This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
I wish you could put your ear up to my heart
And hear how much I love you
I still dream of December
Dancing together with rings on our fingers
And the two shall become
And hear how much I love you
I still dream of December
Dancing together with rings on our fingers
And the two shall become

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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
I definitely think they DON'T get married. The whole song sounds so morose and hopeless and depressing. I think the first line either means that someone happened to the girl (she left him, she's died) and she physically cannot put her head on his chest, which is why he says "I wish you COULD." OR, maybe the girl didn't think she loved him enough and he just wishes that her hearing his heart that beats only for her would suffice. Even the way he sings "I still dream of December..." doesn't seem simply reminiscent, but like he's haunted by it. The fact that he never does finish "And the two shall become.." makes it so obvious to me that it ended badly and unfinished.
Beautiful song though. It's funny how some of the saddest songs are the prettiest.
