Thinking Out Loud Lyrics

Ive been losing my mind, Ive been living a lie
Ive been running away for so long
I try to put on a face and cover my heart
But Im needing it now so bad

I dont know how I feel
Maybe Im mad or maybe Im proud
Cant find the truth, cant speak...

    Simple meaning he is telling the woman he's with that come hell or high water until they grow old and die he will love her no matter what. He wants to spend his life with her. So basically he's proposing to said girl through song while simultaneously reassuring her that she is irreplaceable in his heart.

    In ways unknown and why most people come to the conclusion as to why this song means or has the meaning of love is beyond a mystery. So in my own heart and what this song means to me... I believe it means seeing that one person in a moment in time and everything is slow motion. The love is connected almost instantly, they aren't corrupted by hate, nor any other demeanor of negativity, they only see each other. Till the end of time it will be those two people, that against all odds and what we normally perceive as love, they actually found it. Through the fame, the happiness, and the weariness they continue to have the love they had and still continue to share through time.. Beautiful song. It's all in the understanding in eveyones eyes and how they see this song.

    He knows that for the love of his life, even when he has become older and is not famous any longer, he will still be the same for her.

    This song is clearly about loving someone until they turn 70. Then the marriage is over.

    People really fall in love in mysterious ways. My boyfriend and I when we first met he was too shy to tell me that he wanted to be with me so instead i had to ask him for is number an a couple weeks after we fell in love and the mystery about it is that we have been together for four year now . An the song thinking out loud is about being together forever and if all things fails the person you love will always be their with you no matter what . The way my boyfriend and I met is what the song thinking out loud is about a person finding their one true soulmate that they cannot live without and that's what my boyfriend is to me that's why we choose this song to represent the love we share for each other.

    This is a love story. He finds the love of his life and knows they will be together until death. Just by a simple touch he realizes this is THE ONE. It reminds me of my own marriage.

    "I keep on making the same mistake, hoping that you'll understand"
    I think this song about how deep he fall in love with a girl, but the girls doesn't love him back the way he does.
