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.
My girl's been a real whore
Spending her time with Theodore
Now Teddy he's my best friend but
With friends like these
Who needs enemies?
My mother she told me
You're being silly
Talking, talking crazy
Don't tell me what my problem is
Just tell me what
She's doing at his
Apartment at midnight
I didn't get an invite
Tonight on my birthday
That ain't half right
My best boy Teddy
Goddammit girl, just love me already
Can't you love, love, love me already
Love, love, love me already, baby
Won't you love, love, love me already
Love, love, love me already, baby
My father he told me
Biting and begging
That hurts your knees
You can't treat women like hotels
Why should she love you?
She knows you so well
Now I'm at a payphone
Humming so slow
To a busy tone
Now I knock on Ted's door
Keeping time with my heart beat
(He knocks on Ted's door
Keeping time with his heart beat)
Now I knock on Ted's door
Keeping time with my heart beat
The whore lets me in
And it looks (looks) like (like) a (a) party
Surprise, surprise it's your party, baby
I know you hate secrets but try not to hate me
Teddy and I, we kept it all on the slide
So baby don't cry
And please don't you try
So love me already
Love me already
So baby don't cry
And please don't you try
So baby don't cry
And please don't you try
So love, love, love me already
Love, love, love me already, baby
Love, love, love me already
Love, love, love me already, baby
Won't you love, love, love me already
Love, love, love me already, baby
Can't you love, love, love me already
Love, love, love me already, baby
Ready baby, ready baby, ready baby
Spending her time with Theodore
Now Teddy he's my best friend but
With friends like these
Who needs enemies?
My mother she told me
You're being silly
Talking, talking crazy
Don't tell me what my problem is
Just tell me what
She's doing at his
Apartment at midnight
I didn't get an invite
Tonight on my birthday
That ain't half right
My best boy Teddy
Goddammit girl, just love me already
Can't you love, love, love me already
Love, love, love me already, baby
Won't you love, love, love me already
Love, love, love me already, baby
My father he told me
Biting and begging
That hurts your knees
You can't treat women like hotels
Why should she love you?
She knows you so well
Now I'm at a payphone
Humming so slow
To a busy tone
Now I knock on Ted's door
Keeping time with my heart beat
(He knocks on Ted's door
Keeping time with his heart beat)
Now I knock on Ted's door
Keeping time with my heart beat
The whore lets me in
And it looks (looks) like (like) a (a) party
Surprise, surprise it's your party, baby
I know you hate secrets but try not to hate me
Teddy and I, we kept it all on the slide
So baby don't cry
And please don't you try
So love me already
Love me already
So baby don't cry
And please don't you try
So baby don't cry
And please don't you try
So love, love, love me already
Love, love, love me already, baby
Love, love, love me already
Love, love, love me already, baby
Won't you love, love, love me already
Love, love, love me already, baby
Can't you love, love, love me already
Love, love, love me already, baby
Ready baby, ready baby, ready baby

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Amazing
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.
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.
i love black kids.
before god damn it girl it's "That skeezer, how could he?"
Wow... these lyrics are amazing. It's definitly about jealousy. ;)
Oh, and this is song is fucking amazing! :]]]
This song is about the singer getting jealous because his girlfriend is hanging out a lot with his best friend, and he thinks they're having an affair. He's getting really angry about it, and decides to confront them/talk to them. When he does, he discovers that they were planning a surprise birthday party for him.
So it's basically about the stupidity of jealousy.
Teddy and I, we kept it all on the SLY
i love this band:)
wow. i always listen to this song but I clearly had no idea what the lyrics were other than "love me already." "love me already" was catchy enough, but i had no idea it was a whole story about how stupid jealousy is! It makes it even better than just another song about love
It's, "Teddy and I, we kept it all on the sly", not "slide"
Teddy and I, we kept it all on the sly So baby don't cry And please won't you try *To love me already?
