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.
The time is here again
Prepare to be apart
And it drives you crazy
Each time I go away
The distance gets longer
But it makes us stronger
Should it all come crashing
Down around me
Would you be there
Should I stumble and fall
Pick up the pieces
Wo-ho-oh
Forget about the shit that we've been through
I wanna stay here forever and always
Wo-ho-oh
Standing here in front of all of you
I wanna stay here forever and always
These days are dead again
It's empty from the start
And it drives me crazy
The hours drift away
It hurts to remember
This will soon be over
Should it all come crashing
Down around me
Would you be there
Should I stumble and fall
Pick up the pieces
Wo-ho-oh
Forget about the shit that we've been through
I wanna stay here forever and always
Wo-ho-oh
Standing here in front of all of you
I wanna stay here forever and always
Forever and always
Wo-ho-oh
Wo-ho-oh
Forever and always
Prepare to be apart
And it drives you crazy
Each time I go away
The distance gets longer
But it makes us stronger
Should it all come crashing
Down around me
Would you be there
Should I stumble and fall
Pick up the pieces
Wo-ho-oh
Forget about the shit that we've been through
I wanna stay here forever and always
Wo-ho-oh
Standing here in front of all of you
I wanna stay here forever and always
These days are dead again
It's empty from the start
And it drives me crazy
The hours drift away
It hurts to remember
This will soon be over
Should it all come crashing
Down around me
Would you be there
Should I stumble and fall
Pick up the pieces
Wo-ho-oh
Forget about the shit that we've been through
I wanna stay here forever and always
Wo-ho-oh
Standing here in front of all of you
I wanna stay here forever and always
Forever and always
Wo-ho-oh
Wo-ho-oh
Forever and always

Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“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.
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.
I agree with you guys. This song speaks to me because I hardly get to see the girl I love and it brings us closer every time we see each other.
