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 the sweetest things and I
Can't keep my heart from singing
Along to the sound of your song
My stupid feet keep moving
To this 4/4 beat, I'm in time with you
Oh whoa oh, to this 4/4 beat I would die for you (die for you)
(Someone stop this)
I've gone too far to come back from here
But you don't have a clue
You don't know what you do to me
Won't someone stop this song
So I won't sing along
Someone stop this song
So I won't sing
Well, I never let love in so I could keep my heart from hurting
The longer that I live with this idea
The more I sink in
To this 4/4 beat I'm in time with you
Whoa, to this 4/4 beat I would die for you (stop this song)
I've gone too far to come back from here
But you don't have a clue
You don't know what you do to me
And I've come too far to get over you
And you don't have a clue
You don't know what you do to me
Won't someone stop this song
So I won't sing along
Someone stop this song
So I won't sing
Your lovesick melody
Is gonna get the best of me tonight
But you won't get to me
If I don't sing
It creeps in like a spider
That can't be killed, although I try and try to
Well, don't you see I'm falling?
Don't wanna love you, but I do
(Lovesick melody) Can someone stop this song?
So I won't sing along
(Lovesick melody) Can someone stop this song?
So I won't sing
Your lovesick melody
Is gonna get the best of me tonight
But you won't get to me
No you won't get to me 'cause I won't sing
Can't keep my heart from singing
Along to the sound of your song
My stupid feet keep moving
To this 4/4 beat, I'm in time with you
Oh whoa oh, to this 4/4 beat I would die for you (die for you)
(Someone stop this)
I've gone too far to come back from here
But you don't have a clue
You don't know what you do to me
Won't someone stop this song
So I won't sing along
Someone stop this song
So I won't sing
Well, I never let love in so I could keep my heart from hurting
The longer that I live with this idea
The more I sink in
To this 4/4 beat I'm in time with you
Whoa, to this 4/4 beat I would die for you (stop this song)
I've gone too far to come back from here
But you don't have a clue
You don't know what you do to me
And I've come too far to get over you
And you don't have a clue
You don't know what you do to me
Won't someone stop this song
So I won't sing along
Someone stop this song
So I won't sing
Your lovesick melody
Is gonna get the best of me tonight
But you won't get to me
If I don't sing
It creeps in like a spider
That can't be killed, although I try and try to
Well, don't you see I'm falling?
Don't wanna love you, but I do
(Lovesick melody) Can someone stop this song?
So I won't sing along
(Lovesick melody) Can someone stop this song?
So I won't sing
Your lovesick melody
Is gonna get the best of me tonight
But you won't get to me
No you won't get to me 'cause I won't sing

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”

“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
