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 remember what you wore on our first date
You came into my life and I thought
"Hey, you know this could be something"
'Cause everything you do and words you say
You know that it all takes my breath away
And now I'm left with nothing
So maybe it's true, that I can't live without you
And maybe two is better than one
But there's so much time
To figure out the rest of my life
And you've already got me coming undone
Now I'm thinking two is better than one
I remember every look upon your face
The way you roll your eyes, the way you taste
You make it hard for breathing
'Cause when I close my eyes and drift away
I think of you and everything's okay
I'm finally now believin'
And maybe it's true, that I can't live without you
And maybe two is better than one
There's so much time, to figure out the rest of my life
And you've already got me coming undone
Now I'm thinking two is better than one
I remember what you wore on the first date
You came into my life and I thought, "Hey"
Maybe it's true, that I can't live without you
And maybe two is better than one
There's so much time, to figure out the rest of my life
And you've already got me coming undone
And I'm thinking
Ooh, I can't live without you
'Cause baby, two is better than one
There's so much time, to figure out the rest of my life
But I've figured out with all that's said and done
Two, is better than one
Two is better than one
You came into my life and I thought
"Hey, you know this could be something"
'Cause everything you do and words you say
You know that it all takes my breath away
And now I'm left with nothing
So maybe it's true, that I can't live without you
And maybe two is better than one
But there's so much time
To figure out the rest of my life
And you've already got me coming undone
Now I'm thinking two is better than one
I remember every look upon your face
The way you roll your eyes, the way you taste
You make it hard for breathing
'Cause when I close my eyes and drift away
I think of you and everything's okay
I'm finally now believin'
And maybe it's true, that I can't live without you
And maybe two is better than one
There's so much time, to figure out the rest of my life
And you've already got me coming undone
Now I'm thinking two is better than one
I remember what you wore on the first date
You came into my life and I thought, "Hey"
Maybe it's true, that I can't live without you
And maybe two is better than one
There's so much time, to figure out the rest of my life
And you've already got me coming undone
And I'm thinking
Ooh, I can't live without you
'Cause baby, two is better than one
There's so much time, to figure out the rest of my life
But I've figured out with all that's said and done
Two, is better than one
Two is better than one

Magical
Ed Sheeran
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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
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.
Page
Ed Sheeran
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 had to give this song a couple listens before I liked it. But I have to say, Taylor is what makes me like this song. I love her voice, and I wish she had more parts in it. (And I know this has nothing to do with the meaning, Sorry to you who hate that)
