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.
I'll make them good girls go bad
I make them good girls go
Good girls go
(Good girls go)
I know your type (your type)
Yeah daddy's little girl
Just take a bite (one bite)
Let me shake up your world
'Cause just one night couldn't be so wrong
I'm gonna make you lose control
She was so shy
'Til I drove her wild
I make them good girls go bad
I make them good girls go bad
You were hanging in the corner
With your five best friends
You heard that I was trouble but you couldn't resist
I make them good girls go bad
I make them good girls go
Good girls go
(Good girls go bad)
(Good girls go)
I know your type (your type)
Boy you're dangerous
Yeah you're that guy (that guy)
I'd be stupid to trust
But just one night couldn't be so wrong
You make me want to lose control
She was so shy
'Til I drove her wild
I make them good girls go bad
I make them good girls go bad
I was hanging in the corner
With my five best friends
I've heard that you were trouble but I couldn't resist
I make them good girls go bad
I make them good girls go
Good girls go
(Good girls go bad)
(Good girls go bad)
Oh, she got a way with the boys in the place
Treat 'em like they don't stand a chance
And he got a way with the girls in the back
Actin' like they're too hot to dance
Yeah, she got a way with the boys in the place
Treat 'em like they don't stand a chance
And he got a way with the girls in the back
Actin' like they're too hot to dance
I make them good girls go bad
I make them good girls go
Them good girls go bad, yeah
(Good girls go bad)
I was hanging in the corner
With my five best friends
I've heard that you were trouble but I couldn't resist
I make them good girls go bad
I make them good girls go bad
I make them good girls go
(Good girls go)
(Good girls go bad)
(Good girls go)
I make them good girls go
Good girls go
(Good girls go)
I know your type (your type)
Yeah daddy's little girl
Just take a bite (one bite)
Let me shake up your world
'Cause just one night couldn't be so wrong
I'm gonna make you lose control
She was so shy
'Til I drove her wild
I make them good girls go bad
I make them good girls go bad
You were hanging in the corner
With your five best friends
You heard that I was trouble but you couldn't resist
I make them good girls go bad
I make them good girls go
Good girls go
(Good girls go bad)
(Good girls go)
I know your type (your type)

Yeah you're that guy (that guy)
I'd be stupid to trust

I make them good girls go bad
I make them good girls go bad

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
