When [?] cause I'm not sure
Not gonna say yes when what I really mean is no
Not gonna say no unless you know I mean it
I mean it
Don't beat up on my body
I mean it
Don't beat up on my body
I've got something to say
Oh little manchild
Look at your pants
An accident happens each time we dance
Oh there were some times
Among the other times
When I could stand to do this little jig with you
Left right right left
It's time to mean it
I've got something to say
Not gonna say yes when what I really mean is no
Not gonna say no unless you know I mean it
I mean it
Don't beat up on my body
I mean it
Don't beat up on my body
I've got something to say
Oh little manchild
Look at your pants
I've got something to say
Happens each time we dance
I've got something to say
(Oh little manchild
Look at your pants)
I've got something to say
Not gonna say yes when what I really mean is no
Not gonna say no unless you know I mean it
I mean it
Don't beat up on my body
I mean it
Don't beat up on my body
I've got something to say
Oh little manchild
Look at your pants
An accident happens each time we dance
Oh there were some times
Among the other times
When I could stand to do this little jig with you
Left right right left
It's time to mean it
I've got something to say
Not gonna say yes when what I really mean is no
Not gonna say no unless you know I mean it
I mean it
Don't beat up on my body
I mean it
Don't beat up on my body
I've got something to say
Oh little manchild
Look at your pants
I've got something to say
Happens each time we dance
I've got something to say
(Oh little manchild
Look at your pants)
I've got something to say

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
It's about sexual harassment...anddd domestic violence?
yeah i love how the title is "manchild" because this song is allll abt male entitlement, especially in sexual situations. society fosters an attitude in men that too often leads to a line of thinking that not only can they get whatever they want from other men and especially women, but that they deserve it. hence rape and abuse (not to say men are the only rapists/abusers but most men grow up in a world that fosters a sense of entitlement and sense of violence in them particularly.) uhh this is a neat way to end the album i think. v good !
