Nina Lyrics

I met you when I was a teen
But then you were one as well
And I could play the guitar
Just like ringing the bells
Sometimes I wonder
And any other summer could you have been my part time lover
To me listening to Stevie Wonder
Under the covers where we used to lay
And read stacks while the speakers play
I’ll be on tour almost every day
When I was home up in my flat is where we used to stay
Just watching the DVD, smoking illegal weed
Getting high, two cars, we needed to breathe
We used each other’s edge just for the people to see
And stay up all night like when we needed to sleep
We go anywhere, our minds would take us
And also you are beautiful without your make-up
And you don’t even need to worry about your weight 'cause
We can all be loved the way that God made us
And time’s the only reason that we could break up
'Cause you would always tell me I'mma wait too much
Distance is relative to the time that it takes to get on a plane
Or make a mistake, say it again

Oh Nina
You should go Nina
'Cause I ain’t never coming home
In a road, won’t you leave me now
And I’ve been living on the road Nina
And then again you should know Nina
'Cause that’s you and me
Both in a road, won’t you leave me now
Now

And every weekend in the winter
You’d be wearing my hood
With jewels, strings pulled tight
To keep your face in the cold
Taking day trips to the local
Where we D on the road
'Cause every day when I was a baby
Don’t you speak on the phone
Watching Blue Planet
Creating new habits
And if we were two rabbits
And then you'd vanish
Back to burrow all of the ‘queltics’ are disappearing
You call me selfish, I don’t understand
But I can’t help it
I put my trouble for everything
Except my family and friends
But you’ll be in between forever
So I guess we’ll have to take a step back
Overlook the situation
'Cause mixing business and feelings will only lead to complications
And I’m not saying we should be taking a break
Just re-evaluating quick before we make a mistake and it’s too late
So we can either deal with the pain
Or wait to get on the plane
But in the day we’ll have to say it again

Oh Nina
You should go Nina
'Cause I ain’t never coming home
In a road, won’t you leave me now
And I’ve been living on the road Nina
And then again you should know Nina
'Cause that’s you and me
Both in a road, won’t you leave me now
Now

Love will come and love will go
But you can make it on your own
Sing that song, go, oh won’t you leave me now
People grow, and fall apart
But you can mend your broken heart
Take it back, oh won’t you leave me now

Oh Nina (Love will come and love will go)
You should go Nina (But you can make it on your own)
'Cause I ain’t never coming home (Sing that song, go)
In a road, won’t you leave me now
And I’ve been living on the road Nina (People grow, and fall apart)
And then again you should know Nina (But you can mend your broken heart)
'Cause that’s you and me (Take it back)
Both in a road, won’t you leave me now
Now

Oh Nina (Love will come and love will go)
You should go Nina (But you can make it on your own)
'Cause I ain’t never coming home (Sing that song, go)
In a road, won’t you leave me now
And I’ve been living on the road Nina (People grow, and fall apart)
And then again you should know Nina (But you can mend your broken heart)
'Cause that’s you and me (Take it back)
Both in a road, won’t you leave me now
Now

Nina

Sheeran wrote this with Snow Patrol's Johnny McDaid. The pair first got together in 2013 in Nashville to work on tracks for Sheeran's x album. "The first song we wrote together was 'Nina,' a love song about heartbreak, both self-inflicted and otherwise, where he basically calls someone up and advises her not to be with him," McDaid told Billboard magazine. "That sort of self-deprecating diary is pretty honest. Most people are fearful of being naked in front of the world, and afraid to expose their weaknesses. Ed isn't."

The pair became close friends and moved to Los Angeles together to continue working on x. Sheeran introduced McDaid to Courteney Cox, who became the Snow Patrol member's girlfriend.

Sheeran penned this about Scottish singer-songwriter Nina Nesbitt, who toured with him and also had a small cameo role in his "Drunk" video. The pair were also romantically involved for around a year. Sheeran explained during a Spotify track by track: "When you're a musician and you date someone, there's always an in-between. Like, you put your family and your friends first, always, and then your career second. But when you date someone, they kind of fall in between the family and friends and career, and you don't really know whether they're more important than the career or whether they're more important than family - so this is a song about that."

"You just need to find someone that's OK with it, and I think by the time you have kids, that's when your family comes first, and that's where the woman comes, because she's your family now," he added. "I think kids change everything, but up until then it's different. My family understand I had to go away for 12 months last year, but until you find a partner who'd happy with that, you shouldn't even bother. Well, you shouldn't bother committing."

The song is based on a sample of the piano from Wretch 32's "Welcome To My World," which is a track from the British rapper's third mixtape, Retrospective.
