I saw two people kissing on the street today
Holding hands and promising there be no end
I saw two people hugging on the street today
AS if there would not be no yesterday
And oh how they must think it is
To be an adult just like a kid
Living off my black and white
And adding color to my life

I saw a man looking at a lot today
Thought how he could use it in so many ways
Like tearing up your parking lot to build a house
So you'll just have to park your Volvo somewhere else
And oh how they must think it is
To be an adult just like a kid
Tearing up a parking lot
To build a home, to build a house

Ain't it strange
Ain't it strange
Ain't it strange
Ain't it strange

I saw two people dancing in the constant rain
Getting soaked and doing all they really can
Getting soaked and pretending they're in Hollywood
Doing all they really can and all they could
But oh how they must think it's strange
Standing out in the pouring rain
Come in where its warm and dry
Come in where its warm and dry

I saw a man singing on the street today
Singing songs he wrote about the ways today
How people walking by think he has got some nerve
He's singing in the street and singing on a curve
But oh how they must think it is
To be an adult just like a kid
And living off black and whites
And adding color to my life

Ain't it strange
Ain't it strange
Ain't it strange
Ain't it strange

Man walking plain
Strange all days
Forever way.
Ain't it strange.

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.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

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.
