Thinking Out Loud
Ed Sheeran Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When your legs don't work like they used to before
And I can't sweep you off of your feet
Will your mouth still remember the taste of my love
Will your eyes still smile from your cheeks

And darling I will be loving you 'til we're 70
And baby my heart could still fall as hard at 23
And I'm thinking 'bout how people fall in love in mysterious ways
Maybe just the touch of a hand
Oh me I fall in love with you every single day
And I just wanna tell you I am

So honey now
Take me into your loving arms
Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
Place your head on my beating heart
I'm thinking out loud
Maybe we found love right where we are

When my hair's all but gone and my memory fades
And the crowds don't remember my name
When my hands don't play the strings the same way, mm
I know you will still love me the same

'Cause honey your soul can never grow old, it's evergreen
Baby your smile's forever in my mind and memory

I'm thinking 'bout how people fall in love in mysterious ways
Maybe it's all part of a plan
I'll just keep on making the same mistakes
Hoping that you'll understand

But baby now
Take me into your loving arms
Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
Place your head on my beating heart
I'm thinking out loud
That maybe we found love right where we are, oh

(Ah la la, la la la, la la la, la la la la)

So baby now
Take me into your loving arms
Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
Oh darling, place your head on my beating heart
I'm thinking out loud
That maybe we found love right where we are

Oh baby, we found love right where we are (maybe)
And we found love right where we are

Overall Meaning

Ed Sheeran's "Thinking Out Loud" is a soulful love song that speaks about how love can last for a lifetime. The opening lines of the song use a metaphor stating "when your legs don't work like they used to before, and I can't sweep you off of your feet," implying the struggles of old age. But despite these obstacles, the singer contemplates if his love interest will still remember "the taste of my love" and if she "will your eyes still smile from your cheeks". He confesses his commitment to loving her until they are 70, and expresses how even though he may age, his heart will still love her as hard as it did when he was 23. The chorus of the song has the singer urging his lover to take him into her loving arms, kiss him under the stars, and place her head on his beating heart. Meanwhile, he continues to sing about the mysterious ways in which people fall in love and that sometimes it's all a part of a plan. Finally, the song ends with the same statement that they found love right where they were.


Overall, "Thinking Out Loud" is a heartfelt love song featuring lyrics rich in emotion and a soothing melody that creates an intimate atmosphere. The song reflects on how love can last for a lifetime and survive the ups and downs of life. It also highlights how even those experiencing the later stages of life can continue to love and be loved.


Line by Line Meaning

When your legs don't work like they used to before
When you're no longer as physically able as you once were


And I can't sweep you off of your feet
And I can't impress you with my romantic gestures the way I used to


Will your mouth still remember the taste of my love
Will you still cherish the moments we shared together


Will your eyes still smile from your cheeks
Will the memories of our time together keep you happy


And darling I will be loving you 'til we're 70
I'll love you till we're old


And baby my heart could still fall as hard at 23
My love for you will never diminish


And I'm thinking 'bout how people fall in love in mysterious ways
Love can be unpredictable


Maybe just the touch of a hand
or a simple gesture can ignite love


Oh me I fall in love with you every single day
I'm still madly in love with you even after all this time


And I just wanna tell you I am
I just want you to know that I still love you


So honey now
So now, my dear


Take me into your loving arms
Hold me close and show me affection


Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
Kiss me passionately like it's the first time


Place your head on my beating heart
Listen to the rhythms of my heart and know that you have my love


I'm thinking out loud
I'm verbalizing my thoughts and feelings


Maybe we found love right where we are
Maybe we're exactly where we're supposed to be, in love


When my hair's all but gone and my memory fades
When I'm old and my health begins to decline


And the crowds don't remember my name
And I'm no longer famous nor significant


When my hands don't play the strings the same way, mm
When I'm no longer as talented as a guitarist


I know you will still love me the same
I know you'll love me unconditionally


'Cause honey your soul can never grow old, it's evergreen
Your soul is timeless and never ages


Baby your smile's forever in my mind and memory
I'll always remember your beautiful smile


I'm thinking 'bout how people fall in love in mysterious ways
Love can be incomprehensible and unexpected


Maybe it's all part of a plan
Maybe we were meant to be in love


I'll just keep on making the same mistakes
I'll keep making the same mistakes in love


Hoping that you'll understand
Hoping that you'll still love me despite my flaws


But baby now
But now, my love


Take me into your loving arms
Hold me in your arms and make me feel loved


Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
Kiss me like nothing else matters


Place your head on my beating heart
Rest your head on my chest and hear my heart beating for you


That maybe we found love right where we are, oh
Maybe we found love exactly where we are


(Ah la la, la la la, la la la, la la la la)


So baby now
So now, my dear


Take me into your loving arms
Take me in your loving arms


Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
Kiss me like there's no tomorrow


Oh darling, place your head on my beating heart
Oh my love, rest your head on my chest and listen to my heart beating for you


I'm thinking out loud
I'm speaking my mind


That maybe we found love right where we are
Maybe we found love right in our current situation


Oh baby, we found love right where we are (maybe)
Oh my love, we might have found love right where we are, maybe
