Ed Sheeran Lyrics

I had a bad week
Starting with expressing his feelings, Ed tells how his week opened up on a bad note.

Spent the evening pretending it wasn't that deep
Ed attempts to shrug off his problems by casually pretending that it's not as severe as it seems, giving a false impression.

You could see in my eyes that it was taking over
Despite putting on a charade, Ed's eyes reveal the truth about how his issues are consuming him.

I guess I was just blind and caught up in the moment
Ed realizes that he was too lost in the present to recognize the emerging problems before they transformed into a more significant issue.

You know you take all of my stress right down
Ed's partner is someone he finds comfort in, and just their presence has the ability to alleviate his stressful situation.

Help me get it off my chest and out
Ed feels the urge to express his problems and discuss them to let it out, providing relief.

Into the ether with the rest of this mess that just keeps us depressed
Ed wants to get his issues out of his system and let go of negative thoughts, and he thinks it's affecting his relationship as well. So, he wants to cast it all away and move forward.

We forget that we're here right now
Sometimes, people become too preoccupied with their worries, and they forget to live in the moment and appreciate the present.

'Cause we're living life at a different pace, stuck in a constant race

Something's got to change

We should just be cancelling all our plans, and not give a damn

If we're missing out on what the people think is right

Seeing through a picture behind the screen and forget to be
Ed highlights the fact that in this day and age, people are more focused on their digital lives, and they forget to live in reality and appreciate actual moments and connections.

Lose the conversation for the message that you'll never read
Sometimes, people get so engrossed in superficial conversations that they fail to realize the message or the emotions behind the messages.

I think maybe you and me
Ed proposes that he and his partner take a step back from the pressures of daily life and spend quality time together.

Oh, we should head out to the place where the music plays

And then we'll go all night

What do you reckon, is it just me?

I feel like I got nothing left right now
