We Are Done
Ed Sheeran Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Ohhh ohhh) [x7]

Leaves have fallen to the ground
And now there's no one else around
To hear the cry

(Ohhh ohhh)
I saw your body
I saw your face
Loss of presence
Loss of grace
Behind those eyes

(Ohhh ohhh)

And we break down
We lose touch
Sometimes
We are
Alone

(Ohhh ohhh) [x5]

I miss your laughter
I miss your tears
I miss your rambling
About your fears
Your smile
The crowed has gathered
All around
No ones speaking
No one makes a sound
And I...

And we break down
We lose touch
Sometimes
We are
Alone

We break down
We lose touch
Sometimes
Alone

Alone now...

[x5:]
They're never gonna change you
They're never gonna change me
They're never gonna change us
We'll always stay the same

We break down
We lose touch
Sometimes
We are
We break down
We lose touch
Sometimes
We are
We break down
We lose touch
Sometimes




We are
Alone

Overall Meaning

In the song "We Are Done," Ed Sheeran portrays a sense of loneliness and isolation. The repetition of "Ohhh ohhh" at the beginning sets a somber tone, suggesting a longing for companionship or connection. The lyrics speak about how leaves have fallen and there is no one around to hear the cry, symbolizing a lack of support or understanding from others.


The second verse delves into the personal experiences of the singer. Sheeran expresses seeing the body and face of someone, but witnessing a loss of presence and grace behind their eyes. This could represent a profound change or emotional distance in a relationship, leading to a disconnection between two individuals. The use of "loss" twice emphasizes the impact of this change.


The chorus emphasizes the breakdown and loss of touch that can occur in relationships. The repetition of "Sometimes we are alone" highlights the transient nature of loneliness and isolation that individuals experience. It acknowledges that even in relationships, there are moments where people feel disconnected or misunderstood.


The bridge introduces a sense of nostalgia, emphasizing the things the singer misses about the person they once had a connection with. It mentions missing their laughter, tears, and even their ramblings about fears. This longing for the past indicates a desire to recapture the closeness they once shared.


The final repetition of "We break down, we lose touch, sometimes we are alone" underscores the repeated themes of disconnection and isolation. It suggests that these experiences are universal and that everyone goes through periods of feeling alone. The outro reinforces the idea that despite external circumstances, no one can truly change who another person is at their core.


Overall, "We Are Done" evokes a sense of longing for connection and explores the complexities of relationships. It highlights the emotions and challenges that come with moments of disconnection and loneliness, offering a relatable perspective on the human experience.

[Verse 1]
When your legs don't work like they used to before
And I can't sweep you off of your feet
Will your mouth still remember the taste of my love?
Will your eyes still smile from your cheeks?

[Pre-Chorus]
And darlin', I will be lovin' you till we're seventy
And baby, my heart could still fall as hard at twenty-three
And I'm thinkin' 'bout how
People fall in love in mysterious ways
Maybe just the touch of a hand
Well, me, I fall in love with you every single day
And I just wanna tell you I am

[Chorus]
So honey, now, take me into your lovin' arms
Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
And place your head on my beatin' heart, I'm thinkin' out loud
Maybe we found love right where we are

[Verse 2]
When my hair's all but gone and my memory fades
And the crowds don't remember my name
When my hands don't play the strings the same way, mmm
I know you will still love me the same

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause, honey, your soul who could never grow old, it's evergreen
And baby, your smile's forever in my mind and memory
I'm thinkin' 'bout how
People fall in love in mysterious ways
And maybe it's all part of a plan
Oh, I'll just keep on makin' the same mistakes
Hoping that you'll understand

[Chorus]
That, baby, now, take me into your lovin' arms
Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
Place your head on my beatin' heart, I'm thinkin' out loud
And maybe we found love right where we are, oh-oh

[Bridge]
Lo-lo-lo, lo-lo-lo
Lo-lo-lo, lo-lo-lo, love

[Chorus]
So baby, now, take me into your lovin' arms
And kiss me under the light of a thousand stars, oh, darlin'
Place your head on my beatin' heart, I'm thinkin' out loud
That maybe we found love right where we are
Oh, maybe we found love right where we are
And we found love right where we are

Can we all just appreciate the fact that Ed Sheeran danced in this video. He could of gotten any other guy to do this for the video, but he was bound and determined to learn and be the one in the video to dance this. Not many artists would do that, he slimmed down some and took time to be taught the dance. I just still find it amazing.
