Ed Sheeran Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You see, tonight, it could go either way
Hearts balanced on a razor blade
We are designed to love and break
And to rinse and repeat it all again

I get stuck when the world's too loud
And things don't look up when you're goin' down
I know your arms are reachin' out
From somewhere beyond the clouds

You make me feel
Like my troubled heart is a million miles away
You make me feel
Like I'm drunk on stars and we're dancing out into space
Celestial
Celestial

I see the light shinin' through the rain
A thousand colors in a brighter shade
Needed to rise from the lowest place
There's a silver lining that surrounds the grey

When I get lost, will it come back around?
Things don't look up when you're goin' down
I know your arms, they are reachin' out
From somewhere beyond the clouds

You make me feel
Like my troubled heart is a million miles away
You make me feel
Like I'm drunk on stars and we're dancing out into space
Celestial
Celestial, oh-oh

We were made to be
Nothin' more than this
Finding magic in all the smallest things
The way we notice, that's what really matters
Let's make tonight go on and on and on

You make me feel
(We were made to be nothing more than this)
(Finding magic in all the smallest things)
You make me feel
(The way we notice, that's what really matters)
(Let's make tonight go on and on and on)

You make me feel
Like my troubled heart is a million miles away
You make me feel
Like I'm drunk on stars and we're dancing out into space
Celestial, oh-oh
Celestial, oh-oh
Celestial

We were made to be
Nothing more than this (oh-oh)
Finding magic in all the smallest things (celestial)
The way we notice, that's what really matters (oh-oh)




Let's make tonight go on and on and on
Celestial

@themoemechanic

"You make me feel like my troubled heart is a million miles away" is by far my favorite line.

I'm a 28 year old guy from the US. Played Pokemon since I was probably 8 or 9, spent a ton of time on it. The series was always with me, even into adulthood (though I took intermittent breaks periodically). Went through a lot of family issues growing up, music (playing guitar, bass, etc.) and video games is what I normally leaned on to escape most of it. Like most people, I grew very attached to the series, and harbor a ton of nostalgia for it. As an adult, I still play when I have time. A lot of people I've known never understood why I stick with Pokemon even as a grown man. They don't understand.

The series and my music is what got me through the hard times growing up, and I could never give them up.

The fact that this emotion and nostalgia that I've had is realized in this song- and literally what has been on my heart for so long being shared with the world in such a well executed song and production is just unreal. I cry everytime I listen to this song. I'm crying writing this comment.

Thank you, Ed Sheeran. Thank you so much.

Lyrics :

You see tonight, it could go either way
Hearts balanced on a razor blade
We are designed to love and break
And to rinse and repeat it all again

I get stuck
When the world’s too loud
And things don’t look up when you’re going down
I know your arms are reaching out
From somewhere beyond the clouds

You make me feel
Like my troubled heart is a million miles away
You make me feel
Like I'm drunk on stars and we’re dancing out into space
Celestial
Celestial

I see the light shining through the rain
A thousand colours in a brighter shade
Need it to rise from the lowest place
There’s silver lining that surrounds the grey

When I get lost, will it come back ‘round?
Things don’t look up when you’re going down
I know your arms, they are reaching out
From somewhere beyond the clouds

You make me feel
Like my troubled heart is a million miles away
You make me feel
Like I'm drunk on stars and we’re dancing out into space
Celestial
Celestial

We were made to be
Nothing more than this
Finding magic in
All the smallest things
The way we notice
That’s what really matters
Let’s make tonight go on and on and on

We were made to be
Nothing more than this
Finding magic in
All the smallest things
The way we notice
That’s what really matters
Let’s make tonight go on and on and on

You make me feel
Like my troubled heart is a million miles away
You make me feel
Like I'm drunk on stars and we’re dancing out into space
Celestial
Celestial
Celestial

We were made to be
Nothing more than this
Finding magic in
All the smallest things
The way we notice
That’s what really matters
Let’s make tonight go on and on and on

Celestial
