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 have to climb the top
go on, don't give up
it never seems to end
It's controlling me
this ain't what I want to be
save me from this mess
To dance all the night in the midnight sun
that is my dream
the drops lick my skin
I dance with the wind
it blows me away
do ser hu som danse i skogen
me lette skritt
me lokkane øyne
hu strekke you'd hånnå
men do når an ikje
do ser hu
hu strekke you'd hånnå
men do når an ikje
Ã¥ dansa i midnattsol
de e min drøm
To dance all the night in the midnight sun
that is my dream
the drops lick my skin
I dance with the wind
it blows me away
go on, don't give up
it never seems to end
It's controlling me
this ain't what I want to be
save me from this mess
To dance all the night in the midnight sun
that is my dream
the drops lick my skin
I dance with the wind
it blows me away
do ser hu som danse i skogen
me lette skritt
me lokkane øyne
hu strekke you'd hånnå
men do når an ikje
do ser hu
hu strekke you'd hånnå
men do når an ikje
Ã¥ dansa i midnattsol
de e min drøm
To dance all the night in the midnight sun
that is my dream
the drops lick my skin
I dance with the wind
it blows me away

Fast Car

"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

Page

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 is i think about letting lose and going crazy, and forget about everything and be irresponsible
