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.
Lets just forget, everything said. Everything we did.
Best friends, better halves
Goodbyes, and the other night, we realized,
We were falling out of love
There were some things, that were said, that weren't meant
They never did
The last thing I want to be is overly dramatic
I just think its best
Cause you can't miss what you forget
So lets just pretend
Everything and anything
Between you and me
Was never meant
Best friends, better halves
Goodbyes, and the other night, we realized,
We were falling out of love
There were some things, that were said, that weren't meant
They never did
The last thing I want to be is overly dramatic
I just think its best
Cause you can't miss what you forget
So lets just pretend
Everything and anything
Between you and me
Was never meant

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.
he just re-did it because he needed a quick third song for his split with the rutabega. also lots of people wanted to hear him play it when he was out touring as owen.
