'll help you win

You buy the time I sold you all mine

No-one knows the d. j.'s bent

I don't care if someone gets hurt

When I lose it feels like dirt

Here comes a man you just got to meet,
C7 g7
Shake his hand and kiss his feet
C7 f7
He claims the time is coming soon,
C7 g7
The first pop music on the moon
C7 f7
The agent of the devil's a hip shakin fool,
C7 g7
If he don't like you that ain't cool.

He's left already that's ok

We don't need him anyway

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Magical
Ed Sheeran
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.
