Ed Sheeran: One
“All my senses come to life
While I’m stumbling home as drunk as I
Have ever been and I’ll never leave again
‘Cause you are the only one”
“All my senses come to life
While I’m stumbling home as drunk as I
Have ever been and I’ll never leave again
‘Cause you are the only one”
“Hey angel, consider your position
Framed to be consumed
Savory
Savoring your sympathy”
“Bones, sinking like stones
All that we fought for
Homes, places we’ve grown
All of us are done for”
“Your fear of the leading light
if they are with you and your heart won’t fail
To see through a fearless eye
and know that danger finally goes away”
“Well there were days when you thought you’d just go under
And the weekends you never understood
When you flew from the bar only 17
You didn’t bleed, and no one ever thought you would”
“How much of my mother has my mother left in me?
How much of my love will be insane to some degree?
And what about this feeling that I’m never good enough?
Will it wash out in the water, or is it always in the blood?”
On my previous attempts at running, I took it on as a kind of adversarial task. I was trying to grind out the run, I was trying to endure the act of running.
My prior attempts/experiences with running were basically: run and keep running, for as long as you can. Try to ignore any pain or discomfort, and just push through it to keep running. My soundtrack reflected this.
“Late night
One more glass of wonder
Make a good night
Maybe we could stay up till the daylight
Steady in the movement of the stars”
“Up, up, and away, away from me
Well, it’s all right
You can all sleep sound tonight
I’m not crazy
Or anything”
“Left me in my tears to drown
She left a baby daughter
Now the river’s wide and deep and brown
She’s crossin’ muddy waters”
At some point about a week ago, this song entered my head. For I’d say about a week now, this song has not left my head.
I have no clear explanation. It just showed up, without any rent, and decided to squat. Despite recognizing the song/tune, I actually had to look up the band’s name.
“The summer days are gone too soon
You shoot the moon and miss completely
And now you’re left to face the gloom
The empty room that once smelled sweetly”
“If you return to love
The sky thick with sleepin’ doves
And the spider’s dirty web
Catch a ghost”
This seems appropriate.
“So it goes, though no one knows you
like they used to do
Have a drink the sky is sinking
toward a deeper blue”
