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 is everything I prayed for
Nothing I could want more
Then her in my life
Smiles wide
Diamonds in the sky
I told myself that I might
Fall in love tonight
I wish that you could
Let me know the same
Can you stick around?
Cause with you I don't care
And you brighten up my days
As if the sun wasn't there
Can you stick around cause with you I'm myself
And I promise there ain't anyone else
She wakes me up with
"I miss you's"
Wishing I could kiss you
Every single day
Eyes like diamonds in the sky
I wish you'd look in mine
And tell me you could stay
I wish that you could
Let me know the same
Can you stick around?
Cause with you I don't care
And you brighten up my days
As if the sun wasn't there
Can you stick around cause with you I'm myself
And I promise there ain't anyone else
She's the type of girl you marry
Bring back home to mommy
Get down on your knees
Moons bright diamonds in the sky
You look so wonderful
All day, all night
I wish that you could
Let me know the same
Can you stick around?
Cause with you I don't care
And you brighten up my days
As if the sun wasn't there
Can you stick around cause with you I'm myself
And I promise there ain't anyone else -
Nothing I could want more
Then her in my life
Smiles wide
Diamonds in the sky
I told myself that I might
Fall in love tonight
I wish that you could
Let me know the same
Can you stick around?
Cause with you I don't care
And you brighten up my days
As if the sun wasn't there
Can you stick around cause with you I'm myself
And I promise there ain't anyone else
She wakes me up with
"I miss you's"
Wishing I could kiss you
Every single day
Eyes like diamonds in the sky
I wish you'd look in mine
And tell me you could stay
I wish that you could
Let me know the same
Can you stick around?
Cause with you I don't care
And you brighten up my days
As if the sun wasn't there
Can you stick around cause with you I'm myself
And I promise there ain't anyone else
She's the type of girl you marry
Bring back home to mommy
Get down on your knees
Moons bright diamonds in the sky
You look so wonderful
All day, all night
I wish that you could
Let me know the same
Can you stick around?
Cause with you I don't care
And you brighten up my days
As if the sun wasn't there
Can you stick around cause with you I'm myself
And I promise there ain't anyone else -

Magical
Ed Sheeran

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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
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.
i love this song. it makes me wish that a guy could feel this exact way about me, haha.
