on the right bank of the East River
sittin' on torn concrete
shaking hands and empty fingers
and I know it
won't mean anything
if indeed this was like a first marriage
then you and I together
can be like
divorcees
I don't need to talk about it
and I don't know
to anything yet
so you can take what's on the table
when you go
you go for everything
and if indeed this was like a first marriage
then you and I together
can be like
divorcees
sittin' on torn concrete
shaking hands and empty fingers
and I know it
won't mean anything
if indeed this was like a first marriage
then you and I together
can be like
divorcees
I don't need to talk about it
and I don't know
to anything yet
so you can take what's on the table
when you go
you go for everything
and if indeed this was like a first marriage
then you and I together
can be like
divorcees

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”
Amazing

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
what a depressing way to end the album. its such a beautiful song though.
the end of a relationship and the feelings that come along with it. she compares the end of their first serious relationship to a divorce. she feels empty and doesnt want to know anything and knows that when he goes... he goes for everything and isnt coming back.
she describes that terrible blah feeling of not feeling and not knowing after a break up.
