I've waited to say so long
To the shame that owns you
The limits are bound
There's more to be found inside of you
Give it some time
The voices seem heavy, I know this
If you play by the hour
It's where you begin not where you will end
Today
And I feel like I am living
Where no one can find me
And I don't know how I've landed here
Sometimes I feel like
Those good things are behind me
Is the road supposed to get better than this
And I'll find
Yes I will find
Yes I will find

So long to the faith
Believe in yourself, no fantasy
Discovery blind
I hope you will find
The truth here
Give it some time
Believing and knowing are two different things
Play by your hour
It's where you will end not where you begin

Get up and open your eyes
Don't let yourself ever fall down
Get through it and learn how to fly
I know you will find a way
Today

It's the same damn dirty road

I will find a way

    Addiction. This song to me is about two people in a relationship where they are both addicted to whatever drugs and/or alcohol and they cant discover each other teh way they should because of the substance abuse. He knows that the drugs are what's keeping them from progressing, but neither of them can really do anything about it.

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”

Magical
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.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
