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.
Can anybody help me I'm outta plans
Guess I left my world in somebody's hands
I don't like to hurt but but everyone gets weak
Someone to rely on that's what I really need
Now here we stay its all that were worth
I've been through the pain and been dragged through the dirt
Whatever they tell you were bigger than words
I've been where your standing I know how it hurts
Let this be a song now and this be a day and we stand together well be okay
Because were survivors were making it work expecting the best when they hope for the worst
One love, this is the way we found
One love, even though they'll let you down
One love,nobody's perfect now
One love,don't let that hold you down
One love, lets stick together now
One love,we got to stand our ground
One love, its easy to believe in
One love, believe in you and me
One love
Now I cud try and fix this all by myself
But I know it'd turn out better if you help no one likes to hurt
But but everyone gets weak someone to rely on that's what everybody needs
Now here we stay its all that were worth
I've been thru the pain and been dragged thru the dirt
Whatever they tell you were bigger than words
I've been where your standing I know how it hurts
Let this be a song now and this be our day and we stand together well be okay
Because where survivors were making it work expecting the best when they hope for the worst
One love, this is the way we found
One love, even though they'll let you down
One love,nobody's perfect now
One love,don't let that hold you down
One love, lets stick together now
One love,we got to stand our ground
One love, its easy to believe in
One love, believe in you and me
One love its one love
I'm here to tell you its one love oh
One love said its one love
Sing with me one love
One love to be oh that's all we need
One love.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.

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.
amazing song, amazing music, sick dj
