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.
Don't say you love me,
Don't say you care
You're so far away
Telephone communication,
Only a three minute elation
When I hear your voice
Through love and trust
It's gonna work out fine
The only pain I feel
Is all this time between
You and me, you and me
All the days have turned to years,
Only emphasize my fears
Since you said goodbye
I can hear your voice at night,
I can read the words you write
It's only love
Through love and trust
It's gonna work out fine
The only pain I feel
Is all this time between
You and me, you and me
Now don't say you love me,
Don't say you care
You're so far away
I can hear your voice at night,
I can read the words you write
It's only love
Through love and trust
It's gonna work out fine
The only pain I feel
Is all this time between
You and me, you and me
Through love and trust
It's gonna work out fine
The only pain I feel
Is all this time between
You and me, you and me
You and me
Don't say you care
You're so far away
Telephone communication,
Only a three minute elation
When I hear your voice
Through love and trust
It's gonna work out fine
The only pain I feel
Is all this time between
You and me, you and me
All the days have turned to years,
Only emphasize my fears
Since you said goodbye
I can hear your voice at night,
I can read the words you write
It's only love
Through love and trust
It's gonna work out fine
The only pain I feel
Is all this time between
You and me, you and me
Now don't say you love me,
Don't say you care
You're so far away
I can hear your voice at night,
I can read the words you write
It's only love
Through love and trust
It's gonna work out fine
The only pain I feel
Is all this time between
You and me, you and me
Through love and trust
It's gonna work out fine
The only pain I feel
Is all this time between
You and me, you and me
You and me

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.
