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.
Oh, hey
Oh, yeah, oh, yeah
To you
Mmm, mmm, mmm
Oh, yeah, babe
My whole life has changed (My whole life has changed)
Since you came in (since you came in)
I knew back then (I knew back then)
You were that special one (you were that one)
I'm so in love (so in love)
So deep in love (so deep in love)
You make my life complete(you complete me)
You are so sweet (are so sweet)
No one competes (no one competes)
Glad you came into my life (my life)
You blind me with your love (love)
with you I have no sight (no sight)
Girl you open me I'm wide open
And I'm doing things I never do
But I feel so good, I feel so good
Why it take so long for me finding you?
This is my story and I'm telling you
It's not fiction, it's surely a fact
Without you right here having my back
I really don't know just where I'd be at
My whole life has changed (My whole life has changed yeah)
Since you came in, I knew back then (Ooh, oh, yeah)
You were that special one (You were that)
I'm so in love, so deep in love
You make my life complete (You make make my life complete)
You are so sweet no one competes(oh oh oh)
Glad you came into my life (Oh)
You blind me with your love, with you I have no sight
I analyzed myself, I was buck wild
Never thought about settling down
But all the time I knew I was ready
But not with all my friends around
But girl, I put you first now (I put you first now)
You made me, helped mold me (Mold me, baby)
Turned me into a man, I'm so responsible
And I owe it all to you
My whole life has changed (My whole life has changed)
Since you came in, I knew back then (come on)
You were that special one (You were that special one)
I'm so in love, so deep in love (Oh, oh, oh)
You make my life complete (You make my life complete)
You are so sweet, no one competes
Glad you came into my life (So glad you came in)
You blind me with your love (Blind me, baby),
With you I have no sight
(God has blessed me) God has blessed me, baby
Girl, He was good to me when He sent you
I'm so happy, I'm so happy, baby, oh, yes, I am
(Share my world) Come and share my world, baby,
Oh whoa yeah yeah

You make my life complete (You make my life complete)
You are so sweet (Yes, you did, baby), no one competes(No one competes, oh)
Glad you came into my life
You blind me with your love (Come on), with you I have no sight
My whole life has changed (My whole life has changed)
Since you came in, I knew back then (You made a difference in my life)
You were that special one (I knew you were that special one)
I'm so in love, so deep in love (When I first laid eyes on you, babe)
You make my life complete (You make my life complete, darlin')

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.
Magical
Ed Sheeran
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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
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.
