Time enough to prepare
And make you look, make you stare
Won't you deal me in?
And let empires fall
Got me some others to call
Who could offer me danger?
Well, don't take it personal

But you live in the echo of the screaming jet
In the furnace of each cigarette
With penitence and regret
Around your neck like a golden chain
Like an aching numbed with novocaine
Well, wouldn't you like to get away?
And ride white horses far away

Now they're chasing away

Leaving the trace of your things
Rusting away
Somewhere just under your skin
Is this the way out?
Let summer begin
Brighten your sky
Just let it be as you'd like
Just cross your heart and hope to die
Don't take it personal

Well, we'll hide in the eye of the maelstrom
We're down in the valley where the shadow's long
Don't you know that we belong
Somewhere over a rainbow
In the wreckage of the UFO
That glitters on the ocean spray
Ride 'em up into the Milky Way

Now they're chasing away

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”

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
