HIVE OPEN MIC #WEEK 166 Ed Sheeran - Boat (cover) @samgolden

This is my entry into #openmic #week #166 with
the awesome theme: "Never give up"
This theme is chosen by the community's recent
Spotlight Artist: @ksam

I will be doing a song titled : "Boat" from ed sheeran new album"Subtract.

What does “Boat” by Ed Sheeran mean? According to Ed, the song is “basically a song about resilience.”

“Feeling at your lowest and wondering if you can get through it, basically,” he posted on his Instagram. “I wrote the song and finished it by the English seaside, which is, I think, very beautiful, but it is quite a bleak and cold place in winter. I was looking out at the sea and these crashing waves crashing down, and I sort of felt like that was a good metaphor of what was happening at the time with me. And that’s where the line ‘The waves won’t break my boat’ came from.”

Lyrics

Came in for the embers
Stayed out for the breeze
I need to feel elements to remind me
There's beauty when it's bleak
Stuck out long before lights down
Why do I breathe?
Oh, I know
The more that I love the less that I feel
The times that I jumped never were real
They say that all scars will heal but I know
Maybe I won't
But the waves won't break my boat
But the waves won't break my boat
Stones crash on the boardwalk
Wind rushed through the trees
I keep my eyes peeled
The memories always fall short
Of what we could have been
Left out long before last call
What do I need?
Oh, I know
The more that I love the less that I feel
The times that I jumped never were real
They say that all scars will heal but I know
Maybe I won't
But the waves won't break my boat
But the waves won't break my boat
But the waves won't break my boat
The waves won't break my boat
The more that I love the less that I feel
The times that I jumped never were real
They say that all scars will heal but I know
Maybe I won't
And the waves won't break my boat
