Ed Sheeran - Old Phone (Lyrics)

Details

Description

In "Old Phone," Ed Sheeran opens up about the emotional weight of revisiting the past through something as simple as an old device. As he scrolls through old messages and memories, he's hit with the realization of how much has changed—friends lost, relationships ended, and family ties strained. The song captures that strange mix of comfort and sadness that comes from looking back. It’s not just about the people he’s lost, but also about who he used to be. In the end, he chooses to put the phone away, acknowledging that while the past shaped him, holding onto it too tightly might only hold him back. It was released on May 1, 2025.

• Ed Sheeran - Old Phone (Lyrics)

[Verse 1]
I found my old phone today
In a box that I had hidden away
Nostalgia tryin' to lead me astray
Maybe I'll unwrite some wrongs
I charged the battery again
Combinations 'cause my passcode had changed
Opened up and saw familiar names
Now I wonder where they've gone

[Chorus]
Conversations with my dead friends
Messages from all my exes
I kinda think that this was best left
In the past where it belongs
I feel an overwhelming sadness
Of all the friends I do not have left
Seeing how my family has fracturеd
Growin' up and movin' on

[Verse 2]
I found my old phone today
Arguments that I tried to keep at bay
Thе ones who loved me, I just pushed them away
Couldn't tell the difference from the leeches
My closed hand still holds some mates
But if I'm open, it gets smaller day by day
I can't tell if it is pleasure or pain
Trying to keep within my remit

[Chorus]
Conversations with my dead friends
Messages from all my exes
I kinda think that this was best left
There in the past where it belongs
I feel an overwhelming sadness
Of all the friends I do not have left
Seeing how my family has fractured
Growin' up and movin' on

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh

[Bridge]
I found my old phone today
So full of love, yet so full of hate
I put it back inside there from whence it came
Nothing good will come from regretting

[Chorus]
Conversations with my dead friends
Messages from all my exes
I kinda think that this was best left
There in the past where it belongs
I feel an overwhelming sadness
Of all the friends I do not have left
Seeing how my family has fractured
Growin' up and movin' on

[Outro]
I found my old phone today
