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 song Thinking Out Loud is a romantic ballad that talks about ageless love and how two people can be deeply in love even after their prime. The song begins with Sheeran talking about the physical limitations of aging and the possibility of not being able to do things the same way again. However, he still asks if his partner’s memories can still remember the taste of his love and if her eyes can still smile the same way, showing how love can keep a relationship going when age takes over.


In the second verse, Sheeran talks about how his lover will still love him even after his hair is gone, his memory fades, and he cannot play the strings the same way as before. He talks about how her soul is evergreen and her smile is forever in his mind, emphasizing the importance of the soul connection in a relationship.


The chorus is a testament to everlasting love and wanting to be together forever. Sheeran wants to be with his lover every day, even when they are old and grey, and is grateful they have found love in each other. The song ends with Sheeran acknowledging that maybe they found love right where they are, reminding listeners of the power of true love and how it can happen when you least expect it.

If I lose my musical talents and skills, I know that you will still love me the same and appreciate me for other qualities.


I know you will still love me the same
I trust in the steadfastness of your love and the unbreakable bond we share, which transcends physical abilities and appearances.


'Cause honey your soul can never grow old, it's evergreen
The spirit and essence of who you are will remain timeless and ageless, and the purity and beauty of your soul will never decay or diminish.


Baby your smile's forever in my mind and memory
I cherish the memories of your precious smile and the moments we shared together, and they will always hold a special place in my heart.


Oh baby, we found love right where we are
Together, we have found love in each other, right here, right now, and it is a beautiful and profound thing.


And we found love right where we are
Our love is not contingent upon external factors, but it is inherent in the bond and connection we share with each other, and it is a precious and invaluable gift.

'Cause, honey, your soul who could never grow old, it's evergreen
And baby, your smile's forever in my mind and memory

Can we all just appreciate the fact that Ed Sheeran danced in this video. He could of gotten any other guy to do this for the video, but he was bound and determined to learn and be the one in the video to dance this. Not many artists would do that, he slimmed down some and took time to be taught the dance. I just still find it amazing.
