Hi there, fellow Ed Sheeran fans. Ed is my favorite artist of all time! Thought I would share the love. : )
Okay, I think I have this song figured out pretty well. It's not meant to be a deep, or dark, song. It's a lighthearted song about his favorite memories of his long-time girlfriend; he's missing her so much!
Ed has said in interviews that this song is about his hometown girlfriend, of 3 1/2 years, who he had to break up with because he was so busy traveling to play gigs, From other songs he's written about her, U.N.I., she couldn't travel with him because she was attending college.
The skin inking- he's so in to her, he's ready to commit to her by forever tattooing her name on his body. Stop carrying around his passport. Just stay home so he can be with his sweetheart all the time, always.
The lack of a tan on his ring finger, is definitely a reference to wearing a wedding ring. And its a little joke because, again from his other songs, he doesn't tan anyway, he just burns.
That first verse is so heavy, but he likes to keep his songs light. He lightens up the tone of the song by ending with the reference to a fun bubble bath.
All the rest of the song is simply favorite memories of times the two of them spent together, and with family, over the years, through all of the seasons, they've been together.
Even though the relationship is over, he speaks quite bit in the present tense because he wants to continue holding her, keep her warm, when she needs it.
"You should never cut your hair." He'd like her to stay just as she was when the two of them were together. But his voice cracks in pain when sings this line because he realizes that she's not going to stay the same, just for him.
He's having a very difficult time accepting the fact that the relationship is over and both of them have to move on.
At the end of the song he speaks in the past tense in an attempt to accept the fact that the relationship is over. But he'll always remember that she was the one who woke him up, to love.
Brings tears to my eyes, and I hardly ever cry!
One of the most beautiful songs ever written! Thanks Ed! : )
P.S. You know, Ed, circumstances do have a way of changing over the years. Is she finished at the university yet? If she's not married yet, then she's SINGLE. So go get her, go and get her back! K, maybe she wouldn't be interested in being with you now, as if : / !, but you never know for sure until you try. In any case, stay away from those easy female singer/songwriters. (And I'm NOT referring to Taylor either! She seems so nice.)
