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”
Breathe slowly, Inhale exhale, a path I've already walked, but I just can't stop
It's too familiar, this same routine, as I live day by day, it slowly eats at me
My bones and my tongue ache, from my failed attempts to make some sense
of why I won't let you out of my sight
Cuz' I'll never taste a love that could be as sweet as I had with you
So bury that trace of affection for me, and I'll force my feet to move
Breathe slowly, Inhale exhale, but it's not me you want, will I ever stop
I tried to believe that you would never share this bed with anyone but me but now I see
That I can't change you
My bones and my tongue aches, from my failed attempts to make some sense
but I'm done trying, to make you see that
I'll never taste a love that could be as sweet as I had with you
So bury that trace of affection for me, and I'll force my feet to move
Bury me tonight
It's too familiar, this same routine, as I live day by day, it slowly eats at me
My bones and my tongue ache, from my failed attempts to make some sense
of why I won't let you out of my sight
Cuz' I'll never taste a love that could be as sweet as I had with you
So bury that trace of affection for me, and I'll force my feet to move
Breathe slowly, Inhale exhale, but it's not me you want, will I ever stop
I tried to believe that you would never share this bed with anyone but me but now I see
That I can't change you
My bones and my tongue aches, from my failed attempts to make some sense
but I'm done trying, to make you see that
I'll never taste a love that could be as sweet as I had with you
So bury that trace of affection for me, and I'll force my feet to move
Bury me tonight

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.
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.

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.
He loves a girl that is done with him, but keeps giving hints that she still has feelings for him. So hes saying to stop giving hints so he can move on....
this sounds like a break up song to me. someone broke up with him, he's still deeply in love with her, but she doesnt want to get back with him. so now he has to force himself to move on ("So bury that trace of affection for me, and I'll force my feet to move").
