This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
I've been hell raised on leather,
Five years stood in those black boots.
Had anything any man could have wanted,
All I ever wanted was you.
Baby I've done whatever I wanted,
I stole the lights and I've had command,
Of the world and of the angels.
They're both sold on a single hand.
And I, I'm head over heels for you,
And I have to say that it's true,
I'm head over heels for you.
I know you've seen all those romantic movies,
How the hero comes to take you away.
Then you wake up and you're all alone,
Now that's all gonna change today.
Remember bein' all alone,
Remember cryin' on a rainy day.
It don't have to be that bad now,
It doesn't have to be that way.
And I know what it's like baby to fall in love,
Because I've fallen in love with you.
It's true, yeah it's true.
And I, I'm head over heels for you,
And I have to say that it's true,
I'm head over heels for you.
And I know what it's like baby to fall in love,
Because I've fallen in love with you.
It's true, yeah it's true.
And I, I'm head over heels for you, (I'm head over heels)
And I have to say that it's true, (I'm head over heels)
I'm head over heels for you. (I'm head over heels)

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.
Another Love
Tom Odell
Tom Odell
I think the meaning is pretty clear. This person got really burned in a previous relationship, and because of this is unable to love and show care in his present one, even though he so badly wants to. It's lovely song, and very sad. You can really feel how defeated and frustrated he is with himself.
