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.
Out of luck and out of tune
Half a day and I'm confused
Love may wash away the bruise
But I still ain't over you
Damn the day that I forgot
Came so close and almost lost
It's been one year and fourteen months
But I still ain't over you
[Chorus]
Hey, I'm the blood in your veins
I'm the cold when it rains
I'm your heart when it breaks
Time, no it ain't on our side
I'm the truth to your lies
Love your tear when you cry
Back and forth and side to side
Right ain't wrong if wrong ain't right
I will love you day and night
Cause I still ain't over you
[Chorus]
Cause when the walls come crashing in
When flames come coasting in
Just remember time again
I still ain't over you
[Chorus]
Half a day and I'm confused
Love may wash away the bruise
But I still ain't over you
Damn the day that I forgot
Came so close and almost lost
It's been one year and fourteen months
But I still ain't over you
[Chorus]
Hey, I'm the blood in your veins
I'm the cold when it rains
I'm your heart when it breaks
Time, no it ain't on our side
I'm the truth to your lies
Love your tear when you cry
Back and forth and side to side
Right ain't wrong if wrong ain't right
I will love you day and night
Cause I still ain't over you
[Chorus]
Cause when the walls come crashing in
When flames come coasting in
Just remember time again
I still ain't over you
[Chorus]

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”

“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.
i think the one year and fourteen months thing is him trying to pretend that it hasn't been as long as it has been since they were together. he's trying to glance over it, and reassure himself that after a year and a bit it's still okay to not be over her. but he can't admit that it's been two years and two months.
