I wrote for luck
They sent me you
I sent for juice
They sent me poison

I hold the line
You form a queue
Try anything hard
There's nothing else you can do

Oh you can try but you can't chain me
I can slip and stand and bend and roll over
I don't read
I just dance

There's more than one sign
And it's getting less
When you're wet
You're getting drier

You used to speak the truth
But now you're liar
You used to speak the truth
But now you're clever

Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh

I wrote for luck
They sent me you
I sent for juice
They sent me poison

I hold the line
You form a queue
Try anything hard
There's nothing else you can do

And when you're wet
You're getting drier
You used to speak the truth
But now you're liar

You used to speak the truth
But now you're clever
And when it's hot
You start to melt

'Cause you're not made of cheese
You're made of chocolate
And when it's cold
You tend to cry
You keep on piling on
And not put it by

Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh

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.
