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.
Call my phone
Baby call my phone
Baby call my phone
I be waitin' to hear your ring tone
Call my phone
Baby call my phone
Baby call my phone
I be waitin' to hear your ring tone
Lost without my other
Half thought can I live with out you
I don't want another
That's why I'm messed up about you
Can't even dream with out seeing you
Why should I even try to breathe
And everything is off, without you
Guess it's all my fault, ladies sing the blues
No one could deny it
We were flying like United
Thought we'd never be divided
'Cause the love we had inside us was
Inseparable
If you open this song
And you're searching for the moment when two hearts went wrong
Inseparable
And jealous was your work
'Cause you swore you'd never ever give it up
'Cause you'd thought that ya'll was
Inseparable
Though we stay together
Always and forever
But now I see that no one is
Inseparable
Except for us
One of us just got to pick the phone up
'Cause I know we're still
Inseparable
Got photos of us on my refrigerator
Videos on my phone, why can't I just erase them
The first text I ever got from you still saved in my inbox
And I read it like time after time
Boy I'm lost, can't you look, won't you please find me
I'm down to my last tick, come rescue me
See it's broken my heart to the point where I don't need to have a reason now
Weak now 'cause I just ain't the same with out you
Boy I know we're
Inseparable
If you open this song
And you're searching for the moment
When two hearts went wrong
Inseparable
And jealous was your work
'Cause you swore you'd never ever give it up
'Cause you'd thought that ya'll was
Inseparable
Though we stay together
Always and forever
But now I see that no one is
Inseparable
Except for us
One of us just got to pick the phone up
It's been sixteen days since I held you tight
Balled up me and my pillow in the middle of the night
Boy I just wish you show up and make everything alright
So what you waiting for?
'Cause both us have thought of we're
Inseparable
If you open this song
And you're searching for the moment
When two hearts went wrong
Inseparable
And jealous was your work
'Cause you swore you'd never ever give it up
'Cause you'd thought that ya'll was
Inseparable
Though we stay together
Always and forever
But now I see that no one is
Inseparable
Except for us
One of us just got to pick the phone up
'Cause I know we're still

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
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.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
This is a pretty song about not understanding why a relationship seemed to fall apart. She thought they'd stay together forever and now she's counting the time they've been separated. She still believes that there's a chance, one of them just gotta pick the phone up....
