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.
Wish I could see through, see deep into you
And know what you're thinking now
And if I were to need it, I need some kind of sign
Let me know 'cause I can't read your mind
Are you in? Or am I in this on my own?
I need some clue from you, let me know, babe
Do you feel you? Do you read me?
Tell me, am I gettin' through to you?
I wanna know, are you with me? Are you listening?
Baby, is my message gettin' through?
Do you feel me baby
Oh babe, 'cause I can feel you
You play it so cool
Won't let nothin' show through
Won't show what you're feeling now, no
And you like to keep keepin' me
Keeping me here in the dark
And I can't see through into your heart
Let me in, in on this mystery
'Cause I just can't stay in this guessing game
Do you feel you? Do you read me?
Tell me, am I gettin' through to you?
I wanna know, are you with me? Are you listening?
Baby, is my message gettin' through?
Do you feel me baby
Oh babe, 'cause I can feel you
And don't keep me hanging on the line, baby
Tell me if you want me and if you don't just let me know
Just answer one question
Don't keep me here guessing, tell me now
Do you feel you? Do you read me?
Tell me, am I gettin' through to you?
I wanna know, are you with me? Are you listening?
Baby, is my message gettin' through?
Do you feel me baby
Oh babe, 'cause I can feel you
And know what you're thinking now
And if I were to need it, I need some kind of sign
Let me know 'cause I can't read your mind
Are you in? Or am I in this on my own?
I need some clue from you, let me know, babe
Do you feel you? Do you read me?
Tell me, am I gettin' through to you?
I wanna know, are you with me? Are you listening?
Baby, is my message gettin' through?
Do you feel me baby
Oh babe, 'cause I can feel you
You play it so cool
Won't let nothin' show through
Won't show what you're feeling now, no
And you like to keep keepin' me
Keeping me here in the dark
And I can't see through into your heart
Let me in, in on this mystery
'Cause I just can't stay in this guessing game
Do you feel you? Do you read me?
Tell me, am I gettin' through to you?
I wanna know, are you with me? Are you listening?
Baby, is my message gettin' through?
Do you feel me baby
Oh babe, 'cause I can feel you
And don't keep me hanging on the line, baby
Tell me if you want me and if you don't just let me know
Just answer one question
Don't keep me here guessing, tell me now
Do you feel you? Do you read me?
Tell me, am I gettin' through to you?
I wanna know, are you with me? Are you listening?
Baby, is my message gettin' through?
Do you feel me baby
Oh babe, 'cause I can feel you

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
Its about a guy asking his girl if they share a connection, if she 'feels him like he feels her'. I love this song, it is absolutely amazing, no matter what genre of music appeals to you, you can't deny that this song is great, rally catchy.
