For those of you who live under a rock, Ed Sheeran has finally come out with his new album, "÷," after nearly three years since the release of his last album, X, and a year-long hiatus in which he was completely MIA. I have been listening to the new album on repeat since it came out yesterday, and it has a completely different feel from his older music while still maintaining his classic style. While his musical talent is outstanding as always, Sheeran's lyrical abilities have always been what truly set him apart from other musicians. From writing all the songs in his past albums to writing songs for/with Justin Bieber, Taylor Swift, The Weekend, and others, Ed Sheeran's song lyrics have only gotten better over time, and it shows in his latest album. Some are melancholy, some are beautiful, and some are funny, but all of his lyrics make you feel something. So in honor of this momentous occasion, here are some of the best lyrics from each song in Ed Sheeran's new album, "÷."
1. Eraser
"I used to think that nothing could be better than touring the world with my songs,
I chased the picture perfect life, I think they painted it wrong."
2. Castle on the Hill
"I tasted the sweet perfume of the mountain grass I rolled down."
3. Dive
"I could live, or I could die,
Hanging on the words you say."
4. Shape of You
"You and me are thrifty, so go all you can eat, fill up your bag and I fill up a plate."
5. Perfect
"Darling, just hold my hand,
Be my girl, I'll be your man,
I see my future in your eyes."
6. Galway Girl
"I walked her home then she took me inside
Finish some Doritos and another bottle of wine
I swear I'm going to put you in a song that I write,
About a Galway girl and a perfect night."
7. Happier
"I know that there's others that deserve you
But my darling I am still in love with you"
8. New Man
"Let me remind of the days when you used to hold my hand,
And when we sipped champagne out of cider cans
I guess if you were Lois Lane, I wasn't superman, just a young boy trying to be loved."
9. Hearts Don't Break Around Here
"She is the lighthouse in the night that will safely guide me home."
10. What Do I Know?
"I'm all for people following their dreams
Just remember life is more than fitting in your jeans,
It's love and understanding, positivity."
11. How Would You Feel (Paean)
"We were sat upon our best friend's roof
I had both of my arms round you,
Watching the sunrise replace the moon."
12. Supermarket Flowers
"I hope that I see the world as you did cause I know
A life with love is a life that's been lived."
13. Barcelona (Deluxe Edition)
"I fell in love with the sparkle in the moonlight reflected in your beautiful eyes."
14. Bibia Be Ye Ye (Deluxe Edition)
"And in the pocket of my jeans, are only coins and broken dreams."
15. Nancy Mulligan (Deluxe Edition)
"From her snow white streak in her jet black hair
Over sixty years I've been loving her
Now we're sat by the fire, in our old armchairs
You know Nancy I adore you."
16. Save Myself (Deluxe Edition)
"I gave you all my energy and I took away your pain
Cause human beings are destined to radiate or drain."
