“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.
you would never turn around your turning everything upside down and tryin’ to put the blame on me but now that I’m a superstar you always want to hang around and act like you did nothing wrong to me
I’m putting an end to my misery and this the end why can’t you see
I’m putting an end to my misery and this the end why can’t you see
the way you act now seems like we’ve been friends forever but lookin’ into those lying eyes I know better
you say it’s been a long time since we have seen each other you’re feeling
kind of beat and you wanna’ talk to a friend but here’s the truth here’s truth about the matter we were never friends
I’m putting an end to my misery and this the end why can’t you see
I’m putting an end to my misery and this the end why can’t you see
the way you act now seems like we’ve been friends forever but lookin’ into those lying eyes I know better
you say it’s been a long time since we have seen each other you’re feeling
kind of beat and you wanna’ talk to a friend but here’s the truth here’s truth about the matter we were never friends
I’m putting an end to my misery and this the end why can’t you see
I’m putting an end to my misery and this the end why can’t you see
cant you see
I’m putting an end to my misery and this the end why can’t you see
I’m putting an end to my misery and this the end why can’t you see
the way you act now seems like we’ve been friends forever but lookin’ into those lying eyes I know better
you say it’s been a long time since we have seen each other you’re feeling
kind of beat and you wanna’ talk to a friend but here’s the truth here’s truth about the matter we were never friends
I’m putting an end to my misery and this the end why can’t you see
I’m putting an end to my misery and this the end why can’t you see
the way you act now seems like we’ve been friends forever but lookin’ into those lying eyes I know better
you say it’s been a long time since we have seen each other you’re feeling
kind of beat and you wanna’ talk to a friend but here’s the truth here’s truth about the matter we were never friends
I’m putting an end to my misery and this the end why can’t you see
I’m putting an end to my misery and this the end why can’t you see
cant you see

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.
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.
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."
Sunglasses at Night
Corey Hart
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.
I love mest!! Every song I totally relate too!! this song is awesome, just like all the others!
