Intoxicated

Lara Fabian

I feel you all around me
Though you're no more in this space
You're nowhere to be found
There's not a breath of you in here

Leaving us behind
I just can't do it all the way
And Nothing can describe
The feeling of dancing with this pain

I toss and turn and then
I roll on your side of the bed
I touch your absent face
No tear will ever bring your back

I'm broken inside
And I wish I could go where you went
I'll fall asleep until I see you
At the other end.
How can I stand alive with only half a life?
How can I love so hard with only half a heart?
Where do I go from here?
How do I breathe in here?
I guess it must be true
I am intoxicated by
You...

I try to store away
Pictures and little souvenirs
I found a tone to say I'll be okay
Look, I'm still here

Lying is my way
To keep these feet walking around
While my soul instead
Has found a way to reach your ground

How can I stand alive with only half a life?
How can I love so hard with only half a heart?
Where do I go from here?
How do I breathe in here?
I guess it must be true
I am intoxicated by
You...
By you...

I guess it must be true
I am intoxicated by...

How can I stand alive with only half alive?
How can I love so hard with only half a heart?
Where do I go from here?
How do I breathe in here?
I guess it must be true
I am intoxicated
By you...

I am intoxicated
Intoxicated
By...
You...

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.

Head > Heels
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.

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.
