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.
I can see the light is shining
Fate has shown my destiny.
From the never ending fire, flames burning in me.
I won't wait 'till life has fading
away from the prophecy.
Time will tell if flames still burning
But it's ment to be.
In the sky the stars are shining all upon the Gods.
From their view they see it different how the dreams come true.
We are heading for tomorrow
We are heading for the light
Far away from lies and sorrows
We could make our paradise:.some never realize:.
I can't say I'm not religious.
but I don't mind if you're in church!"
I can't say "I am no sinner!"
Cause I'm filled with dirt.
Who I'm I to judge somebody?
I just want to be myself
I don't want to be a puppet
Time to come will tell:..
Fate has shown my destiny.
From the never ending fire, flames burning in me.
I won't wait 'till life has fading
away from the prophecy.
Time will tell if flames still burning
But it's ment to be.
In the sky the stars are shining all upon the Gods.
From their view they see it different how the dreams come true.
We are heading for tomorrow
We are heading for the light
Far away from lies and sorrows
We could make our paradise:.some never realize:.
I can't say I'm not religious.
but I don't mind if you're in church!"
I can't say "I am no sinner!"
Cause I'm filled with dirt.
Who I'm I to judge somebody?
I just want to be myself
I don't want to be a puppet
Time to come will tell:..

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.
