In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
i went through the automatic doors my shopping cart ran in to hers our eyes met for a second, then she turned away and after just a little while i went in to the canned goods aisle and there she was just standing there smiling i was hoping she'd look at me but she was checking out the lima beans and artichoke, my heart was broken in pieces by my supermarket fantasy i didn't want to seem obsessed i checked farina off my list but i couldn't keep my mind off those perfect lips i saw her start to walk my way thought that everything would be ok then i ran in to the cocoa puffs display i hurried to the checkout line wishing i could push back time i looked around and she was right behind me my supermarket fantasy i want to clip your coupons girl i want to squeeze your charmin too i want to be your grocery bagger forever and we'll go shopping every night up and down the empty aisles and i'll always make sure your melons are ripe but i can't get up the nerve i can have the best buys in the world but i'll never share a shopping cart with her my supermarket fantasy

Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
I couldnt agree more!
