Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Give me love like her
'Cause lately I've been waking up alone
Paint splattered teardrops on my shirt
Told you I'd let them go
And that I'll fight my corner
Maybe tonight I'll call ya
After my blood turns into alcohol
No, I just wanna hold ya

Give a little time to me or burn this out
We'll play hide and seek to turn this around
All I want is the taste that your lips allow
My, my, my, my, oh give me love
My, my, my, my, oh give me love
My, my, my, my, oh give me love
My, my, my, my, oh give me love
My, my, my, my, oh give me love

Give me love like never before
'Cause lately I've been craving more
And it's been a while but I still feel the same
Maybe I should let you go
You know I'll fight my corner
And that tonight I'll call ya
After my blood is drowning in alcohol
No I just wanna hold ya

Give a little time to me or burn this out
We'll play hide and seek to turn this around
All I want is the taste that your lips allow
My, my, my, my, oh give me love
Give a little time to me, or burn this out
We'll play hide and seek to turn this around
All I want is the taste that your lips allow
My, my, my, my, oh give me love
My, my, my, my, oh give me love
My, my, my, my, oh give me love
My, my, my, my, oh give me love
My my, my, my, oh give me love

M-my my, m-my my, m-my my, give me love, lover
M-my my, m-my my, m-my my, give me love, lover
M-my my, m-my my, m-my my, give me love, lover
M-my my, m-my my, m-my my, give me love, lover

M-my my, m-my my, m-my my, give me love, lover
M-my my, m-my my, m-my my, give me love, lover
M-my my, m-my my, m-my my, give me love, lover
M-my my, m-my my, m-my my, give me love, lover (love me, love me, love me)

M-my my, m-my my, m-my my, give me love, lover (give me love)
M-my my, m-my my, m-my my, give me love, lover (give me love)
M-my my, m-my my, m-my my, give me love, lover (give me love, love me)
M-my my, m-my my, m-my my, give me love, lover (give me love)

My, my, my, my, oh give me love
My, my, my, my, oh give me love
My, my, my, my, oh give me love
My, my, my, my, oh give me love

Of all the money that e'er I had
I've spent it in good company
And all the harm that e'er I've done
Alas it was to none but me
And all I've done for want of width
To memory now I can't recall
So fill to me the parting glass
Good night and joy be with you all

Of all the comrades that ever I had
They are sorry for my going away
And all the sweethearts that ever I had
They would wish me one more day to stay
But since it falls unto my lot
That I should rise and you should not
I'll gently rise and I'll softly call
Good night and joy be with you all

A man may drink and not be drunk
A man may fight and not be slain
A man may court a pretty girl
And perhaps be welcomed back again
But since it has so ought to be
By a time to rise and a time to fall
Come fill to me the parting glass




Good night and joy be with you all
Good night and joy be with you all

Overall Meaning

The song "Give Me Love" by Ed Sheeran is a plea for love and affection from someone special because the singer is waking up alone and craving for more love. The opening line "Give me love like her" hints at a past relationship that was fulfilling and loving, and how the singer wishes to return to that feeling of completeness. The lyric "Paint splattered teardrops on my shirt, told you I'd let them go" could be interpreted as the singer trying to deal with grief or heartbreak, or possibly, artistic expression. The line "And that I'll fight my corner, maybe tonight I'll call ya" could be implying that the singer feels vulnerable and is trying to reach out to someone for emotional support.


The song's chorus contains the line "give a little time to me or burn this out," suggesting that the singer is trying to make the relationship work and is willing to work through issues. The use of "hide and seek" as a metaphor for working through issues, makes the imagery of the song both whimsical and meaningful; a game of hide-and-seek requires time and patience, and this is something the singer is willing to indulge in. The lyric "All I want is the taste that your lips allow" is a poetic metaphor for romance, desire, and physical love.


Overall, the song is a mix of melancholic feelings of longing and desire, painted over gentle guitar notes and soaring vocals that crescendo to a climactic ending.


Line by Line Meaning

Give me love like her
I want you to love me like she did


'Cause lately I've been waking up alone
I've been feeling lonely lately


Paint splattered teardrops on my shirt
My tears have been leaving stains on my clothes


Told you I'd let them go
I promised to stop crying


And that I'll fight my corner
I'll stand up for myself


Maybe tonight I'll call ya
I might reach out to you later


After my blood turns into alcohol
Once I've had enough drinks


No, I just wanna hold ya
I just want to be close to you


Give a little time to me or burn this out
Let's work on our relationship or end it


We'll play hide and seek to turn this around
We'll try to fix things by playing games


All I want is the taste that your lips allow
I want to kiss you passionately


My, my, my, my, oh give me love
I really need your love


Give me love like never before
Love me more passionately than ever


'Cause lately I've been craving more
I've been wanting more from you


And it's been a while but I still feel the same
It's been some time, but I still feel strongly for you


Maybe I should let you go
Perhaps it's best if we break up


M-my my, m-my my, m-my my, give me love, lover
I really need your love, lover


Of all the money that e'er I had
Out of all the money I've had in my life


I've spent it in good company
I've spent it on great experiences with friends


And all the harm that e'er I've done
All the harm I've done to myself


Alas it was to none but me
Unfortunately, it only hurt me


And all I've done for want of width
And all I've done because I lacked wisdom


To memory now I can't recall
I can't remember it now


So fill to me the parting glass
Raise a glass with me before we part


Good night and joy be with you all
I hope you have a good night and a happy life


Of all the comrades that ever I had
Out of all the friends I've had


They are sorry for my going away
They'll miss me when I leave


And all the sweethearts that ever I had
All the lovers I've had


They would wish me one more day to stay
They'd want me to stay a little longer


But since it falls unto my lot
But since it's my fate


That I should rise and you should not
That I should live and you should not


I'll gently rise and I'll softly call
I'll leave quietly and say goodbye


A man may drink and not be drunk
A man can drink without getting drunk


A man may fight and not be slain
A man can fight and not be killed


A man may court a pretty girl
A man can pursue a beautiful woman


And perhaps be welcomed back again
And maybe she'll take him back


By a time to rise and a time to fall
There's a time for everything


Come fill to me the parting glass
Let's raise a glass before leaving


Good night and joy be with you all
Wishing you a good night and happiness

Hãy cho tôi tình yêu như cô ấy
Give me love like her

Vì gần đây tôi đã thức dậy một mình
'Cause lately I've been waking up alone

giọt nước bắn tung tóe trên áo sơ mi của tôi
Paint splattered teardrops on my shirt

Nói với bạn tôi sẽ để họ đi
Told you I'd let them go

Và rằng tôi sẽ chiến đấu với góc của tôi
And that I'll fight my corner

Có lẽ tối nay tôi sẽ gọi cho bạn
Maybe tonight I'll call ya

Sau khi máu của tôi biến thành rượu
After my blood turns into alcohol

Không, tôi chỉ muốn ôm em
No, I just wanna hold ya
Hãy cho tôi một chút thời gian hoặc đốt cháy nó
Give a little time to me or burn this out

Chúng ta sẽ chơi trốn tìm để xoay chuyển tình thế
We'll play hide and seek to turn this around

Tất cả những gì tôi muốn là hương vị mà đôi môi của bạn cho phép
All I want is the taste that your lips allow

Cho tôi tình yêu của tôi, của tôi, của tôi, của tôi, của tôi
My, my, my, my, oh give me love

Cho tôi tình yêu của tôi, của tôi, của tôi, của tôi, của tôi
My, my, my, my, oh give me love

Cho tôi tình yêu của tôi, của tôi, của tôi, của tôi, của tôi
My, my, my, my, oh give me love

Cho tôi tình yêu của tôi, của tôi, của tôi, của tôi, của tôi
My, my, my, my, oh give me love

Cho tôi tình yêu của tôi, của tôi, của tôi, của tôi, của tôi
My, my, my, my, oh give me love
Cho tôi tình yêu mà tôi chưa từng có trước đây
Give me love like never before

Vì gần đây tôi đã thèm muốn nhiều hơn
'Cause lately I've been craving more

Và đã lâu rồi nhưng tôi vẫn cảm thấy như vậy
And it's been a while but I still feel the same

Có lẽ tôi nên để bạn đi
Maybe I should let you go

Bạn biết tôi sẽ chiến đấu góc của tôi
You know I'll fight my corner

Và rằng tối nay tôi sẽ gọi cho bạn
And that tonight I'll call ya

Sau khi máu tôi chìm trong men rượu
After my blood is drowning in alcohol

Không, tôi chỉ muốn ôm em
No I just wanna hold ya
Hãy cho tôi một chút thời gian hoặc đốt cháy nó
Give a little time to me or burn this out

Chúng ta sẽ chơi trốn tìm để xoay chuyển tình thế
We'll play hide and seek to turn this around

Tất cả những gì tôi muốn là hương vị mà đôi môi của bạn cho phép
All I want is the taste that your lips allow

Cho tôi tình yêu của tôi, của tôi, của tôi, của tôi, của tôi
My, my, my, my, oh give me love

Hãy cho tôi một ít thời gian, hoặc đốt cháy nó
Give a little time to me, or burn this out

Chúng ta sẽ chơi trốn tìm để xoay chuyển tình thế
We'll play hide and seek to turn this around

Tất cả những gì tôi muốn là hương vị mà đôi môi của bạn cho phép
All I want is the taste that your lips allow

Cho tôi tình yêu của tôi, của tôi, của tôi, của tôi, của tôi
My, my, my, my, oh give me love

Cho tôi tình yêu của tôi, của tôi, của tôi, của tôi, của tôi
My, my, my, my, oh give me love

Cho tôi tình yêu của tôi, của tôi, của tôi, của tôi, của tôi
My, my, my, my, oh give me love

Cho tôi tình yêu của tôi, của tôi, của tôi, của tôi, của tôi
My, my, my, my, oh give me love

Cho tôi tình yêu, của tôi, của tôi, của tôi, ôi
My my, my, my, oh give me love
M-my my, m-my my, m-my my, cho tôi tình yêu, người yêu
M-my my, m-my my, m-my my, give me love, lover

M-my my, m-my my, m-my my, cho tôi tình yêu, người yêu
M-my my, m-my my, m-my my, give me love, lover

M-my my, m-my my, m-my my, cho tôi tình yêu, người yêu
M-my my, m-my my, m-my my, give me love, lover

M-my my, m-my my, m-my my, give me love, lover
M-my my, m-my my, m-my my, cho tôi tình yêu, người yêu
M-my my, m-my my, m-my my, give me love, lover

M-my my, m-my my, m-my my, cho tôi tình yêu, người yêu

M-my my, m-my my, m-my my, cho tôi tình yêu, người yêu
M-my my, m-my my, m-my my, give me love, lover

M-my my, m-my my, m-my my, cho tôi tình yêu, người yêu (yêu tôi, yêu tôi, yêu tôi)
M-my my, m-my my, m-my my, give me love, lover (love me, love me, love me)
M-my my, m-my my, m-my my, hãy cho tôi tình yêu, người yêu (hãy cho tôi tình yêu)
M-my my, m-my my, m-my my, give me love, lover (give me love)

M-my my, m-my my, m-my my, hãy cho tôi tình yêu, người yêu (hãy cho tôi tình yêu)
M-my my, m-my my, m-my my, give me love, lover (give me love)

M-my my, m-my my, m-my my, hãy cho tôi tình yêu, người yêu (hãy cho tôi tình yêu, yêu tôi)
M-my my, m-my my, m-my my, give me love, lover (give me love, love me)

M-my my, m-my my, m-my my, hãy cho tôi tình yêu, người yêu (hãy cho tôi tình yêu)
M-my my, m-my my, m-my my, give me love, lover (give me love)
Cho tôi tình yêu của tôi, của tôi, của tôi, của tôi, của tôi
My, my, my, my, oh give me love

Cho tôi tình yêu của tôi, của tôi, của tôi, của tôi, của tôi
My, my, my, my, oh give me love

Cho tôi tình yêu của tôi, của tôi, của tôi, của tôi, của tôi
My, my, my, my, oh give me love

Cho tôi tình yêu của tôi, của tôi, của tôi, của tôi, của tôi
My, my, my, my, oh give me love
Trong tất cả số tiền mà tôi đã có
Of all the money that e'er I had

Tôi đã dành nó trong công ty tốt
I've spent it in good company

Và tất cả những tổn hại mà tôi đã làm
And all the harm that e'er I've done

Than ôi, không ai khác ngoài tôi
Alas it was to none but me

Và tất cả những gì tôi đã làm vì muốn có chiều rộng
And all I've done for want of width

Để ký ức bây giờ tôi không thể nhớ lại
To memory now I can't recall

Vì vậy hãy rót đầy ly chia tay cho tôi
So fill to me the parting glass

Chúc ngủ ngon và niềm vui được ở bên tất cả các bạn
Good night and joy be with you all
Trong số tất cả các đồng chí mà tôi từng có
Of all the comrades that ever I had

Họ xin lỗi vì sự ra đi của tôi
They are sorry for my going away

Và tất cả những người yêu mà tôi từng có
And all the sweethearts that ever I had

Họ sẽ ước tôi ở lại thêm một ngày
They would wish me one more day to stay

Nhưng kể từ khi nó rơi vào rất nhiều của tôi
But since it falls unto my lot

Rằng tôi nên vươn lên và bạn không nên
That I should rise and you should not

Tôi sẽ nhẹ nhàng vươn lên và tôi sẽ khẽ gọi
I'll gently rise and I'll softly call

Chúc ngủ ngon và niềm vui được ở bên tất cả các bạn
Good night and joy be with you all
Một người đàn ông có thể uống và không say
A man may drink and not be drunk

Một người đàn ông có thể chiến đấu và không bị giết
A man may fight and not be slain

Một người đàn ông có thể tán tỉnh một cô gái xinh đẹp
A man may court a pretty girl

Và có lẽ được chào đón trở lại một lần nữa
And perhaps be welcomed back again

Nhưng vì nó đã như vậy nên được
But since it has so ought to be

Có lúc lên, có lúc ngã
By a time to rise and a time to fall

Hãy đến rót đầy ly chia tay cho tôi
Come fill to me the parting glass

Chúc ngủ ngon và niềm vui được ở bên tất cả các bạn
Good night and joy be with you all

Chúc ngủ ngon và niềm vui được ở bên tất cả các bạn
Good night and joy be with you all

Give me love like her
'Cause lately I've been waking up alone
Paint splattered teardrops on my shirt
Told you I'd let them go
And that I'll fight my corner
Maybe tonight I'll call ya
After my blood turns into alcohol
No, I just wanna hold ya

Give a little time to me or burn this out
We'll play hide and seek to turn this around
All I want is the taste that your lips allow
My, my, my, my, oh give me love
My, my, my, my, oh give me love
My, my, my, my, oh give me love
My, my, my, my, oh give me love
My, my, my, my, oh give me love

Give me love like never before
'Cause lately I've been craving more
And it's been a while but I still feel the same
Maybe I should let you go
You know I'll fight my corner
