“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.
It's the way that she walks
It's the way that she moves
You can lose your mind
Makes you so wet
She can make you forget
It's a pantomime
Analyze, fantasize
Anything your heart can tell you
Agony , ecstasy
Ooh, you got lucky
Do you love her
Do you love her
Does it burn so deep
that you just don't sleep
Do you love her
Do you love her
Ah no , All right
Ooh ,you lucky
It can make you feel good
It can make you feel fine
It's a borderline
It's the way that she runs
All her fingers and thumbs
up and down your spine
At a price ,paradise
Girl has got a lot to sell you
Hard lies , paralyze
Ooh , you got lucky
Do you love her
Do you love her
Does it burn so deep
that you just don't sleep
Do you love her
Do you love her
Oh no , Alright
Ooh, you got lucky
Oh babe , does it bother you
when she's calling out my name
in the night
She's a part of me
And I wanna go
But I can't give in
Not without a fight
(break)
Agony , ecstasy
Ooh, you got love
Do you love her
Do you love her
Does it burn so deep
that you just can't sleep
Do you love her
Do you love her
Oh no , All right
Ooh, you got lucky
Oh no babe , Alright
Ooh, you got lucky
Do you love her
Do you love her
Ooh, you got lucky
Ooh, baby , Alright (fade out)
It's the way that she moves
You can lose your mind
Makes you so wet
She can make you forget
It's a pantomime
Analyze, fantasize
Anything your heart can tell you
Agony , ecstasy
Ooh, you got lucky
Do you love her
Do you love her
Does it burn so deep
that you just don't sleep
Do you love her
Do you love her
Ah no , All right
Ooh ,you lucky
It can make you feel good
It can make you feel fine
It's a borderline
It's the way that she runs

Ooh , you got lucky
Do you love her
Do you love her
Does it burn so deep

Do you love her
Ooh, you got lucky
Ooh, baby , Alright (fade out)

Midnight
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Midnight” is a song about finding a love that is so true that it provides a calming feeling through every storm. Ed Sheeran reflects on his good fortunes in landing someone with such peace and support and speaks of not fearing the dark days because he knows they’ll all end in the safety nets of her arms.
“Well, good morning there / What a way to start the day / With everything laid bare,” Ed Sheeran sings in the first verse, enthusiastic to be waking up beside his woman. 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.
Somewhere Only We Know
Keane
Keane
Per the FAQ on Keane's website, Keane's drummer Richard Hughes, stated the following:
"We've been asked whether "Somewhere Only We Know" is about a specific place, and Tim has been saying that, for him, or us as individuals, it might be about a geographical space, or a feeling; it can mean something individual to each person, and they can interpret it to a memory of theirs... It's perhaps more of a theme rather than a specific message... Feelings that may be universal, without necessarily being totally specific to us, or a place, or a time..."
With the nostalgic sentiment and the overall tone of the song, I think Keane is attempting to express a Portuguese term known as 'saudade', which does not have a direct English translation but roughly means "that which we remember because it is gone."
