Holy Mother of the simple one
When you smile at me you bring me down
You betray your thoughts
All your prayers to naught

Now out of debt, you speak in tongues
And out of breath, your work is done
And your dream, absolves
And your path, dissolve

And your dream, absolves
And your path, dissolve

    I believe you're pretty close.

    Holy mother of the simple one When you smile at me you bring me down You betray your thoughts All your prayers too low

    Now out of death you speak in tongues And out of breath your work is done And your dreams absolves And your path dissolve

    And your dream absolve And your path dissolve

Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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.
