i'll send you a postcard
i promise that i'll write
i'll send you a postcard
i'll write every night
but i gotta leave
i gotta take flight
i gotta leave
i gotta take flight
in a former life, i baked you pies that you really liked
in a former life, i hung your clothes to dry the way you liked
the way you like the way you like the way you really really like
the way you like the way you like the way you really really like
but i'll never be the one to evaporate your nightmares
and i'll never be the one to climb up all those stairs
but i'll never be the one to be there
no, i'll never be the one to be there
in a former life, i built you a house with my own two hands
in a former life, i did my hair the way you like
the way you like the way you like the way you really really like
the way you like the way you like the way you really really like
but i'll never be the one to calm the raging seas
and i'll never be the one, so stop asking me please
so stop asking me please asking me please
in a former life, i got down on my hands and knees
and told you everything and told you everything
in a former life, i was really something really something
but i'll never be the one you really need
no, i'll never be the one you really need
i promise that i'll write
i'll send you a postcard
i'll write every night
but i gotta leave
i gotta take flight
i gotta leave
i gotta take flight
in a former life, i baked you pies that you really liked
in a former life, i hung your clothes to dry the way you liked
the way you like the way you like the way you really really like
the way you like the way you like the way you really really like
but i'll never be the one to evaporate your nightmares
and i'll never be the one to climb up all those stairs
but i'll never be the one to be there
no, i'll never be the one to be there
in a former life, i built you a house with my own two hands
in a former life, i did my hair the way you like
the way you like the way you like the way you really really like
the way you like the way you like the way you really really like
but i'll never be the one to calm the raging seas
and i'll never be the one, so stop asking me please
so stop asking me please asking me please
in a former life, i got down on my hands and knees
and told you everything and told you everything
in a former life, i was really something really something
but i'll never be the one you really need
no, i'll never be the one you really need

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”

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.
