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.
It'll end too soon if it ends at all
But I don't worry now
The friends of summer be the friends of fall
Days unravel in a seamless thread
I'll dream and I'll live on
When the dream is dead
Years from now
When I'm so very gone
Know that I did my best to carry on
From the saddest sads to the funnest fun
We kept it together
What's done is done
It'll end too soon if it ends at all
But I don't worry now
The friends of summer be the friends of fall
May your days unravel in a seamless thread
I'll dream and I'll live on
When the dream is dead
I've been to the future and back and all is fine
Endless days of flawless time
You pick up a thing or two along the way
I was gone back then, still I'm gone today
I've been playing it close
Playing it kind of safe
I just stay and the goes
Whenever there's time to waste
I've been playing it close
I've been playing it kind of safe
I just stay and the goes
Whenever there's time to waste
It'll end too soon if it ends at all
I don't worry now
The friends of summer be the friends of fall
May the days unravel in a seamless tread,
I'll dream and I'll live on
I'll dream and I'll live on....
But I don't worry now
The friends of summer be the friends of fall
Days unravel in a seamless thread
I'll dream and I'll live on
When the dream is dead
Years from now
When I'm so very gone
Know that I did my best to carry on
From the saddest sads to the funnest fun
We kept it together
What's done is done
It'll end too soon if it ends at all
But I don't worry now
The friends of summer be the friends of fall
May your days unravel in a seamless thread
I'll dream and I'll live on
When the dream is dead
I've been to the future and back and all is fine
Endless days of flawless time
You pick up a thing or two along the way
I was gone back then, still I'm gone today
I've been playing it close
Playing it kind of safe
I just stay and the goes
Whenever there's time to waste
I've been playing it close
I've been playing it kind of safe
I just stay and the goes
Whenever there's time to waste
It'll end too soon if it ends at all
I don't worry now
The friends of summer be the friends of fall
May the days unravel in a seamless tread,
I'll dream and I'll live on
I'll dream and I'll live on....

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.
