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.
All alone, lost in this abyss
Crawling in the dark
Nothing to wet my longing lips
And I wonder where you are
Are you far, will you come to my rescue
Am I left to die but I can't give up on you
I feel you keeping me alive
You are my salvation
Touch you, taste you, feel you here
I feel you keeping me alive
You are my salvation
Hold me, heal me, keep me near
My heart will burn for you
It's all I can do
Salvation
Salvation (keeping me alive)
Salvation (you're keeping me)
Salvation (you're keeping me alive)
Been out from under who I am
And who I want to be
Held you tightly in my hands
Why are we unraveling
Was it me, will you come to my rescue
Or did I push to far when I turned my back on you
I feel you keeping me alive
You are my salvation
Touch you, taste you, feel you here
I feel you keeping me alive
You are my salvation
Hold me, heal me, keep me near
My heart will burn for you
It's all I can do
Salvation
Salvation (keeping me alive)
Salvation
Touch you, taste you, feel you, need you
Give it all just to find you
Hold me, heal me
I will find you
Keeping me alive
You are my salvation
Touch you, taste you, feel you here
Our love will never die
You are my salvation
Hold me, heal me, keep me near
My heart will burn for you
It's all I can do
Salvation
Salvation
Touch you, taste you, need you
Salvation
Crawling in the dark
Nothing to wet my longing lips
And I wonder where you are
Are you far, will you come to my rescue
Am I left to die but I can't give up on you
I feel you keeping me alive
You are my salvation
Touch you, taste you, feel you here
I feel you keeping me alive
You are my salvation
Hold me, heal me, keep me near
My heart will burn for you
It's all I can do
Salvation
Salvation (keeping me alive)
Salvation (you're keeping me)
Salvation (you're keeping me alive)
Been out from under who I am
And who I want to be
Held you tightly in my hands
Why are we unraveling
Was it me, will you come to my rescue
Or did I push to far when I turned my back on you
I feel you keeping me alive
You are my salvation
Touch you, taste you, feel you here
I feel you keeping me alive
You are my salvation
Hold me, heal me, keep me near
My heart will burn for you
It's all I can do
Salvation
Salvation (keeping me alive)
Salvation
Touch you, taste you, feel you, need you
Give it all just to find you
Hold me, heal me
I will find you
Keeping me alive
You are my salvation
Touch you, taste you, feel you here
Our love will never die
You are my salvation
Hold me, heal me, keep me near
My heart will burn for you
It's all I can do
Salvation
Salvation
Touch you, taste you, need you
Salvation

Magical

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.
Page

Ed Sheeran
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.
This song meaning can be taken two ways. I think its obvious but basically this song can be about a girl who keeps a guy alive because hes in love with her. The other meaning is about God. The lyrics can be about God as well, which I prefer to look at it that way.
But in general I hope this song helps out many through tough times.
