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.
She walks in as I'm walking out
Should I try this once again? Should I try this once again?
And as we kiss I remember how it felt
To fall in love when I was young
But I can't get that feeling back
She's got a killers grin on
Or maybe I'm just too jaded now
My god the killer is waiting
Don't say you care I know you don't
And I won't leave ill try and pretend
And I won't leave ill try and pretend
Cause we've got nothing to lose
But time so here we go again
I know you've been patient
But I can't stop from thinking
That when this ends
We'll be the worst of enemies
And now, and as she leaves
I remember times we shared
Can we try this once again?
Cause baby you're just what I need
And as the night grows cold
Well hold me tight, don't let me go
We got it all wrong but baby we'll figure it out
As you say that you care, I know you don't
And I won't leave ill try and pretend
And I won't leave ill try and pretend
Cause we've got nothing to lose
But time so here we go again
Dry your eyes, and come home
I feel so alone, and I do know
This is done now, but we will try until the bitter end
But we never made it
Like a bad dream I can't get out
And I can't take another second without you here
We tried time and over as it died
Maybe I'm the one to blame here
Girl just know I love you too
Now we're done so here we go again
I know that I was wrong
Should I try this once again? Should I try this once again?
And as we kiss I remember how it felt
To fall in love when I was young
But I can't get that feeling back
She's got a killers grin on
Or maybe I'm just too jaded now
My god the killer is waiting
Don't say you care I know you don't
And I won't leave ill try and pretend
And I won't leave ill try and pretend
Cause we've got nothing to lose
But time so here we go again
I know you've been patient
But I can't stop from thinking
That when this ends
We'll be the worst of enemies
And now, and as she leaves
I remember times we shared
Can we try this once again?
Cause baby you're just what I need
And as the night grows cold
Well hold me tight, don't let me go
We got it all wrong but baby we'll figure it out
As you say that you care, I know you don't
And I won't leave ill try and pretend
And I won't leave ill try and pretend
Cause we've got nothing to lose
But time so here we go again
Dry your eyes, and come home
I feel so alone, and I do know
This is done now, but we will try until the bitter end
But we never made it
Like a bad dream I can't get out
And I can't take another second without you here
We tried time and over as it died
Maybe I'm the one to blame here
Girl just know I love you too
Now we're done so here we go again
I know that I was wrong

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.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
