1. Lyrics Breakdown
Ed Sheeran – Tenerife Sea
You look so wonderful in your dress
I love your hair like that
The way it falls on the side of your neck
Down your shoulders and back
We are surrounded by all of these lies
And people who talk too much
You got the kind of look in your eyes
As if no one knows anything but us
Should this be the last thing I see
I want you to know it's enough for me
'Cause all that you are is all that I'll ever need
I'm so in love, so in love
So in love, so in love
You look so beautiful in this light
Your silhouette over me
The way it brings out the blue in your eyes
Is the Tenerife Sea
And all of the voices surrounding us here
They just fade out when you take a breath
Just say the word and I will disappear
Into the wilderness
Should this be the last thing I see
I want you to know it's enough for me
'Cause all that you are is all that I'll ever need
I'm so in love, so in love
So in love, so in love
[6x:]
Lumière, darling
Lumière over me
Should this be the last thing I see
I want you to know it's enough for me
'Cause all that you are is all that I'll ever need
I'm so in love, so in love
So in love, love, love, love,
So in love
You look so wonderful in your dress

2. I love your hair like that
And in a moment I knew you, Beth
1 The protagonist is explaining the things he loves about his girlfriend. How wonderful she
looks to him, and how much she means to him. Even if it is just the way she has her hair.
2 The protagonist is explaining how people gossip and tell lies, possibly about their
relationship. It seems to the girl as if nobody else has anything else to talk about other than
their relationship, but the protagonist disregards other peoples opinions. It is their relationship
and nobody else’s opinion matters to him.
3 Repeated throughout the track, the protagonist is saying that if he were to die, he would die
happy because his girlfriend is his world. She is everything he ever needs; her presence fills
him with happiness.
4 The protagonist is so in love with his girlfriend. He can’t put it any other way. This is why
he constantly repeats it throughout the song.
5 Once again, the protagonist is singing about his admiration for his girlfriend. She is
beautiful to him, he relates her blue eyes to the Tenerife Sea (Song Title).
6 The protagonist is mentioning other people’s opinions/voices, as he did in an earlier verse.
He is saying that they ‘fade out‘ when his girlfriend takes a breath, showing that his main
interest is his girlfriend and he would do anything for her, all she has to do is say the word.
7 In this short hook, the protagonist is explaining that his girlfriend is the light in his life. She
shines over him and makes everything a brighter and better. She lights him up. Lumiere
means light in French.
8 Repeating the beginning of the song, the protagonist goes on to say that ‘In a moment I
knew you Beth’ which shows that as soon as he saw her, he he felt like he knew her, and knew
she was the one for him.
