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.
You say you want me to say, "I'm sorry."
But I don't have to and I don't want to say it,
'Cause I'm not sorry.
I've played the game and I, can't really say that I like it.
Can't really say that I hate it.
Can't really say that I've paid attention.
When grey skies turn blue,
I'll come back for you.
My mind can't change my heart there's nothing I can do.
When grey skies turn blue,
When dreams do come true,
Will you be the way that I remember you?
You say that life with me is driving you crazy,
But I don't see it and I don't wanna say it.
So I, I must be crazy.
I didn't mean a thing when I said, "Nothing is fleeting."
Or worth repeating. (Or worth repeating.)
Or worth repeating. (Or worth repeating.)
When grey skies turn blue,
I'll come back for you.
My mind can't change my heart there's nothing I can do.
When grey skies turn blue,
When dreams do come true,
Will you be the way that I remember you?
The cold wind on my face,
Is the only thing I felt,
In such a long time.
In such a long time.
It's been a long time.
Yeah, Yeah.
When grey skies turn blue,
I'll come back for you.
My mind can't change my heart there's nothing I can do.
When grey skies turn blue,
When dreams do come true,
Will you be the way that I remember you?
Will you be the way that I remember you?
But I don't have to and I don't want to say it,
'Cause I'm not sorry.
I've played the game and I, can't really say that I like it.
Can't really say that I hate it.
Can't really say that I've paid attention.
When grey skies turn blue,
I'll come back for you.
My mind can't change my heart there's nothing I can do.
When grey skies turn blue,
When dreams do come true,
Will you be the way that I remember you?
You say that life with me is driving you crazy,
But I don't see it and I don't wanna say it.
So I, I must be crazy.
I didn't mean a thing when I said, "Nothing is fleeting."
Or worth repeating. (Or worth repeating.)
Or worth repeating. (Or worth repeating.)
When grey skies turn blue,
I'll come back for you.
My mind can't change my heart there's nothing I can do.
When grey skies turn blue,
When dreams do come true,
Will you be the way that I remember you?
The cold wind on my face,
Is the only thing I felt,
In such a long time.
In such a long time.
It's been a long time.
Yeah, Yeah.
When grey skies turn blue,
I'll come back for you.
My mind can't change my heart there's nothing I can do.
When grey skies turn blue,
When dreams do come true,
Will you be the way that I remember you?
Will you be the way that I remember you?

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
"In religion and sociology, a cult is a cohesive group of people (often a relatively small and recently founded religious movement) devoted to beliefs or practices that the surrounding culture or society considers to be far outside the mainstream"
from the wikipedia page on "cult"
Christianity is one of the world's largest religions, therefore, it is not a cult.
lol five months later but its allright
