7 Of Ed Sheeran's Best Lyrics
Capital FM

Alright, everyone. We can relax now. Take a deep breath. Ed Sheeran released 2 new singles over the weekend after like 2 years of nothing, and honestly, I feel like 2017 has been saved. God bless.

So, in honor of his two new singles being released, I made a list of some of his best lyrics, in my opinion. It was hard to narrow it down, considering all of his songs are just written basically like straight up poetry, so almost every line is beautiful. But I did my best.


You Need Me, I Don't Need You

"They say I’m up and coming like I'm fucking in an elevator"

Probably my favorite song off of +, and this line just makes me laugh at the cleverness of it every time.


U.N.I.

"And I don't get waves of missing you anymore
They're more like tsunami tides
In my eyes"

This man excels at word play, it's incredible. Also, dang, depressing lyric.


The Man

"Success is nothing if you have no one left to share it with."

You ever have a lyric in a song, where every time you listen to it, you just are like, man, that is so good? That's like me with this lyric. Don't know why, but it's just so deep and kind of haunting. I love it.


Drunk

"What didn't kill me,
It never made me stronger at all"

Man, life definitely feels like this sometime.


Wake Me Up

"And I'll make you a heart pendant / With a pebble held in my hand
And I'll carve it like a necklace / So the heart falls where your chest is
...So you just need to breathe / To feel my heart against yours now"

This lyric is just so darn cute and innocent sounding, it's so sweet.



Afire Love

"My father told me, son,
It's not his fault he doesn't know your face.
"

If you heard a loud crack, that's just the sound of my heart breaking.


Castle On The Hill

"Found my heart and broke it here
Made friends and lost them through the years
And I've not seen the roaring fields in so long, I know I've grown
But I can't wait to go home"

This song just screams nostalgia, and I absolutely dig it.


There you have it, folks. And that's only from his albums + and X. He's got other EPs from previous years that I haven't even listened to yet! There's plenty of Ed's material to be heard, and I highly suggest you listen to it.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
