Thinking Out Loud
04. 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 maybe we found love right where we are
And we found love right where we are

Overall Meaning

The opening line "When your legs don't work like they used to before" speaks about how even as we age and our bodies fail us, love remains constant. The verses then go on to talk about how even as we grow old, our memories fade, and we no longer have the same abilities, true love can still exist. The chorus "Take me into your loving arms, kiss me under the light of a thousand stars, place your head on my beating heart" exemplifies the intimacy shared between two people in love who have found each other.


The song also speaks about the mystery of love, with the lines "I'm thinking 'bout how people fall in love in mysterious ways, maybe just the touch of a hand". It suggests that love may not have any set rules or reasons, it just happens. The song ends with the hope that the two lovers have found love right where they are, and that their love will continue to grow stronger despite any physical obstacles or challenges.


Overall, "Thinking Out Loud" is a moving tribute to love, and the power it has to transcend all barriers.

[Verse 1]
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?

[Pre-Chorus]
And darlin', I will be lovin' you till we're seventy
And baby, my heart could still fall as hard at twenty-three
And I'm thinkin' 'bout how
People fall in love in mysterious ways
Maybe just the touch of a hand
Well, me, I fall in love with you every single day
And I just wanna tell you I am

[Chorus]
So honey, now, take me into your lovin' arms
Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
And place your head on my beatin' heart, I'm thinkin' out loud
Maybe we found love right where we are

[Verse 2]
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, mmm
I know you will still love me the same

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause, honey, your soul who could never grow old, it's evergreen
And baby, your smile's forever in my mind and memory
I'm thinkin' 'bout how
People fall in love in mysterious ways
And maybe it's all part of a plan
Oh, I'll just keep on makin' the same mistakes
Hoping that you'll understand

[Chorus]
That, baby, now, take me into your lovin' arms
Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
Place your head on my beatin' heart, I'm thinkin' out loud
And maybe we found love right where we are, oh-oh

[Bridge]
Lo-lo-lo, lo-lo-lo
Lo-lo-lo, lo-lo-lo, love

[Chorus]
So baby, now, take me into your lovin' arms
And kiss me under the light of a thousand stars, oh, darlin'
Place your head on my beatin' heart, I'm thinkin' out loud

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.
