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.
Caught in space and time
Like a bird in a cage
Cruelly confined
In a passing matters state
You suddenly realize
That the wrong is the right
Daring the laws
Ready to put up a fight
But...
Love will drag your heart away
To a world where dreams are made
Can't hide away
When your helpless mind obeys
Together we wait in silence
(Still are the cries)
Forever the fate is hungry
for your soul
Together we wait in silence
(Still are the cries)
Worth your while until you're gone
All the secrets of life reveal
To my eyes I can't conceal
And again I fly away
To a world where dreams are made
Together we wait in silence
(Still are the cries)
Forever the fate is hungry
for your soul
Together we wait in silence
(Still are the cries)
Worth your while until you're gone
Life's too short to grieve in sorrow
(Still are the cries)
Fate is waiting for your soul
(Secrets inside)
Live your life like no tomorrow
(Still are the cries)
Worth you're while until gone
Fate's gonna take your soul!
Like a bird in a cage
Cruelly confined
In a passing matters state
You suddenly realize
That the wrong is the right
Daring the laws
Ready to put up a fight
But...
Love will drag your heart away
To a world where dreams are made
Can't hide away
When your helpless mind obeys
Together we wait in silence
(Still are the cries)
Forever the fate is hungry
for your soul
Together we wait in silence
(Still are the cries)
Worth your while until you're gone
All the secrets of life reveal
To my eyes I can't conceal
And again I fly away
To a world where dreams are made
Together we wait in silence
(Still are the cries)
Forever the fate is hungry
for your soul
Together we wait in silence
(Still are the cries)
Worth your while until you're gone
Life's too short to grieve in sorrow
(Still are the cries)
Fate is waiting for your soul
(Secrets inside)
Live your life like no tomorrow
(Still are the cries)
Worth you're while until gone
Fate's gonna take your soul!

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.
