She couldn't take it, she had the notion
That I was leaving on the first flight back home
Go back to Jersey, her friends would all say
"It's better being home than being miserable anyway"
Before we go off, I have to say this
I never broke my promise
You lacked in that department
How could I be wrong?
How long could this stand?
Your heart knows me better than you think you know all your friends

I know that you're sleeping
You're running away with him
And I won't wake you up till its over
And I know that you're sleeping
Dreaming of what you've been
And I won't wake you up cause its over

To fix the problem, you'd have to find it
Look to your friends, you'll find an answer bearing any substance
Match made in heaven, broke in the suburbs
I saw the future so I guess I know why it hurts

And what's worse, is you, would never have to play the games that you put me through
With high hopes, to lose, I'm better off dead than ever being next to you

I know that you're sleeping
You're running away with him
And I won't wake you up till its over
And I know that you're sleeping
Dreaming of what you've been
And I won't wake you up cause its over

What more could you want that you haven't taken?
(What more could you want?)
The rules that were made were the rules we were breaking
(Rules we're breaking)
So what more could you that you haven't taken
The rules that we're breaking, it's yours for the taking

I know that you're sleeping
You're running away with him
And I won't wake you up till its over
And I know that you're sleeping
Dreaming of what you've been
And I won't wake you up cause its over

I know that you're sleeping
I know that you're sleeping
I won't wake you up cause it's over

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.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Ed Sheeran
“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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
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.
