Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Please allow me to adjust my pants
So that I may dance the good time dance
And put the onlookers and innocent bystanders into a trance
Give disease so the swine will marry and propagate lies.
Tough luck for elected officials. The beast you see got fifty eyes.
Bring it on home, spread the wealth. Play it cool, the hand's been dealt.
Now, all the odds are in our favor. Save the victory speeches for later.
Streets on fire, the mob goes wild.
21 guns, box made of pine, letter from the government sealed and signed
Delivered Federal Express on your mother's doorstep.
Condoleeza Rice is nice, but I prefer A-Roni.
And that man on the T.V. who speaks to the dead, you know that man's a phony.
Everybody move to Canada and smoke lots of pot.
Everybody move to Canada right now. Here's how we do it:
Bum rush the border guard before he and his dog ever knew it.
Streets on fire, the mob goes wild.
21 guns, box made of pine, letter from the government sealed and signed
Delivered Federal Express on your mother's doorstep.
So that I may dance the good time dance
And put the onlookers and innocent bystanders into a trance
Give disease so the swine will marry and propagate lies.
Tough luck for elected officials. The beast you see got fifty eyes.
Bring it on home, spread the wealth. Play it cool, the hand's been dealt.
Now, all the odds are in our favor. Save the victory speeches for later.
Streets on fire, the mob goes wild.
21 guns, box made of pine, letter from the government sealed and signed
Delivered Federal Express on your mother's doorstep.
Condoleeza Rice is nice, but I prefer A-Roni.
And that man on the T.V. who speaks to the dead, you know that man's a phony.
Everybody move to Canada and smoke lots of pot.
Everybody move to Canada right now. Here's how we do it:
Bum rush the border guard before he and his dog ever knew it.
Streets on fire, the mob goes wild.
21 guns, box made of pine, letter from the government sealed and signed
Delivered Federal Express on your mother's doorstep.

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.
This song is great, I love rebellious tunes. Not to mention it is done so well!
This song describes Worm Drink's (A conscientious objector) point of view on war, he doesn't want to have shit to do with it, and all that comes of it is bad.
Not much to it, Love the Chorus though, 21 guns, box made of pine, letter from the government sealed and signed delivered Federal Express on your mother's doorstep.
So awesome the first time I heard it, and will continue to be.
