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.
Ah, chaque soir a ta fenetre quand tu me regardes passer
Je semble voir dans ton etre une pauvre enfant delaissee
Et lorsque plus pres je m'approche que je vois ton beau sourire
Je sens que mon coeur t'apporte de bien plus doux souvenirs
Bonne nuit mon amour je pense a toi tous les jours
Et tu sais maintenant que je suis ton seul amant
Je voudrais en retour que tu sois toujours ma cherie
En passant, je te dis bonne nuit
Si tu pouvais lire dans mon coeur tu trouverais deux desirs
Celui de faire ton bonheur aussi celui de s'unir
Et pour la vie nous serions heureux loin de tous ces souvenirs
Nous partirions seuls tous les deux pour ne plus revenir
Bonne nuit mon amour je pense a toi tous les jours
Et tu sais maintenant que je suis ton seul amant
Je voudrais en retour que tu sois toujours ma cherie
En passant, je te dis bonne nuit
Je semble voir dans ton etre une pauvre enfant delaissee
Et lorsque plus pres je m'approche que je vois ton beau sourire
Je sens que mon coeur t'apporte de bien plus doux souvenirs
Bonne nuit mon amour je pense a toi tous les jours
Et tu sais maintenant que je suis ton seul amant
Je voudrais en retour que tu sois toujours ma cherie
En passant, je te dis bonne nuit
Si tu pouvais lire dans mon coeur tu trouverais deux desirs
Celui de faire ton bonheur aussi celui de s'unir
Et pour la vie nous serions heureux loin de tous ces souvenirs
Nous partirions seuls tous les deux pour ne plus revenir
Bonne nuit mon amour je pense a toi tous les jours
Et tu sais maintenant que je suis ton seul amant
Je voudrais en retour que tu sois toujours ma cherie
En passant, je te dis bonne nuit

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.
Plastic Bag

Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
