SOS
Ed Sheeran Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm filled up with doubt
I have to move home
But I want to stay with you
For all of the summer
I have my plan
That you won't remember
If you want to see the world
Then please ask your mother

I cannot hold your hand
To watch you go
Oh, I am a liar
As you might know
I need you now
I need your touch
And your lips
I need your smile
And your kiss

'Cause you're so cool
You're so beautiful
You're so
You're so

You're so cool
You're so beautiful
You're so
You're so

Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm

I see your voice
From my window
When it is late at night
It'll show me your shadow
I have my plan
But you won't remember it
But if you want to see the world
Then please ask your mother

Now, well I cannot hold your hand
To watch you go
Well I am a liar
As you might know
I need you now
I need your touch
And your lips
I need your smile
And your kiss

'Cause you're so cool
You're so beautiful
You're so
And you're so

You're so cool
You're so beautiful
You're so
And you're so

And you're so cool
You're so beautiful
You're so
And you're so

You're so cool
You're so beautiful
You're so
And you're so

Now, these words I say mean
You're so amazing
And I've noticed lately
I need you, maybe

And these words I say mean
You're so amazing
And I've noticed lately
I need you, maybe

'Cause you're so cool
You're so beautiful
You're so
And you're so

You're so cool
You're so beautiful




You're so
And you're so
