This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Now's the time for stepping out of place
Get up on your feet and give account of your faith
Pray to God or something or whatever you do
What I see can make me stop and stare
But who am I to judge the color of your hair
Surely all you're feeling much the same as I do
We got to keep this world together, got to keep it moving straight
Love like we mean forever, so that people can relate
If you're rolling to your left, don't forget I'm on the right
Trust and forgive each other
A little love and we just might
Yeah, yeah
(We gotta do something, we gotta do something, we gotta do something)
Yeah, thinking of the troubles of today
Is it easier to put that gun away
Or is it difficult to stop the world and show that you care
Everything and everyone we know is beautiful
Surely you will be the guide in light to save us all
Maybe we can be the vision of a perfect man's dream
'Cause we got to keep this world together
Got to keep it moving straight
Love like we mean forever
So that people can relate
If you're rolling to your left
Don't forget I'm on the right
Trust and forgive each other
A little love and we just might, just might
(I have something, do you have something 'cause I got something for you)
(I have something, do you have something 'cause I got something for you)
(I have something, do you have something 'cause I got something for you)
(I have something for you)
We got to keep this world together
Got to keep it moving straight
Love like we mean forever
So that people can relate
Oh, if you're rolling to your left
Don't forget I'm on the right
Trust and forgive each other
A little love and we just might
We got to keep this world together
Got to keep it moving straight
Love like we need each other
So that people can relate
If you're rolling to your left (to the left
Don't forget I'm on the right (on the right)
Trust and forgive each other
A little love and we just might, just might, just might
Get up on your feet and give account of your faith

Surely all you're feeling much the same as I do
We got to keep this world together, got to keep it moving straight
Love like we mean forever, so that people can relate

Magical
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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
Page
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
