My baby wakes in the deep of the night
She doesn't need it but she says it's all right
My baby digs it, just a moment away
My baby gives it up every day

My baby gives it, she gives it away
My baby gives it up every day
My baby, she just gives it away

When you're alone in some city hotel
You can get company by ringing a bell
You might go pick up a girl on the street
But my baby gives it up totally free

My baby's counting won't cause you alarm
My baby's brother never break-a your arm
My baby ha, ha, I love her

She's cheap
Ooh
Ooh-ooh yeah
Ooh-ooh
My babe, my babe, my baby
My babe, my baby

You better buy yourself a new pair of shoes
And walk for a lifetime on the page three news
You better buy yourself a 'lectric guitar
You better play, there's no other way
To beat the blues

I beat 'em

My baby, my baby
My baby, my baby
My baby, my baby
My baby, my baby
My pretty baby

My baby, my baby
My baby, my baby
My baby, my baby
My baby, my baby
My baby, my baby, my baby

She gives it way
Every day
Every way
My baby just gives it away, my baby

My baby's momma is a singular girl
She brought up her daughter and she brought her up well
I'm breathing no more 'cause she took it away
My baby gives it up every day

My baby gives it, she gives it away
My baby gives it up every day
My baby, my baby
My baby, my baby
My baby, my baby
My baby, my baby
My baby, my baby
How I love her, yeah, ooh

My baby, my baby, she just gives it away, yeah
My baby, my baby, she just gives it away
My baby, my baby, gives it away

Let me tell you, my baby, she just gives it away
My baby, every day
My baby gives it up every day
My baby gives it, just gives it away

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.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

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.

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.
