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.
Late at night I lose my focus
Late at night I'm calling out for you
It can't be right I got no focus
I hope you noticed
The chemistry is off the radar
Look at me I don't know what to do
This chemistry is off the radar
Let me see you later
Over and over you run in my mind
Give me one look and you know I'm fine
Can't you see we're only wasting our time
Baby thought you understood
It's the way you look, me
It's the way you move, me
And the way you touch, me
It's the way you love, me
What's the point? I can't remember
Where's the key? Well give it up to me
You got me boy and I surrender
Lets get you back to my
Over and over you run in my mind
Give me one look and you know I'm fine
Can't you see we're only wasting our time
Baby thought you understood
It's the way you look, me
It's the way you move, me
And the way you touch, me
It's the way you love, me
Baby it's simple to see
Baby it's simple
This is where I'm meant to be
This is where I'm meant to be
You stole a piece of my heart
You stole a piece of my heart baby
You're making me start all over
It's the way you love, me
And the way you move, me
It's the way you love, me
And the way you move, me
And the way you touch, me
It's the way you love, me
And the way you love
Every little thing you do
Everything that you do
You can put me in the mood
You put me in the mood
Now I'm looking straight at you
You're looking at me too
Yeah you know what I want from you!
Late at night I'm calling out for you
It can't be right I got no focus
I hope you noticed
The chemistry is off the radar
Look at me I don't know what to do
This chemistry is off the radar
Let me see you later
Over and over you run in my mind
Give me one look and you know I'm fine
Can't you see we're only wasting our time
Baby thought you understood
It's the way you look, me
It's the way you move, me
And the way you touch, me
It's the way you love, me
What's the point? I can't remember
Where's the key? Well give it up to me
You got me boy and I surrender
Lets get you back to my
Over and over you run in my mind
Give me one look and you know I'm fine
Can't you see we're only wasting our time
Baby thought you understood
It's the way you look, me
It's the way you move, me
And the way you touch, me
It's the way you love, me
Baby it's simple to see
Baby it's simple
This is where I'm meant to be
This is where I'm meant to be
You stole a piece of my heart
You stole a piece of my heart baby
You're making me start all over
It's the way you love, me
And the way you move, me
It's the way you love, me
And the way you move, me
And the way you touch, me
It's the way you love, me
And the way you love
Every little thing you do
Everything that you do
You can put me in the mood
You put me in the mood
Now I'm looking straight at you
You're looking at me too
Yeah you know what I want from you!

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.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
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.
