This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
You can't sit still.
I watched your movement from the corner catch my eye.
Imagining you here right by my side.
The fire in your eyes is blazing, and it burns right through me.
Little girl your so amazing.
Don't you know you drive me crazy, and I'd love to get to know you. Here I am so won't you take me and blow me away.
You seem so close.
If I could know your thoughts, if I could read your mind.
Some things are never meant to be defined.
It's now or never.
Here I am.
There you are.
Wish upon a falling star.
I watched your movement from the corner catch my eye.
Imagining you here right by my side.
The fire in your eyes is blazing, and it burns right through me.
Little girl your so amazing.
Don't you know you drive me crazy, and I'd love to get to know you. Here I am so won't you take me and blow me away.
You seem so close.
If I could know your thoughts, if I could read your mind.
Some things are never meant to be defined.
It's now or never.
Here I am.
There you are.
Wish upon a falling star.

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.
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.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
its pretty self explainatory.
but its so beautiful
i know this song is probably about something totally different, but every time i hear it now, it reminds of this girl who died recently this tuesday morning. i'm sorry we haven't talked since the fourth grade..i didn't know she would be gone so soon..it seriously breaks my heart.
i guess to me, this song just means me missing her, and wishing she was still here with me.

i think the bit that is said before all this is "there are thousands of things in this world im unsure of, but when it comes to you, i know exactly how i feel." but im not to sure if thats it, but thats what i heard. its at the very beging, the muffly distorted bit..
that's what I hear too...except more of "there's thousands of..."...since "there are..." sounds like it would take too long.
this song to me reminds me of a guy who is starting to fall for a girl before he truely knows her. but he knows you dont have to know someone to feel something for them. and he can tell that he sees something in her eyes towards him.
i think im falling in love with my best friends brother & for the longest time we've had this unspoken feelings for eachother because of the circumstances. all we can do is just look into eachothers eyes for the slightest bit of affection and communicationg in that way because thats all we can do. neither on of us have the guts to say anthing. this song hits really close to my heart .
I think Dimwit got it right in the beginning of the song. i hear the artist saying "there are thousands of things in this world i'm unsure of, but when it comes to you, i know exactly how i feel."
this song is very beautiful. it's about a guy who feels a very deep connection with this girl, even though their relationship consists of just glances and eye contact. he wants to take their relationship farther, meaning he wants to actually get to know her and eventually become closer to her.
great song =D
this is my favorite song ever. it pretty much explains everything. mine & my boyfriends song. [:
amazing song
This song is so beautiful. It reminds me of this girl whom I met very recently, but we have become very close in the time we've known each other. And I think I'm falling for her, but I'm scared to tell her. But anyways, a beautiful song with wonderful lyrics :)
