The song "Be My Forever" by Ed Sheeran featuring Christina Perri is a colourful tribute to a long-lasting relationship. The song begins with the line "We're on top of the world now, darling, so don't let go," which immediately establishes an ecstatic, epic tone. Sheeran then asks the object of his affection if he can call her his, indicating a desire for a serious, long-term commitment. The chorus repeats the phrase 'be my forever', harkening back to the idea of a lifetime of love.
Throughout the song, Sheeran frequently sings about how right and perfect the relationship is, claiming that he trusts his heart and mind to the relationship completely. The second verse sees him declare that his partner is perfect in every way and that he's going to shout it out loud. The bridge features a glorious major-key switch, with Sheeran evoking an irresistibly joyous chorus of 'be my forever, be my forever'.
In general, the lyrics are brimming with wonder, deep affection, and openness, a vulnerability that speaks to the romantic nature of most people. Sheeran and Perri's individual voices blend together perfectly to create a sound that is pure bliss, and the song conveys the kind of love that lasts.
