Ed Sheeran – “Old Phone” Live in Doha

I was like, well, I should probably write that song now, that's probably a good thing to do. So I wrote this song at about 2 o'clock in the morning, and I'm really glad I did. It comes out tomorrow, everywhere. And, you know, I'd encourage you to switch on your old device. There's, you know, there was a lot of pain and heartache that I found from switching on my device, but a lot of, like, heaping moments as well. You know, I found, like, emails from my dad that I hadn't seen in ages of pictures that I'd seen. It was like, it was a very nostalgic experience, both sad and happy. But yeah, so that's what this song is, it's kind of a nostalgic song that's sad and happy. I found my old phone today In a box that I had hidden away Nostalgia trying to lead me astray Maybe I would write some wrongs I'd charge the battery again Combinations, cause my heart's gonna change Opened up and saw a billion names Now I wanna make more decisions with my dead friend Messages from all my exes I kinda think that this was best left There in the past where it belonged I feel an overwhelming sadness Of all the friends I do not have left Seeing how my family has fractured Growing out and moving on I found my old phone today I didn't stay, I tried to leave it there No one spoke, they had to push them away Leeching My clothes had to still hold But if I'm hoping it's for the dead It's pleasure or pain Trying to keep within my dream And conversations with my dead friend Are screaming So full of love yet so bloody I put it back inside that room once again Nothing good will come from regretting Conversations with my dead friend Messages from all my exes I kinda think that this was best left There in the past where it belonged I feel an overwhelming sadness Of all the friends I do not have left Seeing how my family has fractured Growing out and moving on I found my old phone today
