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 like the way we are, I love what we've become
When I'm in your arms, I know I've found the one
I love your kiss-me-mouth and your static touch
It's just the way you are, makes me feel so much, yeah
No one could ever know what we're like alone
Rollin' round like rain, we're a midnight storm
And like a river rising I feel it through your skin
When we're together, oh, I never want it to end, no
I thought I'd seen everything till I saw you
I thought I'd been everywhere till I'd been with you
I thought that everyone knew what I knew
I thought I'd seen everything till I saw you
I like the way we are, its like a raging fire
Burning up the night, burning with desire
You're such a sweet temptation, you know I can't resist
Electricity, hey, every time we kiss
Oh, I thought I'd seen everything till I saw you
I thought I'd been everywhere till I'd been with you, yeah
I thought that everyone knew what I knew
I thought I'd seen everything till I saw you
Yeah, I saw right through, oh, I see you coming
Hey, I thought I'd seen everything till I saw you
I thought I'd been everywhere till I'd been with you
I thought that everyone knew what I knew
I thought I'd been everywhere
I thought I'd seen everything, oh, till I saw you
Oh, all over and right through, yeah
I thought I'd seen everything, till I saw you
Like a midnight storm, you left me all alone
It's like a raging fire, I thought I'd seen everything, yeah
Till I saw you
When I'm in your arms, I know I've found the one
I love your kiss-me-mouth and your static touch
It's just the way you are, makes me feel so much, yeah
No one could ever know what we're like alone
Rollin' round like rain, we're a midnight storm
And like a river rising I feel it through your skin
When we're together, oh, I never want it to end, no
I thought I'd seen everything till I saw you
I thought I'd been everywhere till I'd been with you
I thought that everyone knew what I knew
I thought I'd seen everything till I saw you
I like the way we are, its like a raging fire
Burning up the night, burning with desire
You're such a sweet temptation, you know I can't resist
Electricity, hey, every time we kiss
Oh, I thought I'd seen everything till I saw you
I thought I'd been everywhere till I'd been with you, yeah
I thought that everyone knew what I knew
I thought I'd seen everything till I saw you
Yeah, I saw right through, oh, I see you coming
Hey, I thought I'd seen everything till I saw you
I thought I'd been everywhere till I'd been with you
I thought that everyone knew what I knew
I thought I'd been everywhere
I thought I'd seen everything, oh, till I saw you
Oh, all over and right through, yeah
I thought I'd seen everything, till I saw you
Like a midnight storm, you left me all alone
It's like a raging fire, I thought I'd seen everything, yeah
Till I saw you

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”

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

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.
God damnit Bryan!!! YOU DID IT AGAIN! It's freakin awsome song! I dedicate this song to you Whitney.
