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.
Miss your smile
Miss the moments
We were wild
We will always be
In my heart
Couldn't hold it
When you left you took the melody
It's not our choice
But it still feels wrong
Without your voice it's just not a song
It's just not a song
Cause you make it real and it gets hard to feel
If you could only come back
Come back
I would give anything
Just want to hear you sing
If you could only come back
Come back
For, one more song
For, one more song
You're our friend and you'll always be
And your place
Are forever keep
When I'm down
I look up to the sky so you can lift me up
You can lift me up
It's not our choice
It's not our choice
It still feels wrong
But it feels so wrong without you
Without your voice
It's just not a song
It's just not a song
Cause you make it real and it gets hard to feel
If you could only come back
Come back
I would give anything
Just want to hear you sing
If you could only come back
Come back
To fill my heart again
With only music you can
Cause I will never be the same
Without your heart
Without your love
Without your soul
Cause you make it real and it gets hard to feel
If you could only come back
Whoo
Cause you make it real and it gets hard to feel
Come back
I would give anything
Just want to hear you sing
If you could only come back
Come back
For one more song
Come back
For one more song
Come back
For one more song
Come back
yeah yeah
I miss my friend
I miss his melody
Come back
Miss him now
Come back
Miss my friend
Miss his melody
Miss the moments
We were wild
We will always be
In my heart
Couldn't hold it
When you left you took the melody
It's not our choice
But it still feels wrong
Without your voice it's just not a song
It's just not a song
Cause you make it real and it gets hard to feel
If you could only come back
Come back
I would give anything
Just want to hear you sing
If you could only come back
Come back
For, one more song
For, one more song
You're our friend and you'll always be
And your place
Are forever keep
When I'm down
I look up to the sky so you can lift me up
You can lift me up
It's not our choice
It's not our choice
It still feels wrong
But it feels so wrong without you
Without your voice
It's just not a song
It's just not a song
Cause you make it real and it gets hard to feel
If you could only come back
Come back
I would give anything
Just want to hear you sing
If you could only come back
Come back
To fill my heart again
With only music you can
Cause I will never be the same
Without your heart
Without your love
Without your soul
Cause you make it real and it gets hard to feel
If you could only come back
Whoo
Cause you make it real and it gets hard to feel
Come back
I would give anything
Just want to hear you sing
If you could only come back
Come back
For one more song
Come back
For one more song
Come back
For one more song
Come back
yeah yeah
I miss my friend
I miss his melody
Come back
Miss him now
Come back
Miss my friend
Miss his melody

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.
