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.

Well, you must be a girl with shoes like that
She said, "You know me well"
I've seen you and little Steven and Joanne
Around the back of my hotel, oh yeah
Someone said you was askin' after me
But I know you best as a blagger
I said, "Tell me your name, is it sweet?"
She said, "My boy, it's Dagger", oh yeah
Woo
I was good, she was hot
Stealin' everything she got
I was bold, she was over the worst of it
Gave me gear, thank you, dear
Bring your sister over here
Let her dance with me just for the hell of it

Well, you must be a boy with bones like that
She said, "You got me wrong"
I would've sold 'em to you if I could've
Just to've kept the last of my clothes on, oh yeah
Call me up, take me down with you when you go
I could be your regular belle
And I shall dance for little Steven and Joanne
Around the back of my hotel, oh yeah
Woo
I was good, she was hot
Stealin' everything she got
I was bold, she was over the worst of it
Gave me gear, thank you, dear
Bring your sister over here
Let her dance with me just for the hell of it

The boys get lonely after you leave
It's one for the Dagger and another for the one you believe
