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 wanna know
What you really think of me
I wanna feel all the
Pain the sets you free
These waves of doubt
Are drowning me
Gone are the days
When this was easy
Buried in the past
So many moments I want back
Tomorrow doesn't
Hold onto yesterday
If I fall back into you
Don't fight it
Don't fight it
Show me what we've got to lose
Don't hide it
Don't hide it
Memories stuck in my head
All the things I should have said
If I fall back into you
Don't fight it
Don't fight it
I wanna know
After all these lessons learned
If there's a road
From these the bridges the we burned
I need to know
If you still want me
Want to me show how much
I need you
Buried in the past
So many moments I want back
Tomorrow doesn't
Hold onto yesterday
If I fall back into you
Don't fight it
Don't fight it
Show me what we've got to lose
Don't hide it
Don't hide it
Memories stuck in my head
All the things I should have said
If I fall back into you
Don't fight it
Don't fight it
Gone are all of the days this was easy
Tomorrow can't hold onto yesterday
If you come right back to me
I won't fight it
I won't fight it
Show me what you need from me
Don't hide it
Don't hide it
If I fall back into you
Don't fight it
Don't fight it
Show me what we've got to lose
Don't hide it
Don't hide it
Memories stuck in my head
All the things I should have said
If I fall back into you
Don't fight it
Don't fight it
What you really think of me
I wanna feel all the
Pain the sets you free
These waves of doubt
Are drowning me
Gone are the days
When this was easy
Buried in the past
So many moments I want back
Tomorrow doesn't
Hold onto yesterday
If I fall back into you
Don't fight it
Don't fight it
Show me what we've got to lose
Don't hide it
Don't hide it
Memories stuck in my head
All the things I should have said
If I fall back into you
Don't fight it
Don't fight it
I wanna know
After all these lessons learned
If there's a road
From these the bridges the we burned
I need to know
If you still want me
Want to me show how much
I need you
Buried in the past
So many moments I want back
Tomorrow doesn't
Hold onto yesterday
If I fall back into you
Don't fight it
Don't fight it
Show me what we've got to lose
Don't hide it
Don't hide it
Memories stuck in my head
All the things I should have said
If I fall back into you
Don't fight it
Don't fight it
Gone are all of the days this was easy
Tomorrow can't hold onto yesterday
If you come right back to me
I won't fight it
I won't fight it
Show me what you need from me
Don't hide it
Don't hide it
If I fall back into you
Don't fight it
Don't fight it
Show me what we've got to lose
Don't hide it
Don't hide it
Memories stuck in my head
All the things I should have said
If I fall back into you
Don't fight it
Don't fight it

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
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.
I think this song is about how he likes someone who he used to have a relationship with.
