Sheeran described the song as about the pain of love when you're separated from your love.
He called it his
"collateral" song, saying "If the rest of the album is sh*t we can sell it on this one" .
• Ed thought he wrote the song on 6th Street in Denver, Colorado, so he got a tattoo saying 6 ST.
But when he returned it he found out it was actually 6th Avenue.

and adolescence through real home videos of the singer.
Sheeran explained:
"A couple of reasons, I had no time to shoot an actual video, and two
I was sitting at home at Christmas and my dad had found all the old footage and
had it turned into DVDs for our Christmas present and we were looking through them
and I thought 'that's amazing stuff. We were making a big documentary
and so I asked if I could use some of that, and then looking at it I thought this could
work for a music video as it was going chronologically so it's cool."
