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."

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
