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.

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.
You're the only one I love I won't let anyone bother that Being held by a bubble of love You, who is mine only
Or that's how it was supposed to be, where did you go??
If crying ends it all, then cry Every love is a bubble When you fall in love the next time Have one with your name on it Bubbles
"You're the only one I love" That's what I believed But for you, it's just "girls, girls, girls" You always held the reins
In this whole world In all the living girls If you put them all in a rank Where am I?
It won't come back by just waiting Every love is a bubble When you fall in love the next time Have one with your name on it Bubbles
You said you really loved me! I'll do anything! Tell me if anything is wrong! Please? Please? Hey! I'm serious! Turn off your cell phone You talked to me knowing what my feelings were, right? Yes? You love me, right? Just hold me tight~!
If crying ends it all, then cry all you want Every love is a bubble When you fall in love the next time Have one with your name on it Bubbles
"You're the only one I love" And I really loved a lot... I was even ready for all the hardships If I could smile at the end
In this whole world If you are an attractive woman Then how many get an award for it?
It won't come back by just waiting Every love is a bubble When you fall in love the next time Have one with your name on it Bubbles
If crying ends it all, then cry all you want Every love is a bubble When you fall in love the next time Have one with your name on it Bubbles
