My friends, they're really all that I wanted anyway. All I need to get me through today! I've got a little money, but not enough to go around. And spending it all up doesn' make me happy when I'm down. I watch the T.V., and the lady on the news. Giving me the blues, for it I have no use. I've got my friends all around, you know they make me feel good. Never have to worry if they're up to no good. They're always, always there. There to help me out. If you ever need me, just give me a shout. But if a low-eye check ya, I step up to the front. They've got to get through me if a fight is what they want. I may be not tough, but with my friends I am enough. Yeah, me and my friends don't deal with that stuff. On the radio or on the phone, you hear more about it when you are alone. I know more about it at the end of the day. I look at what I've got and I just have to say...We want to see you up out of your seat. Ruskabank is here to make the beat sound so sweet. Yeah, at the scene now, we rock it all the time. Everybody knows that we rule every rhyme. 'Cause if a low eye check ya, I don't know why. Punch you in the jimmy, and they punch me in the eye. I don't know why, don't know why they do that stuff. They've got to be rough, they've got to be rough.

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.
