▶️ Watch on 3Speak

Greetings and salutations to my fellow hivers, welcome to another incredible week (294th) on the hive open mic community with an incredible theme for this week titled "love at first sight". I remain my humble self @coderaikiri and for my entry to this incredible theme, I have the privilege of presenting one of Ed Sheeran's song - Shape of you so stay tuned and enjoy.
Being a huge love song enthusiast and a die hard preacher of everything it represents, this week's theme was something that had me grinning from ear to ear and confused at the same time as I was flooded with numerous options with each looking like the perfect option. It took me awhile but I finally settled for this particular song as it reminded me of a time when everything felt like something straight out of a fairytale story.
Shape of you starts off exactly the way it what the requirements of this week represents. Two strangers hitting it of from their first interaction in the bar of all places to top it up. What even blows my mind even more is that fact that the girl actually approached the guy, something that almost never happens in my country and despite other guys being present she still choose to flirt with him and just him alone. From the story, you'll be surprised at the amount of things that can happen in just 24 hours as it was more than enough for two strangers to become soul mates, dancing together, getting in a taxi and kissing in the back seat like old time lovers. Shape of you is not just a song it is a love story about the strength of connecting with the right person. I believe we should all give it a try I know I have and I still feel like it's the best decision I ever made.....
Thanks and I hope you all enjoy

                      Lyrics

The club isn't the best place to find a lover
So the bar is where I go (mmmm)
Me and my friends at the table doing shots
Drinking fast and then we talk slow (mmmm)
And you come over and start up a conversation with just me
And trust me I'll give it a chance now (mmmm)
Take my hand, stop, put Van The Man on the jukebox
And then we start to dance
And now I'm singing like

Girl, you know I want your love
Your love was handmade for somebody like me
Come on now, follow my lead
I may be crazy, don't mind me
Say, boy, let's not talk too much
Grab on my waist and put that body on me
Come on now, follow my lead
Come, come on now, follow my lead (mmmm)

I'm in love with the shape of you
We push and pull like a magnet do
Although my heart is falling too
I'm in love with your body
Last night you were in my room
And now my bedsheets smell like you
Every day discovering something brand new
I'm in love with your body

Oh I oh I oh I oh I
I'm in love with your body
Oh I oh I oh I oh I
I'm in love with your body
Oh I oh I oh I oh I
I'm in love with your body
Every day discovering something brand new
I'm in love with the shape of you

One week in we let the story begin
We're going out on our first date (mmmm)
You and me are thrifty, so go all you can eat
Fill up your bag and I fill up a plate (mmmm)
We talk for hours and hours about the sweet and the sour
And how your family is doing okay (mmmm)
And leave and get in a taxi, then kiss in the backseat
Tell the driver make the radio play
And I'm singing like

Come on, be my baby, come on
Come on, be my baby, come on
Come on, be my baby, come on
Come on, be my baby, come on
Come on, be my baby, come on
Come on, be my baby, come on
Come on, be my baby, come on
Come on, be my baby, come on

Come on, be my baby, come on
Come on, be my baby, come on
I'm in love with your body
Come on, be my baby, come on
Come on, be my baby, come on
I'm in love with your body
Come on, be my baby, come on
Come on, be my baby, come on
I'm in love with your body
Every day discovering something brand new
I'm in love with the shape of you
