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.
Back at you
Right back at you
Drove around the block, drove a lot
Lookin' all around, don't see no cops
Whispered in your ear, a ghetto star
Sittin' on my lap inside of my car
Lookin' at my lips, take a taste
Taste yours too, rub your back
Run your fingers on the logo of my baseball hat
Moonlight dancin' inside of your eyes
Close your legs, I start to sigh
Now I reach down to unlace my Nikes
Kick off your Adidas cause that's what you like
Chris Tucker joke passed inside of my head
Put the thought away think of you instead
Hot outside, it's hot in here
Roll down the window the breeze in your hair
Your earrings shake, you a baby doll
You say you want me but did you want them all??
Make me feel special, I know that you can
Make me feel special like a prominent man
Prominent, dominant McCoy and I'm real
Another brotha's fan? Forget how he feel
Me and you girl go against the world
Against the world?
Hell yeah the world
Me and you girl go against the world
Against the world?
Hell yeah the world
Me and you girl go against the world
Against the world?
Hell yeah the world
Me and you girl go against the world
Against the world?
Hell yeah the world
Yeah the world, whole wide world
Dame un beso, s'il vous plait
Or can you hold my hand, it's better that way
If we was on video I'd press rewind
A nigga think about you all the time
Pidgeon dropped a note on top my head
RnB, pop, girl's a thoroughbred
Run around the track, let me slow you down
Pick you up
Raise your cup, let love erupt
Vol-ca-no, natural disaster
Fall in love with me? huh, well that's that ass
Wanna get you, inside my world
Process, straight, afro or curl
Stretch me out, phase me in
Forever you in need let me see you grin?
He fucked you, I'm a tap his chin
Make me feel special, I know that you can
Make me feel special like a prominent man
Prominent, dominant McCoy and I'm real
Another brotha's fan? forget he feel
Me and you girl go against the world
Against the world?
Hell yeah the world
Me and you girl go against the world
Against the world?
Hell yeah the world
Me and you girl go against the world
Against the world?
Hell yeah the world
Me and you girl go against the world
Against the world?
Hell yeah the world
Yeah the world, whole wide world
Right back at you
Drove around the block, drove a lot
Lookin' all around, don't see no cops
Whispered in your ear, a ghetto star
Sittin' on my lap inside of my car
Lookin' at my lips, take a taste
Taste yours too, rub your back
Run your fingers on the logo of my baseball hat
Moonlight dancin' inside of your eyes
Close your legs, I start to sigh
Now I reach down to unlace my Nikes

Hell yeah the world
Me and you girl go against the world

Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
