The song’s lyrics reflect a deep-seated fear of being hurt again, as seen in lines like “I’ve been a liar, been a thief, been a lover, been a cheat” and “All my sins need holy water; feels like I need to be baptized”.
These lines suggest a history of failed relationships and emotional scars that make the singer hesitant to fully commit to a new love.
The metaphor of diving into water, as in “I’ve come too far to watch some namedropping sleaze tell me what are my intentions,” symbolizes the leap of faith required to open up emotionally.
The song’s acoustic arrangement and Ed Sheeran’s signature vocal style further emphasize the raw, vulnerable nature of the lyrics, making it a poignant exploration of the complexities of love and trust.
