Let me tell you a story
About body and blood
There's a fire below
Deep in the river of love

Hey pretty mama I'm just trying to be polite
I wanna make you feel the rhythm of the river tonight
And when the story is over
You'll be satisfied

Honey, honey, honey don't you understand
To make you feel like a woman
Makes me feel like a man
Let me take you down to the river of love

Baby pull me under
Make me drown in your flood
Baptize my body in your river of love
Wontcha take me down

I wanna drown
In your river of love
If you're a little lovesick
Woman I got the cure

Let me be your preacher
And you can be my whore
I feel your heart pumpin honey don't say not
I wanna dive in your river

Take you down real slow
And then your body will quiver
And the river will flow
Honey, honey, honey don't you understand

To make you feel like a woman
Makes me feel like a man
Let me take you down to the river of love
Baby pull me under

Make me drown in your flood
Baptize my body in your river of love
Wontcha take me down
I wanna drown

In your river of love
Down, down, down let me take ya
Down, down, down I wanna take ya
Let me take you down to the river of love

Baby pull me under
Make me drown in your flood
Baptize my body in your river of love
Wontcha take me down

I wanna drown
In our rive of love

Blue
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.

Head > Heels

“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.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

Page
Ed Sheeran
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.

Sunglasses at Night
Corey Hart
In the 1980s, sunglasses were a common fashion for people who wanted to adopt a "tough guy" persona (note all the cop shows from that era -- Simon & Simon, Miami Vice, etc. -- where the lead characters wore shades). So I think this song is about a guy who wears shades as a way of hiding his insecurity after learning that his girlfriend is cheating on him. He's trying to pretend that he's a "tough guy" to hide the fact that his girlfriend's affair is disturbing him.
