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.
I was so empty, self-loathing
Before you woke me, lived in transgression
Feasted on sin, destroying all I stood for
A world of spreading disease
Suffer infidelity
They force feed of their stiffened sickness
The prophets hiding their rage
Just sucked out some of the pain
They take this world into lovelessness
All the pain in this world won't stop us now, for we have each other
All the hate in this world can't tear us apart, this love is forever
In arms we'll turn away, from their ways
We'll live like no other, together we're hope
Absolute, the only thing that matters
A world of spreading disease
Suffer infidelity
They force feed of their stiffened sickness
The prophets hiding their rage
Just sucked out some of the pain
They take this world into lovelessness
All the pain in this world won't stop us now, for we have each other
All the hate in this world can't tear us apart, this love is forever
All the pain in this world won't stop us now
All the hate in this world can't tear us apart
All the pain in this world won't stop us now, for we have each other
All the hate in this world can't tear us apart, this love is forever
Before you woke me, lived in transgression
Feasted on sin, destroying all I stood for
A world of spreading disease
Suffer infidelity
They force feed of their stiffened sickness
The prophets hiding their rage
Just sucked out some of the pain
They take this world into lovelessness
All the pain in this world won't stop us now, for we have each other
All the hate in this world can't tear us apart, this love is forever
In arms we'll turn away, from their ways
We'll live like no other, together we're hope
Absolute, the only thing that matters
A world of spreading disease
Suffer infidelity
They force feed of their stiffened sickness
The prophets hiding their rage
Just sucked out some of the pain
They take this world into lovelessness
All the pain in this world won't stop us now, for we have each other
All the hate in this world can't tear us apart, this love is forever
All the pain in this world won't stop us now
All the hate in this world can't tear us apart
All the pain in this world won't stop us now, for we have each other
All the hate in this world can't tear us apart, this love is forever

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”

Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

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.
