All i have's the journals that I write
Sketches of a 20-something life
Glory pieces shining on a page
Boxing nights of disappointing rage
Legends never leave an ounce of flesh
Colour fades a memory like death
I mistook with all the strength I had
Words laid down in mornings turning sad
Left a window seat for who may pass
I long to see a skirt or cotton blouse
Inside of a woman's changing room
Got invited back, gave opinion too
Coloured queen a winters night in a bath
Can you feel this prose tease out a laugh
All I have's this journal that I write
Sketches of a 20-something life

Never got to see the mighty sands
Settled for a back-row in the stand
Many New Years Eves' I spent alone
Shaking with the fear while crawling home
Digging even deeper down for oil
To fuel the fire roaring in my soul
Of course I wanted credit where its due
I feel so very blessed to play with you
We get over everything it seems
Wide awake while all around is dream
Dig your Autumn taste and marriage needs
For half a piece of mind, I mined your peace
Using every face I run into
Take a seat and tell me something new
All I have's these journals that I write
Sketches of a 20-something life

Maybe when I travel left of town
I could play the 20-something down
Pretend I've won the lottery and sing
Get into the mansion house and...
Bring, a bottle opened slowly at the door
Added to the missing lions roar
Didn't we go looking for the place
Where all my inspirations wrote their face
Telephone kept buzzing on the plane
Filming what could never be again
All I have's these journals that I write
Sketches of a 20-something life

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
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.

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

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.
