This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
Oh girl we are the same
We are young and lost and so afraid
There's no cure for the pain
No shelter from the rain
All our prayers seem to fail
In joy and sorrow my home's in your arms
In a world so hollow
It is breaking my heart
In joy and sorrow my home's in your arms
In a world so hollow
It is breaking my heart
Oh girl we are the same
We are strong and blessed and so brave
With souls to be saved
And faith regained
All our tears wiped away
In joy and sorrow my home's in your arms
In a world so hollow
It is breaking my heart
In joy and sorrow my home's in your arms
In a world so hollow
It is breaking my heart
In joy and sorrow my home's in your arms
In a world so hollow
It is breaking my heart
In joy and sorrow my home's in your arms
In a world so hollow
It is breaking my heart
And my home's in your arms
And it is breaking my heart
My home's in your arms
And it is breaking my heart
We are young and lost and so afraid
There's no cure for the pain
No shelter from the rain
All our prayers seem to fail
In joy and sorrow my home's in your arms
In a world so hollow
It is breaking my heart
In joy and sorrow my home's in your arms
In a world so hollow
It is breaking my heart
Oh girl we are the same
We are strong and blessed and so brave
With souls to be saved
And faith regained
All our tears wiped away
In joy and sorrow my home's in your arms
In a world so hollow
It is breaking my heart
In joy and sorrow my home's in your arms
In a world so hollow
It is breaking my heart
In joy and sorrow my home's in your arms
In a world so hollow
It is breaking my heart
In joy and sorrow my home's in your arms
In a world so hollow
It is breaking my heart
And my home's in your arms
And it is breaking my heart
My home's in your arms
And it is breaking my heart

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.
oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god ville is sooooooo sweet! wudnt u just love him so sing this to you, just before he proposed to you....?
Sing it to me? Yes. I'd die happy. Propose to me? Not so much - I don't even know him, and I'm betting you don't either. Sexy as he is in every way, it would be kind of creepy...<br /> <br /> But he can sing to me all he wants! ^^
I understand the irritation about the proposal stuff, but really, if my fiancée had sung this to me when he proposed, it would've been amazing. Fan-girls are rather obnoxious with 'he should propose to me', but is it that big of a deal?
THIS IS THE PRETTIEST SONG EVER!
at the bristol gig ville did say that he got the inspiration for this song from some indian weddings vowels! so i definately agree, this would make a good proposal song...dreams
my thoughts exactly, although this lyrics page could use a bit of a touch up on some verses...... meh ... who wants to make a mountain from a mole hill.......i mean really who would want to.
"god oh my god ville is sooooooo sweet! wudnt u just love him so sing this to you, just before he proposed to you....? "
I don't mean to be a spelling nazi, i'm sure i've made a couple of mistakes, but really is it that hard, it's 'wouldn't you'. Don't worry, keep trying, you'll get it.
And proposing? What the fuck? Sure it's a good song, and the blokes good looking, but really, that's is one of the lamest things I've ever heard. If you actually knew the guy, that statement would decrease in lameness slightly, but I highly doubt that you do. Anyway, i'm going to do something productive now. it's you people who give me a bad name. The statement "I like HIM, yes the band" is now followed by mocking and vomit, from anyone in earshot, thanks.
TaintedGlove, I could kiss you (if I wasn't riddled with disease)...
Disese? Riddled? Hmm i'll have to pass then.
In your words; 'I don't mean to be a spelling Nazi' but, Disease. Double fail on your part. Also, Nazi is capitalized. That is all.
And again we are the same We are young and lost and so afraid There's no cure for the pain No shelter from the rain Oh and we're so into fame
does anybody else notice these lyrics are a little off?
ehh fuck it
