Overpass Graffiti
FAMILY ROOM - Ed Sheeran Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Another rough patch to rain on
To rain on
I know your friends may say
This is a cause for celebration
Hip-hip-hooray, love
Photographs in sepia tones
So still, the fire's barely fighting the coldAlone
There are times when I can feel your ghost
Just when I'm almost letting you go
The cards were stacked against us both
I will always love you for what it's worth
We'll never fade like graffiti on the overpass
And I know time may change the way you think of us
But I'll remember the way we were
You were the first full stop, love that will never leave
Baby, you will never be lost on me
This is a goddamn shame
I never wanted to break it, or leave us tainted
Know I should walk away
But I just can't replace us or even erase us
The car was stuck, the engine stalled
And both of us got caught out in the snow
Alone
There were times when I forget the lows
And think the highs were all that we'd ever known
The cards were stacked against us both
I will always love you for what it's worth
We'll never fade like graffiti on the overpass
And I know time may change the way you think of us
You were the first full stop, love that will never leave
Baby, you will never be lost on me
Lost on me
Baby, you will never be lost on me
Lost on me
Well, I will always love you for what it's worth
We'll never fade like graffiti on the overpass
And I know time may change the way you think of us
But I'll remember the way we were
You were the first full stop, love that will never leave
Baby, you will never be lost on me
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Lost on me, ooh
Graffiti on the overpass
The lyrics of "Overpass Graffiti" by Ed Sheeran in the song "Family Room" delve deep into the complexities of a broken relationship and the lingering memories of a past love. The opening lines set a somber tone, describing the situation as a "dark parade" and a "rough patch to rain on." Despite the solemnity, there is an acknowledgment that others may see it as a cause for celebration, highlighting the conflicting emotions and differing perceptions of the relationship's end.
The imagery of "photographs in sepia tones" and a fire struggling against the cold evokes a sense of fading warmth and nostalgia, emphasizing the struggle to hold onto fleeting memories. The mention of feeling the ghost of the past love and the realization that the odds were against the relationship further underline the themes of loss and inevitability in separation.
The chorus serves as a declaration of enduring love and a refusal to let the memories fade away like graffiti on an overpass. The singer acknowledges that time may alter perceptions but vows to hold onto the essence of what they were. The lines "You were the first full stop, love that will never leave / Baby, you will never be lost on me" convey a sense of permanence and deeply felt affection.
The second verse continues to explore the internal conflict and the struggle to come to terms with the end of the relationship. The reluctance to walk away and the inability to erase the past emphasize the deep emotional impact of the separation. The metaphor of being caught out in the snow depicts a sense of being stranded and overwhelmed by circumstances beyond control.
The repetition of the chorus in the final verse reinforces the message of unwavering love and remembrance despite the passage of time. The poignant lines "You were the first full stop, love that will never leave / Baby, you will never be lost on me" encapsulate the essence of the song's emotional resonance and the enduring bond that transcends the challenges faced. The reference to graffiti on the overpass serves as a metaphor for the indelible mark that love leaves on the heart, despite the impermanence of physical symbols fading over time. Overall, the lyrics of "Overpass Graffiti" poignantly capture the bittersweet essence of love lost but never forgotten.

This is a dark parade
This situation feels heavy and somber, like a dark procession
Another rough patch to rain on
Another difficult moment to endure and face
I know your friends may say
I understand that your friends might suggest
Photographs in sepia tones
Images with a nostalgic feel, capturing moments in muted hues
So still, the fire's barely fighting the cold
The passion and warmth are fading, struggling against the chill
I will always love you for what it's worth
I will continue to care and cherish you no matter the circumstances
We'll never fade like graffiti on the overpass
Our connection will always be visible and enduring, like street art on a bridge
And I know time may change the way you think of us
I understand that time might alter your perception of our relationship
But I'll remember the way we were
But I will hold onto memories of our past together
You were the first full stop, love that will never leave
You marked a significant point in my life, a love that will always stay with me
There are times when I can feel your ghost
Sometimes I sense your presence lingering after you're gone
Just when I'm almost letting you go
Just as I'm on the verge of moving on from you
The cards were stacked against us both
The circumstances were challenging for both of us
