Look at all those people
Living in those places
The look of desperation
Written on their faces

No escape no way out
Trapped in a cycle of doubt
Are they happy I don't know
Pockets are empty nothing to show

Living, just living
Hyped out on this
Crapped out on that
I'm tired, give me something
Is that all there is, is that all there is?

Not much hope for any future
No desire to recall the past
Lower standards of education
Hard to think when your stomach is empty

Pro-creation, no conscience, no caution
Another one look what you've done
Soon another mouth to feed
Babies for income, you can't tell me that's

Living, just living
Hyped out on this
Hyped out on that
I'm tired, show me something
Is that all there is, is that all there is?

Walls of many colors
Look at what they're saying
Territorial frustration
There's a war zone inside this nation

A young man stands accused
Street life, nothing new
Filled with anger, filled with hatred
The situation is understated

Living, just living
Hyped out on this
I'm crapped out on that
I'm tired, give me something
Is that all there is, is that all there is?

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.

Magical
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.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
