Sycamore Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sycamore in the summer bearing leaves
Swing, you're pushin' our daughter underneath
Flowers bloom in the garden, sway in breeze
Just imagine a world where we could be

[Pre-Chorus]
Right now, in the waiting room, emotions runnin' wild
Worried 'bout my lover and I'm worried 'bout our child
And part of me was always in denial, it's gonna take a little while

[Chorus]
But in our story, love in, love out
And we are glorious
Well, in our story, love in, love out
And we are glorious

[Verse 2]
Sycamore bringing shade from beating sun
Nothin' more than a word, a smoking gun
What a puzzlе is this to be in love
To be planting your roots, thеn dig them up

[Pre-Chorus]
Waiting on professionals to tell you how it is
What's he gonna say after "I think you better sit"?
Brace yourself, something's about to hit
It's gonna take a little while

[Chorus]
Well, in our story, love in, love out
And we are glorious
Well, in our story, love in, love out
And we are glorious
Well, in our story, love in, love out
And we are glorious
Well, in our story, love in, love out
And we are glorious

[Outro]
Sycamore in the field, a lonely tree
Darlin', what will become of you and me?

What did Ed Sheeran say about "Sycamore"?

“Sycamore” is one of the last songs I wrote for the album, in a time of real fear and uncertainty. We start life born with love and end it full of love, so it’s love in, love out x

and

This song is about finding out the worst possible news you could find out about the one you love. In this very moment it was just before we driven to the doctors for a checkup on what the next steps were, after finding out the news.
