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.
Look up and see the sky tonight it's beautiful
(Turbulence, turbulence)
Make sure that you look up tonight and see it all
(Turbulence, turbulence)
The stars across the fire and through the clouds
There's no need to be afraid anymore
With just enough time for one more song
When I wake up you're gone
To know you were mine was enough
And don't be scared
My friend who I depend on was always around
(Turbulence, turbulence)
My friend she is singing a perfect sound
There's no need to be afraid anymore
With just enough time for one more song
When I wake up you're gone
To know you were mine was enough
And don't be scared
You've got all that I need, your making my heart bleed
The sun ignored me until now, just lie here with me
Your eyes they hypnotize me every night I'm in a dream
Just lie here with me, just lie here with me
With just enough time for one more song
When I wake up you're gone
To know you were mine was enough
And don't be scared
There's no time for one last song
You took it away, and now it's all gone
(Turbulence, turbulence)
Make sure that you look up tonight and see it all
(Turbulence, turbulence)
The stars across the fire and through the clouds
There's no need to be afraid anymore
With just enough time for one more song
When I wake up you're gone
To know you were mine was enough
And don't be scared
My friend who I depend on was always around
(Turbulence, turbulence)
My friend she is singing a perfect sound
There's no need to be afraid anymore
With just enough time for one more song
When I wake up you're gone
To know you were mine was enough
And don't be scared
You've got all that I need, your making my heart bleed
The sun ignored me until now, just lie here with me
Your eyes they hypnotize me every night I'm in a dream
Just lie here with me, just lie here with me
With just enough time for one more song
When I wake up you're gone
To know you were mine was enough
And don't be scared
There's no time for one last song
You took it away, and now it's all gone

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
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.
