"One" by Ed Sheeran (Breakdown)

One

 written by: Ed Sheeran

About:
It was the first single of his second studio album "X"

Meaning:
"One" is the only song on X that was written about the woman/girl (Alice) who inspired his first studio album. Its about the break up, his pain, wishes and hopes about her coming back. As he says in the song "you are the only one". Its about the time after the break up and describes his feelings while losing her.

Opinion:
Ed Sheeran is an amazing songwriter. This is one of my favourite songs on his second album. I love the way its just him and the guitar. The vocals are amazing and his way of expressing himself is really unique and amazing

Lyrics:
Tell me that you turned down the man
Who asked for your hand
Cause you're waiting for me
And I know, you're gonna be away a while
But I've got no plans at all to leave
And would you take away my hopes and dreams?
Just stay with me

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
And all my friends have gone to find
Another place to let their hearts collide
Just promise me, you'll always be a friend
Cause you are the only one

Take my hand and my
Heart and soul, I will
Only have these eyes for you
And you know, everything changes but
We'll be strangers if, we see this through
You could stay within these walls or leave
But just stay with me

Oh Lord, now

I'm stumbling out drunk, getting myself lost
I am so gone, so tell me the way to home
I listen to sad songs, singing about love
And where it goes wrong?
