Sofa
Ed Sheeran Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When we're resembling cutlery on the sofa
It must have been about 5:01 like my blue ripped jeans
And my eyes are closed and I'm way too tired
Hoodie still smells of the beach bonfire
On the sofa, where we lay
I wanna stay inside all day
And we're both so high
We could fly to Berlin, Tokyo or Jamaica
We can go where you want, say the word and I'll take ya
But I'd rather stay on the sofa
On the sofa, with you
When the morning comes
We're not watching Formula 1
It's not what we breathe for
So kick off the day with Friends on T4
Two, boiled and brew
Two sugars ain't too sweet for you
On the sofa, where we lay
I wanna stay inside all day
And it's cold outside, again
And we're still so high
We could fly to Berlin, Tokyo or Jamaica
We can go where you want, say the word and I'll take ya
But I'd rather stay on the sofa
On the sofa, with you
And it feels like I'm flying
And it feels like
We could go to Berlin, Tokyo or Jamaica
Through the streets of New York, that is where I will take ya
Paris, Rome, to Rio, passing through Las Vegas
We can go where you want, say the word, and I'll take ya
But I'd rather stay on the sofa
On the sofa
On the sofa, with you
The lyrics to Ed Sheeran's song 'Sofa' describe a moment of intimate domesticity between two people who are deeply in love. The opening line, "She's reinventing loving me," suggests that the two characters have been together for some time, and that they are both constantly discovering new ways to express their affection for one another. The image of "resembling cutlery on the sofa" - that is, entwined and intertwined, like two forks or spoons - reinforces this sense of closeness and intimacy.
The second verse suggests that the couple is content to spend their days curled up on the sofa, watching TV and drinking tea. The mention of "Friends on T4" is a clear nod to the popularity of the American TV show among British viewers in the 1990s and 2000s, and the use of the plural "we" throughout the verse conveys a sense of shared happiness and contentment.
The chorus takes on a dream-like quality, as the couple reflects on the possibility of going anywhere in the world, but ultimately decides that they'd rather stay put on the sofa. The repetition of the phrase "And we're both so high" suggests that the couple may be under the influence of drugs or alcohol, adding to the sense of whimsy and surrealism.
Overall, the lyrics to 'Sofa' paint a vivid picture of a deeply loving and contented couple, reveling in the simple pleasures of domestic life.

She's reinventing loving me
She's redefining what it means to love me
When we're resembling cutlery on the sofa
When we're intertwined on the sofa like forks and knives
It must have been about 5:01 like my blue ripped jeans
It's around 5:01, just like the shade of blue on my ripped jeans
And my eyes are closed and I'm way too tired
My eyes are shut and I'm extremely exhausted
Hoodie still smells of the beach bonfire
My hoodie still carries the scent of the beach bonfire
On the sofa, where we lay
On the sofa, where we're lying down together
I wanna stay inside all day
I want to spend the entire day indoors
And it's cold outside, again
Once again, it's chilly outside
And we're both so high
We're both feeling ecstatic
We could fly to Berlin, Tokyo or Jamaica
We have the option of going to Berlin, Tokyo or Jamaica
We can go where you want, say the word and I'll take ya
We can travel to any destination of your choice, as per your wish
But I'd rather stay on the sofa
However, I would prefer staying on the sofa
When the morning comes
When the morning arrives
We're not watching Formula 1
We're not watching Formula 1 racing
It's not what we breathe for
Watching Formula 1 isn't something we live for
So kick off the day with Friends on T4
Let's begin the day by watching Friends on T4
Two, boiled and brew
Two cups of tea, boiled and brewed
Two sugars ain't too sweet for you
You like having two cubes of sugar in your tea
And it feels like I'm flying
I feel like I'm soaring
We could go to Berlin, Tokyo or Jamaica
We could travel to Berlin, Tokyo or Jamaica
Through the streets of New York, that is where I will take ya
I'll take you on a journey through the streets of New York
Paris, Rome, to Rio, passing through Las Vegas
We could visit Paris, Rome, Rio de Janeiro, and even pass through Las Vegas
On the sofa, with you
But I'd rather be on the sofa, next to you
