Tenerife Sea
- ED SHEERAN Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You look so wonderful in your dress
I love your hair like that
The way it falls on the side of your neck
Down your shoulders and back
We are surrounded by all of these lies
And people that talk too much
You got the kind of look in your eyes
As if no one knows anything but us

Should this be the last thing I see?
I want you to know it's enough for me
'Cause all that you are is all that I'll ever need

I'm so in love
So in love
So in love
I'm so in love

You look so beautiful in this light
Your silhouette over me
The way it brings out the blue in your eyes
Is the Tenerife sea
And all of the voices surrounding us here
They just fade out when you take a breath
Just say the word and I will disappear
Into the wilderness

Should this be the last thing I see?
I want you to know it's enough for me
'Cause all that you are is all that I'll ever need

I'm so in love
So in love
So in love
So in love

Lumière, darling
Lumière over me
Lumière, darling
Lumière over me
Lumière, darling
Lumière over me

Should this be the last thing I see?
I want you to know it's enough for me
'Cause all that you are is all that I'll ever need

So in love
So in love
So in love, love, love, love
So in love

You look so wonderful in your dress




I love your hair like that
And in a moment, I knew you best

Overall Meaning

"Tenerife Sea" is a love song by Ed Sheeran that speaks to the depths of romantic love. The song paints a picture of two people completely enamored with each other, caught up in the way they look, feel, and need each other. They are surrounded by distractions and chatter, but all that fades away when they look into each other's eyes. Sheeran's lyrics are incredibly intimate, describing the way her hair falls on her shoulders and back and how the light brings out the blue in her eyes. Sheeran declares that if this were the last thing he could ever see, it would be enough as he sees all that he needs in her.


The song paints a vivid image of a couple in love, as if they are the only two people in the world, and everything else fades away. The title, "Tenerife Sea," refers to the sea off the coast of Tenerife in the Canary Islands of Spain. Sheeran uses this reference as a comparison to the blue in her eyes, and all of the voices around them just fade away. In a sense, the couple is isolated from the rest of the world, but they don't need anyone else because they have each other. The repeated chorus of "So in love" emphasizes the intensity of the couple's feelings for each other.


Overall, "Tenerife Sea" is a romantic ballad that captures the depths of true love. Sheeran's lyrics are poignant and tender, and the melody is simple yet effective, drawing listeners in and allowing them to feel the passion and emotion of the song.
