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.
There she goes again
The girl I'm in love with
It's cool, we're just friends
We walk the halls at school
We know it's casual
It's cool, we're just
I don't wanna lead you on
No
The truth is I've grown fond, yeah
Everyone knows it's meant to be
Falling in love, just you and me
'Til the end of time, 'til I'm on her mind, it'll happen
I've been making lots of plans
Like a picket fence and a rose garden
I'll just keep on dreaming
But it's cool 'cause we're just friends
Small talk on IM
Just one word sentences
It's cool, we're just friends
If I had my way
We'd talk and talk all day
Yeah
Everyone knows it's meant to be
Falling in love, just you and me
'Til the end of time, 'til I'm on her mind, it'll happen
I've been making lots of plans
Like a picket fence and a rose garden
I'll just keep on dreaming
But it's cool 'cause we're just friends
Thinking about how
We're gonna say our vows
It's cool, we're just friends
As she walks down the aisle
I see all my friends smile
'Cause now we're more than friends
Everyone knows it's meant to be
Falling in love, just you and me
'Til the end of time, 'til I'm on your mind, it'll happen, oh
We've been making lots of plans
Like a picket fence and a rose garden
I'll just keep on dreaming, just keep on thinking
Of when we used to be just friends (la-la-la-la)
Oh yeah (la-la-la-la)
(La-la-la-la-la) oh-ooh-oh
(When we used to be) when we used to be
(La-la-la-la) just friends (la-la-la-la)
Ohh-oh (la-la-la-la-la) when we used to be just friends
The girl I'm in love with
It's cool, we're just friends
We walk the halls at school
We know it's casual
It's cool, we're just
I don't wanna lead you on
No
The truth is I've grown fond, yeah
Everyone knows it's meant to be
Falling in love, just you and me
'Til the end of time, 'til I'm on her mind, it'll happen
I've been making lots of plans
Like a picket fence and a rose garden
I'll just keep on dreaming
But it's cool 'cause we're just friends
Small talk on IM
Just one word sentences
It's cool, we're just friends
If I had my way
We'd talk and talk all day
Yeah
Everyone knows it's meant to be

Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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”

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.
