Shangri-La Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Going back, I'm not going back
The old house
We'll burn it to the ground
I dive in the deep and rapid river
The other side
Piece of never-neverland, land, land
[Verse 2]
Loneliness
No more loneliness
Just you and me and she is safe from harm
Supermoon lighting up the sky
All the swans spread their wings and fly
Again, again, again
[Chorus]
I didn't really know that I feel so cold
Until I found my Shangri-La
I didn't really know I could feel so old
Until I found my Shangri-La
I didn't really know that I felt so old
Until I found my Shangri-La
I didn't really know that I felt so cold
Until I found my Shangri-La
Going back, I'm not going back
The old house
We'll burn it to the ground
I dive in the deep and rapid river
The other side
Piece of never-neverland, land, land
[Verse 2]
Loneliness
No more loneliness
Just you and me and she is safe from harm
Supermoon lighting up the sky
All the swans spread their wings and fly
Again, again, again
[Chorus]
I didn't really know that I feel so cold
Until I found my Shangri-La
I didn't really know I could feel so old
Until I found my Shangri-La
I didn't really know that I felt so old
Until I found my Shangri-La
I didn't really know that I felt so cold
Until I found my Shangri-La
[Bridge]
Oh this night
Like a summer's dream, like a summer's dream
Like a summer's dream, like a summer's dream
Like a summer's dream, like a summer's dream
Like a summer's dream (Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah)
[Chorus]
I didn't really know that I felt so cold
Until I found my Shangri-La
I didn't really know how I felt so cold
Until I found my Shangri-La
I didn't really know that I felt so old
Until I found my Shangri-La
And I didn't really know that I felt so cold
Until I found my Shangri-La
[Outro]
Always, always, always, always, always
Change
Always, always, always
Always (Didn't really know, didn't really know)
Always (Didn't really know I could feel so old)
Always (Didn't really know I could feel so old)
Always (Didn't really know, I didn't really know)
Always (Didn't really know I could feel so old)
Always (Didn't really know I could feel so old)
Always (Didn't really know, didn't really really really know)
Always, always, always, always, always
Always, always, always, always, always
Always, always, always, always
Oh this night
Like a summer's dream, like a summer's dream
Like a summer's dream, like a summer's dream
Like a summer's dream, like a summer's dream
Like a summer's dream (Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah)
[Chorus]
I didn't really know that I felt so cold
Until I found my Shangri-La
I didn't really know how I felt so cold
Until I found my Shangri-La
I didn't really know that I felt so old
Until I found my Shangri-La
And I didn't really know that I felt so cold
Until I found my Shangri-La
[Outro]
Always, always, always, always, always
Change
Always, always, always
Always (Didn't really know, didn't really know)
Always (Didn't really know I could feel so old)
Always (Didn't really know I could feel so old)
Always (Didn't really know, I didn't really know)
Always (Didn't really know I could feel so old)
Always (Didn't really know I could feel so old)
Always (Didn't really know, didn't really really really know)
Always, always, always, always, always
Always, always, always, always, always
Always, always, always, always

Genius Annotation
The phrase Shangri-La refers to an imaginary place, a utopia, as described in British author James Hilton’s 1933 novel Lost Horizon.
Ed could be using Shangri-La to describe someone who he loves or feels a connection to as almost imaginary and close to perfection.
