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.
First boy to the second boy: 'Where do you think I am?
How do you think it's gone tonight?'
First girl to the second girl: 'Who does he think I am?
Where does he think he's been tonight?'
Tonight, will the action end, before it's even begun?
It's always over again.
First boy to the second boy: 'Where do you think I am?
Where do you think I stand tonight?'
First girl to the second girl: 'Who does he think I am?
How do you think i've been tonight?'
Tonight, will the action end, before it's even begun?
It's always over again.
This is all lost in time,
but i'll remember a moment my whole life,
a second, a glance in time.
It seems so simple, the meaning is intricate, this is so simple.
It seems so simple, the meaning is intricate, this is so simple.
Tonight, will the action end, before it's even begun?
It's always over again.
How do you think it's gone tonight?'
