Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Everybody does it
That's what you keep saying
Everybody doesn't
Not everybody's playing
I want to be your girlfriend
But you gotta turn the pressure off
Just stop
I think you've got
A one track mind
You're so focused on the destination
That you're missing the ride
You tell me
You're a patient guy
But we're not having conversations
'Cause you're preoccupied
If I loved you, I would
If you loved me I wouldn't have to
If I were in your shoes
Never expect you to get down
Everybody does it
That's what you keep saying
Everybody doesn't
Not everybody's playing
I want to be your girlfriend
But you gotta turn the pressure off
Everybody does it
That's what you keep saying
Everybody doesn't
Not everybody's playing
I want to be your girlfriend
But you gotta turn the pressure off
Ooh, you're good
You try real hard
So just fill out your application
I'll let you know next year
You don't believe
When I say no
If you don't give me consideration
Then you'll have to go
If I loved you, I would
If you loved me I wouldn't have to
If I were in your shoes
Never expect you to get down
Everybody does it
That's what you keep saying
Everybody doesn't
Not everybody's playing
I want to be your girlfriend
But you gotta turn the pressure off

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
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.
It's not just about abstinence but also about not being pressured into many things including drugs, cheating, going out with someone, having a kiss, sharing a soda, buying anything A&F... you name it! This song has a very positive message about not being cornered into doing things - especially sex! One point for Amanda! Zero for Britney! :)
this song is awesome... im usually not into poppy music... but this song unlike most other pop songs actually sends a good message to kids... unlike songs of britney's who just teaches little girls to act and look like hookers!
she doesn't want to have sex, that's all lol
