Photograph
Ed Sheeran Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But it's the only thing that I know
When it gets hard, you know it can get hard sometimes
It is the only thing makes us feel alive
We keep this love in a photograph
We made these memories for ourselves
Where our eyes are never closing
Hearts are never broken
And time's forever frozen still
So you can keep me
Inside the pocket of your ripped jeans
Holding me closer 'til our eyes meet
You won't ever be alone, wait for me to come home
Loving can heal, loving can mend your soul
And it's the only thing that I know, know
I swear it will get easier
Remember that with every piece of ya
Hmm, and it's the only thing we take with us when we die
Hmm, we keep this love in this photograph
We made these memories for ourselves
Where our eyes are never closing
Hearts were never broken
And time's forever frozen, still
So you can keep me
Inside the pocket of your ripped jeans
Holding me closer 'til our eyes meet
You won't ever be alone
And if you hurt me
That's okay, baby, only words bleed
Inside these pages, you just hold me
And I won't ever let you go
Wait for me to come home
Wait for me to come home
Wait for me to come home
Wait for me to come home
Oh, you can fit me
Inside the necklace you got when you were sixteen
Next to your heartbeat where I should be
Keep it deep within your soul
And if you hurt me
Well, that's okay, baby, only words bleed
Inside these pages, you just hold me
And I won't ever let you go
When I'm away, I will remember how you kissed me
Under the lamppost back on Sixth street
Hearing you whisper through the phone
"Wait for me to come home"
The song "Photograph" by Ed Sheeran is a poignant love song about the joy and pain of loving someone. In the opening lines, Sheeran acknowledges that loving someone can be painful sometimes. It's a universal truth that we all know too well. We can't have the good without the bad, and sometimes love can hurt. Despite the pain, love is the only thing we know, and it's the only thing that makes us feel alive. In these lines, Sheeran is essentially saying that love is worth the risk, even if it sometimes hurts.
The chorus of the song is the most recognizable part of "Photograph." Sheeran sings of a love frozen in time, preserved forever in a photograph. The memories that he and his partner have created are something special, something worth holding on to, and something that they can revisit whenever they want. In many ways, this photograph is a symbol of the power of love. It's a way of keeping that love alive, even when times are tough. Sheeran sings of the importance of these memories and how they can help us through the harder times. The promise that his partner won't ever be alone is a reaffirmation of the power of their love.
In the second verse, Sheeran gets a bit more hopeful about love. He sings that love can heal and mend our souls, and it's the only thing we take with us when we die. This is a moving sentiment that speaks to the transformative power of love. It has the ability to change us, to make us better people, and to give our lives meaning. As the song comes to a close, Sheeran sings of the deep love that he and his partner share. He promises to keep her close, no matter what, and he tries to reassure her that he won't ever let go.

@extrememakeoverfan
These are all his dad’s home movies and his dad helped edit it.
@cynthiaahern9081
They probably cried when they saw it for the first time. I just saw it for the first time and I started crying. Beautiful! It reminded me of when my kids were little. What a talent
@le_li_teri1994
Lost my beautiful 7yr old daughter last year; she loved listening to this song since she was little. A year has passed and when I listen to this song tears roll down my cheek, but I don’t know if they’re happy tears or sad ones. Sukhi beta, papa misses you, please come back.
