Ed Sheeran - Autumn Leaves
"Another day another life
Passes by just like mine
It's not complicated
Another mind
Another soul
Another body to grow old
It's not complicated
Do you ever wonder if the stars shine out for you?
Float down
Like autumn leaves
Hush now
Close your eyes before the sleep
And you're miles away
And yesterday you were here with me
Another tear
Another cry
Another place for us to die
It's not complicated
Another love that's gone to waste
Another light lost from your face
It's complicated
Is it that it's over or do birds still sing for you?
Float down
Like autumn leaves
Passes by just like mine
It's not complicated
Another mind
Another soul
Another body to grow old
It's not complicated
Do you ever wonder if the stars shine out for you?
Float down
Like autumn leaves
Hush now
Close your eyes before the sleep
And you're miles away
And yesterday you were here with me
Another tear
Another cry
Another place for us to die
It's not complicated
Another love that's gone to waste
Another light lost from your face
It's complicated
Is it that it's over or do birds still sing for you?
Float down
Like autumn leaves
Hush now
Close your eyes before the sleep
And you're miles away
And yesterday you were here with me
Ooh how I miss you
My symphony played the song that carried you out
Ooh how I miss you
And I, I miss you and I wish you'd stay
Do you ever wonder if the stars shine out for you?
Float down
Like autumn leaves
Hush now
Close your eyes before the sleep
And you're miles away
And yesterday you were here with me
Touch down
Like a seven four seven
Or stay out and we'll live forever now"
Close your eyes before the sleep
And you're miles away
And yesterday you were here with me
Ooh how I miss you
My symphony played the song that carried you out
Ooh how I miss you
And I, I miss you and I wish you'd stay
Do you ever wonder if the stars shine out for you?
Float down
Like autumn leaves
Hush now
Close your eyes before the sleep
And you're miles away
And yesterday you were here with me
Touch down
Like a seven four seven
Or stay out and we'll live forever now"
Ed Sheeran wrote this song about a dear friend that had passed away, and it is a bonus song on his debut album +. This is confirmed by Jake Goslings Youtube Video where he wrote in the description: “In Memory of Hans-Peter Gebhardt 1924-2008”

"Another day another life

It's not complicated
Another mind
Another soul
Another body to grow old
It's not complicated"
Everyday we get older and eventually die. And even spoken in simple terms, people don’t want to think of the fact that them and everyone they love will die. It’s inevitable. But, the truth is that the most painful goodbyes are the ones that are never said and never explained.
"Do you ever wonder if the stars shine out for you?"
It maybe a rhetorical question. The implication being that the person who has passed-away will never be forgotten, at any time or in any circumstance.
Also, with life passing by and us humans growing older everyday, Ed Sheeran wonders about the importance of life and everyone’s morality.
"Float down
Like autumn leaves"
Ed Sheeran uses autumn leaves as a metaphor for death. Autumn leaves are obviously dead, falling from a tree. The tree can be an example for planet Earth and autumn leaves for people. The person that passed away, unfortunately, is an autumn leaf.
It can also be interpreted as metaphor for someone being lowered into a grave, much like an autumn leaf wilting into the ground.
"And you're miles away
And yesterday you were here with me"
This line explains that death can take you everywhere, at any time. That’s the fugacity of life. You’re here right now, but you might not be living tomorrow.
"Another love that's gone to waste
Another light lost from your face
It's complicated"
With another life lost and the liveliness disappeared from the person’s face, it makes it much more harder to comprehend, thus making it more complicated.
People realize that it actually is complicated when they lose someone and get to the point of no return.
