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.
My sister got lucky, married a yuppie
Took him for all he was worth
Now she's a swinger dating a singer
I can't decide which is worse
But not me baby, I've got you to save me
Oh yer so bad, best thing I ever had
In a world gone mad, yer so bad
My sister's ex-husband can't get no lovin'
Walks around dog-faced and hurt
Now he's got nothin', head in the oven
I can't decide which is worse
But not me baby, I've got you to save me
Oh yer so bad, best thing I ever had
In a world gone mad, yer so bad
Ah but not me baby, I've got you to save me
Oh yer so bad, best thing I ever had
In a world gone mad, yer so bad
Oh yer so bad, best thing I ever had
In a world gone mad, yer so bad
Took him for all he was worth
Now she's a swinger dating a singer
I can't decide which is worse
But not me baby, I've got you to save me
Oh yer so bad, best thing I ever had
In a world gone mad, yer so bad
My sister's ex-husband can't get no lovin'
Walks around dog-faced and hurt
Now he's got nothin', head in the oven
I can't decide which is worse
But not me baby, I've got you to save me
Oh yer so bad, best thing I ever had
In a world gone mad, yer so bad
Ah but not me baby, I've got you to save me
Oh yer so bad, best thing I ever had
In a world gone mad, yer so bad
Oh yer so bad, best thing I ever had
In a world gone mad, yer so bad

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.
When kids say "bad," They mean "good." And to shake one's booty means to wiggle one's butt. Permit me to demonstrate... That being said, this song in others words could be "Some people are selfish jerks, but not you and me." Doesn't quite have the same ring to it as the way Tom sings it, though.
