Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
If I've learned anything from this,
It would all be gone, it would all be gone
And I will take away your breath.
Just to turn me on, yeah you turn me on
Down where the city meets the sea
I sit and daylight speaks to me
She carries me away
Oh yeah
I'll find my way
Would fall from grace
With the little piece of you that's left in me
But then it's one, two, three and you're back to me,
And all the pieces fit together oh so perfectly
Enough to take me home
Just take me home
If I've learned anything from this,
It would all be gone, it would all be gone
And I will take away your breath.
Just to turn me on, yeah you turn me on.
We'll find our way
We'll leave this place
With the little piece of me that's left in you
But then it's one, two, three and you're back to me
And if you hear me loud and clear then what's the problem dear?
Why won't you take me home?
If I've learned anything from this,
It would all be gone, it would all be gone
And I will take away your breath.
Just to turn me on, yeah you turn me on.
Down where the city meets the sea
I sit and daylight speaks to me
She carries me away
Just take me home
Why won't you take me home?
If I've learned anything from this,
It would all be gone, it would all be gone
And I will take away your breath.
Just to turn me on, yeah you turn me on.
Down where the city meets the sea
I sit and daylight speaks to me
She carries me away
Down where the city meets the sea
I sit and daylight speaks to me
Yeah, daylight speaks to me
It would all be gone, it would all be gone
And I will take away your breath.
Just to turn me on, yeah you turn me on
Down where the city meets the sea
I sit and daylight speaks to me
She carries me away
Oh yeah
I'll find my way
Would fall from grace
With the little piece of you that's left in me
But then it's one, two, three and you're back to me,
And all the pieces fit together oh so perfectly
Enough to take me home
Just take me home
If I've learned anything from this,
It would all be gone, it would all be gone
And I will take away your breath.
Just to turn me on, yeah you turn me on.
We'll find our way
We'll leave this place
With the little piece of me that's left in you
But then it's one, two, three and you're back to me
And if you hear me loud and clear then what's the problem dear?
Why won't you take me home?
If I've learned anything from this,
It would all be gone, it would all be gone
And I will take away your breath.
Just to turn me on, yeah you turn me on.
Down where the city meets the sea
I sit and daylight speaks to me
She carries me away
Just take me home
Why won't you take me home?
If I've learned anything from this,
It would all be gone, it would all be gone
And I will take away your breath.
Just to turn me on, yeah you turn me on.
Down where the city meets the sea
I sit and daylight speaks to me
She carries me away
Down where the city meets the sea
I sit and daylight speaks to me
Yeah, daylight speaks to me

Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
American Town

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
well i can't believe TGP have so little comments. they really made a break through, i think they are going to get bigger and bigger. to think they are from melbourne.
matt's vocals are insane in this song. amazing
this is my most favourite song on the album!
i love this song so much, it seems to have so much meaning!! i guess the reason i don't like many singles is because i think they're the pop-ier ones with abit less meaning that have to be really simple and straight forward so the public don't get confused and so masses of people can 'accept' it, obviously i dont think this song is like that at all, it's brilliant, the lyrics have so much meaning, and matts voice is amazing, not to mention the other band members obvious talent. tgp never cease to amaze me.
increeeedible song. very simple lyrics but fit perfectly. song is addictive.
love this. have it on repeat.
could it be about lust?
I think this song is about a guy who has played up in the past, and he kind of clicks his fingers and an old girl from his past comes back to him. She knows how he is, so she doesn't 'take him home', and he can't fathom that. I think the daylight speaks to him when he's being pensive - reflecting on how he could have a problem.
It's an awesome song, and I predict TGP will be one of the next big things to come out of Australia. Kind of like how Gyroscope is turning out.
Mathews voice is angelic, as it is in a few more of TGP's songs. They are amazing live, and i cannot wait untill the 28th of may. :D
'I will take away your breath..'
i think it's about a guy trying to bring a woman from his past back into his life and she's apprehensive about getting back with him considering their history together.
I saw these guys at the My Chemical Romance concert last year before Circa Survive. They were awesome! Took me a while to get into them though...
Awesome song, Matt has a really good voice.
i love this song. and the getaway plan too. im seeing them play with kisschasy in sydney and cant wait XDDDDD
