Ed Sheeran Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
East Anglian sky, empty bottle of wine
I got you by my side, talkin' 'bout love and life
Oh, how lucky am I when I look in your eyes
What a wonderful way to spend a moment or two
To be lyin' awake and be here talkin' to you
I got somethin' to say, I know what I gotta do
To be makin' a change, now the moment of truth
Why am I feelin' so nervous when
Things are goin' so perfect? And
But I know that it's worth it to
Spend forever with you
And so I count to three
And get on one knee
And I ask you
Darlin', honestly
I've waited all this time
Just to make it right
So I'll ask you (tonight)
Will you marry me?
Just say yes
One word, one love
One life
A gentle touch of the hand, fingers runnin' through hair
Lips pressed to her lips, oh, I was caught unaware
Arms holdin' me tight, tears in both of our eyes
What a beautiful way to spend the rest of our lives
Sun will reappear, burnin' auburn and red
My chest was the pillow, green grass lawn was the bed
Last night was the night, one last moment of truth
And what a wonderful way to fall in deeper in you
Why was I feelin' nervous when
Things were goin' so perfect? And
And now I know that it's worth it to
Spend forever with you
And so I count to three
And get on one knee
And I ask you
Darlin', honestly
I've waited all this time
Just to make it right
So I'll ask you (tonight)
Will you marry me?
Just say yes
One word, one love
One life
(Your hand in mine)
Some things were just meant to be
(Hearts intertwined)
Some things were just meant to be
(In perfect time)
Some things were just meant to be
(Oh, you and I)
Some things were just meant to be
(Your hand in mine)
Some things were just meant to be
(Hearts intertwined)
Some things were just meant to be
(In perfect time)
Some things were just meant to be
(Oh, you and I)
Some things were just meant to be

Certain things in life are destined to happen

In perfect time
In flawless synchronization
Oh, you and I
Oh, the two of us

East Anglian sky, empty bottle of wine
I got you by my side, talkin' 'bout love and life
Oh, how lucky am I when I look in your eyes
What a wonderful way to spend a moment or two
To be lying awake and be here talking to you

Things are going so perfect ten?
But I know that it's worth it to spend forever with you
And so I count to three and get on one knee

My chest was the pillow, green grass knoll was the bed
Last night was the night, one last moment of truth
And what a wonderful way of falling deeper in you
Why was I feeling nervous when

And now I know that it's worth it to spend forever with you
And so I count to three and get on one knee
And I ask you, "Darling, honestly

My younger brother committed suicide last weekend by overdosing on something. He was found with headphones on, presumably listening to something. This is his youtube account. He made a playlist containing 6 songs that was edited the day he passed. This is one of the 6 songs. With the method he used, he was dead after about 30 minutes, probably unconscious around 12 minutes. I like to think that it was peaceful for him with his music on. I love you Myles, I'll miss you everyday for the rest of my life.
@shairp5025
@linkinparkrub2275 a year on from your comment I hope you're doing OK, have found strength in your brothers memories and courage knowing things may be different but they'll be OK. To your brother, I send my prayers to you in heaven and wish you peace.
Good luck to you and your family.
@glowshine8102
May he rest in peace more power to you
