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.
There's a place that I know from this feeling
It keeps on getting better now
Making love, seeing faces in the clouds
Hear what they will tell me now
Out beyond the blue horizon
And in the wake of falling stars
New day dawns giving rise to reasons why
It is that I am walking on
High above looking down on me
So alive and it's flowing free
Through my veins in eternity as I walk
Open handed open-hearted lazy
Thoughts of nothing serious
Just a day in a life with another chance
To see what yet has to be seen
Placing one foot in front of the other
Feel the breeze flow through your body now
Angel on my shoulder's telling me
Keep on walking and believe
High above looking down on me
So alive and it's flowing free
Through my veins in eternity as I walk
Walkin', walkin', walkin', walkin'
High above looking down on me
So alive and it's flowing free
Through my veins in eternity as I walk
Walkin', keep on walkin, keep on
Keep on walkin' keep on
Keep on walkin', keep on walkin'
Walkin', keep on walkin', walkin'
Keep on walkin', walkin', walkin', walkin' on, walkin' on
Walkin', walkin', walkin' on, walkin' on
It keeps on getting better now
Making love, seeing faces in the clouds
Hear what they will tell me now
Out beyond the blue horizon
And in the wake of falling stars
New day dawns giving rise to reasons why
It is that I am walking on
High above looking down on me
So alive and it's flowing free
Through my veins in eternity as I walk
Open handed open-hearted lazy
Thoughts of nothing serious
Just a day in a life with another chance
To see what yet has to be seen
Placing one foot in front of the other
Feel the breeze flow through your body now
Angel on my shoulder's telling me
Keep on walking and believe
High above looking down on me
So alive and it's flowing free
Through my veins in eternity as I walk
Walkin', walkin', walkin', walkin'
High above looking down on me
So alive and it's flowing free
Through my veins in eternity as I walk
Walkin', keep on walkin, keep on
Keep on walkin' keep on
Keep on walkin', keep on walkin'
Walkin', keep on walkin', walkin'
Keep on walkin', walkin', walkin', walkin' on, walkin' on
Walkin', walkin', walkin' on, walkin' on
