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 go out 'cause I live in an empty house
And it rains and it rains and it never stops
I'm a case in this place now mixed up with you
I had a perfect fit until you called me up
Then it didn't even rain, the sun came up
Now there's nothing I can do, but fish around for you
I want to hear you talk to me every night
If anything goes wrong you can make it right
I never get the chance just to let you know
Let you know
The lemon that you aid doesn't have a pulse
Something that I'll never get if you never tell
No I'd never need a phone if you lived next door to me
And if it feels good to me that's something else
You're a softhead you think I'm a motormouth
But I never say a word that I don't hold dear to me
I want to hear you talk to me every night
If anything goes wrong you can make it right
I never get the chance just to let you know
Let you know, yeah
I want to make you feel something every night
If anything goes wrong I'll make it right
I never get the chance just to let you know
Let you know
Hope that it won't fuck up now that you know
I want to hear you talk to me every night
If anything goes wrong you can make it right
I never get the chance just to let you know
Let you know, yeah
I want to make you feel something every night
If anything goes wrong I'll make it right
I never get the chance just to let you know
Let you know
And it rains and it rains and it never stops
I'm a case in this place now mixed up with you
I had a perfect fit until you called me up
Then it didn't even rain, the sun came up
Now there's nothing I can do, but fish around for you
I want to hear you talk to me every night
If anything goes wrong you can make it right
I never get the chance just to let you know
Let you know
The lemon that you aid doesn't have a pulse
Something that I'll never get if you never tell
No I'd never need a phone if you lived next door to me
And if it feels good to me that's something else
You're a softhead you think I'm a motormouth
But I never say a word that I don't hold dear to me
I want to hear you talk to me every night
If anything goes wrong you can make it right
I never get the chance just to let you know
Let you know, yeah
I want to make you feel something every night
If anything goes wrong I'll make it right
I never get the chance just to let you know
Let you know
Hope that it won't fuck up now that you know
I want to hear you talk to me every night
If anything goes wrong you can make it right
I never get the chance just to let you know
Let you know, yeah
I want to make you feel something every night
If anything goes wrong I'll make it right
I never get the chance just to let you know
Let you know

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

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.

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.
its just a sweet, self-explanatory song about really digging someone.
This is about a guy that is really into a girl and he's finally let her know how he feels. But he's worried that it will screw up their friendship by telling her, "I hope that it won't fuck up now that you know."
Devinatly messed up the lyrics but i love the songs
