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.
i wanna go to hawaii
build my castle outta sand
and i won't need anybody
telling me that i can't
and you can't say that you see me
if you don't know
who i am
you, can't say that you need me
if neither one of us can be found
if neither one of us can be found
i wanna soak up the water
i dream about you every night
and then my mind will be in order
take it away
in just one flight
then you can't say that you see me
if you don't know
who i am
you, can't say that you need me
if neither one of us can be found
if neither one of us can be found
if neither one of us can be found
build my castle outta sand
and i won't need anybody
telling me that i can't
and you can't say that you see me
if you don't know
who i am
you, can't say that you need me
if neither one of us can be found
if neither one of us can be found
i wanna soak up the water
i dream about you every night
and then my mind will be in order
take it away
in just one flight
then you can't say that you see me
if you don't know
who i am
you, can't say that you need me
if neither one of us can be found
if neither one of us can be found
if neither one of us can be found

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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.
it's definately about running away from problems, I think she's a dreamer, that had been crushed by reality after a long time of living in illusion. She realizes now that she can't be with the guy she dreams about every night. And it probably kills her, beacuse knowing that won't make the dream go away. Maybe they're too different to "find each other" and at the same time too busy trying, to be found by somebody else. what's sure she wants to get rid of this feelings and have she's careless life back
it's also probable that identify myself with her too much to see the truth meaning of the song but whatever;) it's still a great tune
