This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
You should've been there as the sun went down
Colors ran all across the ground
Then a thousand stars were spinning all around
Do you care, you should've been there
I saved you place right by my side
And waited there in the candlelight
But the only friend I had in sight was an empty chair
You should've been there
[Chorus:]
Ran into some people we used to know
They were going somewhere I didn't want to go
So I kept on waiting for just a little bit more
Not getting anywhere, you should've been there
Then I thought I saw you walking by into town
Into the crowd I went chasing you down
When I grabbed your arm, she spun around
A stranger glared, you should've been there
You should've been there
There's always so much to see in this old town
Don't you agree
But then again I never said I'd be anywhere
You should've been there
I saved you a place right by my side
And waited there in the candlelight
But the only friend I had in sight was an empty chair
You should've been there
[Chorus]
Colors ran all across the ground
Then a thousand stars were spinning all around
Do you care, you should've been there
I saved you place right by my side
And waited there in the candlelight
But the only friend I had in sight was an empty chair
You should've been there
[Chorus:]
Ran into some people we used to know
They were going somewhere I didn't want to go
So I kept on waiting for just a little bit more
Not getting anywhere, you should've been there
Then I thought I saw you walking by into town
Into the crowd I went chasing you down
When I grabbed your arm, she spun around
A stranger glared, you should've been there
You should've been there
There's always so much to see in this old town
Don't you agree
But then again I never said I'd be anywhere
You should've been there
I saved you a place right by my side
And waited there in the candlelight
But the only friend I had in sight was an empty chair
You should've been there
[Chorus]

Magical

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.
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.
I love the double meaning of "you should've been there" in this song. Usually, we use the phrase to mean "you missed something really cool," but he also uses it to express his disappointment: "I thought I saw you walking by into town/Into the crowd I went chasing you down/When I grabbed your arm, she spun around/A stranger glared, you should've been there."
