As the reasons came and went, and swept across
The face of my innocence, I was lost.

To know your face, and your true shade
To feel your lips, and to be bade
To praise the night, to praise my unknown faith
Must I sure find a way? To infest the wound

Inside the wound, that draws me near
And cries my name, and feeds my presence
I am here!

I long for one piece with
I cry for my peace is in you

Inside the wound I hope to find
The essence and presence of you
Inside the wound I wish to learn
The art of fucking you

After the reasons came and went, and swept across
The face of my innocence, I was lost
Inside the wound, that draws me near
And cries my name, and feeds my presence
I am here!

To know your face, and your true shade
To feel the lips, and to be bade
To know your face, and your true shade
To hide in here, in this place

I long for one piece with
I cry for my peace is in you

    The song sounds like it is describing someone's first time having sex (innocence meaning 'virginity'). Quite possibly James himself.

    He describes the feeling that he hopes this experience will bring him and the girl closer together, quite possibly sealing their relationship forever. He also hopes he can satisfy her sexual desires. {"Inside the wound I hope to find The essence and presence of you Inside the wound I wish to learn The art of fucking you"}

    He also describes his lusting for her through the lines of: {"Inside the wound, that draws me near And cries my name, and feeds my presence I am here!"}

    Also, it sounds as if he wants to use sex as an escape as well as getting to know her (secondary motive). He could also be addicted to it now. {"To know your face, and your true shade To hide in here, in this place

    I long for one piece with I cry for my peace is in you"}

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”

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.
