Look at my face, I’m all sucked up I think I’ll sleep all day
I get the spins when my eyes are shut I hate feeling this way

Flush all the puke I'm throwing up!
In the toilet, this sucks!
Not a part of growing up!
Only spoils it
Life is boring, same old story
Get drunk, throw up, sleep all day
I am something, I’m not nothing
I can’t let myself decay

How did I get into my bed? I don’t remember anything
How did I get this bump on my head? It could have come from anything

Flush all the puke I'm throwing up!
In the toilet, this sucks!
Not a part of growing up!
Only spoils it
Life is boring, same old story
Get drunk, throw up, sleep all day
I am something, I’m not nothing
I can’t let myself decay

Tell me no gossip, I don’t wanna know
Jimmy got caught
Smelling like beer
By his mom and his dad
He’s grounded for a year
Lisa got popped
She got a DUI
She cussed out the cops
She’s lucky she’s alive
Tell me no gossip, I don’t wanna know
Pedro got jumped
He’s always starting fights
Every time he gets drunk
It happens all the time
Reggie OD’d
From slamming heroin
He’s not a dope fiend
He was trying to fit in
Take me away please
Oh know life blows

Flush all the puke I'm throwing up!
In the toilet, this sucks!
Not a part of growing up!
Only spoils it

Flush all the puke I'm throwing up!
In the toilet, this sucks!
Not a part of growing up!
Only spoils it
Life is boring, same old story
Get drunk, throw up, sleep all day
I am something, I’m not nothing
I can’t let myself decay

Come on, get up, let’s change!
Come on, get up, let’s change!
Come on, get up, let’s change!
Come on, get up, let’s change!

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
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.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

Page
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.
