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.
Hey, woo
Flyin' (fly up)
You and your heart woke up
So you choked on the silence (woke up)
It's been a hot minute
Damn, you hold me just how I like it (just woke up)
Touchin' you again on the other side of it
I never thought that I would see you again
Never thought that I would see you again (but hold up)
You can't deny the energy
That we got goin' on
I know you feel the chemistry
This shit feels so strong
Cloud nine, I'm feelin' heavenly
This vibe we fell upon
You touchin' every part of me
This shit feels so strong
This could be the real deal (oh, yeah)
This could be the real deal (oh, yeah)
I don't wanna waste it, take the risk and make it (oh, yeah)
Ain't no need for fakin', love is for the takin' (we special)
This could be the real deal (oh, yeah)
This could be the real deal (oh, yeah)
Uh, hey, fallin' (in love)
Oh you got me laughin' 'til the early hours of the mornin' (sun up)
Connections shouldn't turn up on your doorstep
And you just ignore it (turn up, hey)
Get some heart and then we keep it rockin'
Never stoppin'
I don't want nobody else ever again
Nobody else ever again (you got it)
You can't deny the energy
That we got goin' on
I know you feel the chemistry
This shit feels so strong
Cloud nine, I'm feelin' heavenly
This vibe we fell upon
You touchin' every part of me
This shit feels so strong
This could be the real deal (oh, yeah)
This could be the real deal (oh, yeah)
I don't wanna waste it, take the risk and make it (oh, yeah)
Ain't no need for fakin', love is for the takin' (we special)
This could be the real deal (oh, yeah)
This could be the real deal (oh, yeah)
You and me (you and me) 'til the end ('til the end)
We know it's right (we know it's right)
It's not pretend (it's not pretend)
I'm dreamin' (dreamin', dreamin')
Believin' (believin, lievin')
The conversation (conversation) get naked (naked)
Ooh baby (ooh baby) I'm shakin' (I'm shakin')
Dreamin', love
Believe in love
In love, yeah
Believin' in, love, believin' in love
In love, yeah
Believin' in love, believin' in love
This could be the real deal (ha ha, oh, yeah)
This could be the real deal (oh, yeah)
This could be the real deal, yeah, yeah
I don't wanna waste it (I don't wanna waste it)
Take the risk and make it, oh, yeah (take the risk and make it, ooh yes)
