How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
What were you thinking, I guess I'll never know
See your eyes blinking, pupils begin to grow
Grilling you softly
Pulling you in
Making your mind up
What's sick or a sin
Open up now
Let it all go
I'm quiet certain
Say it ain't so
Your corrupted by
Some sick fuck
Oh no
Open up now
Head in the sky
Pierce the tounge that
Keeps telling lies
Feel it in my mouth
You breath in but can't breath out
What you been taking, it makes you talk real slow
How come I'm thinking, you'd be the last to know
Choking you gently
Gaining control
Hand you the shovel
To dig your own hole
Open up now
Let it all go
I'm quiet certain
Say it ain't so
Your corrupted by
Some sick fuck
Oh no
Open up now
Head in the sky
Pierce the tounge that
Keeps telling lies
Feel it in my mouth
You breath in but can't breath out
Choking you gently
Gaining control
Hand you the shovel
To dig your own hole
Open up now
Let it all go
Open up now
Let it all go
Open up now
Head in the sky
Pierce the tounge that
Keeps telling lies
Feel it in my mouth
You breath in but can't breath out
You breath in but can't breath out
See your eyes blinking, pupils begin to grow
Grilling you softly
Pulling you in
Making your mind up
What's sick or a sin
Open up now
Let it all go
I'm quiet certain
Say it ain't so
Your corrupted by
Some sick fuck
Oh no
Open up now
Head in the sky
Pierce the tounge that
Keeps telling lies
Feel it in my mouth
You breath in but can't breath out
What you been taking, it makes you talk real slow
How come I'm thinking, you'd be the last to know
Choking you gently
Gaining control
Hand you the shovel
To dig your own hole
Open up now
Let it all go
I'm quiet certain
Say it ain't so
Your corrupted by
Some sick fuck
Oh no
Open up now
Head in the sky
Pierce the tounge that
Keeps telling lies
Feel it in my mouth
You breath in but can't breath out
Choking you gently
Gaining control
Hand you the shovel
To dig your own hole
Open up now
Let it all go
Open up now
Let it all go
Open up now
Head in the sky
Pierce the tounge that
Keeps telling lies
Feel it in my mouth
You breath in but can't breath out
You breath in but can't breath out
