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.
We ain't got time for nothing but hardcore
Take us to the stage for the televised encore
There's too much future to get out of the way
They're not gonna tell you
You gotta guess again
There's too much future to get out of the way
We don't want a half-soul
We just wanna get stoned
We ain't gonna die alone
Gonna make it through the blackhole
Take us to the stage for the televised encore
There's too much future to get out of the way
They're not gonna tell you
You gotta guess again
There's too much future to get out of the way
We don't want a half-soul
We just wanna get stoned
We ain't gonna die alone
Gonna make it through the blackhole

Magical

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Ed Sheeran
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.
ACTUAL LYRICS
All the colours I know are beautiful Viewed though a pure soul Viewed through a pure soul
In a town, my home Where the lights glow Only the blessed go Only the blessed go
Up and down the back roads With our eyes closed Dreaming of Tom’s ghost Dreaming of Tom’s ghost
Now that time’s clocked on When it strikes one We’re gonna get gone We’re gonna get gone
CHORUS Out of the gaze of the last night Into the heat of the street light In the past the future’s on our side For every moment in no-time
The street reflects the hot sun That we live from That we’re gonna die from That we’re gonna die from
In a town, my home Where the lights glow Only the blessed go Only the blessed go
CHORUS x2 + Out of the gaze of the last night Into the heat of the street light The sun, the moon and the stars sign For every moment in no-time
