I'm desperate to know how you are
I'll be deep asleep
I've been awake for days
I'm tryin' to study
Every inch of your body
In this picture
From a distant day
When I could safely say
Nothing in this world
Could tear me down in any way
But like a dream
You disappeared
Without a sound
Without a trace

Sleep well, darlin'
Where ever you are
I hope that you're happy tonight
And maybe you found someone to have you right

Sleep well, darlin'
I'm desperate to say
Now I need you more than ever
But all I can say was goodnight

This is for a girl back home
She tore down all my walls
Left me for all she'd known
But I pushed it all away from me
And I don't know
Even if I knew
Even if I knew what to say to you
It's just to late to make you stay
I'm sick of fighting
This broken fate
If someone else gets to tell you
That you're beautiful

Sleep well, darlin'
Where ever you are
I hope that you're happy tonight
And maybe you found someone to have you right

Sleep well, darlin'
I'm desperate to say
Now I need you more than ever
But all I can say was goodnight

It's the last thing I want
But it's all that I've got
It's the last thing that I need
But it's to carry you in my heart

It's the last thing I want
But it's all that I've got
It's the last thing that I need
But it's to carry you in my heart
In my heart

Sleep well, darlin'
Where ever you are
I hope that you're happy tonight
And maybe you found someone to have you right

Sleep well, darlin'
I'm desperate to say
Now I need you more than ever
But all I can say was goodnight

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
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.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
