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.
Don't look around 'cause love is blind
And darling right now, I can't see you
I'm feeling proud so without a doubt
I can feel you
'Cause we are who we are
When no one's watching
And right from the start
You know I got you
Yeah, you know I got you...
(Yeah, you know I got you) [echo 5x]
I won't mind,
Even though I know you
You'll never be mine
I won't mind
Even though I know
You'll never be mine
(Never be mine)
(Never be mine)
We messed around until we found
The one thing we said we could never ever
Live without, I'm not allowed to talk about it
But I gotta tell you
'Cause we are who we are
When no one's watching
And right from the start
You know I got you
Yeah, you know I got you...
(Yeah, you know I got you) [echo 5x]
I won't mind
Even though I know you
You'll never be mine
I won't mind
Even though I know
You'll never be mine
(Never be mine)
(Never be mine)
And darling right now, I can't see you
I'm feeling proud so without a doubt
I can feel you
'Cause we are who we are
When no one's watching
And right from the start
You know I got you
Yeah, you know I got you...
(Yeah, you know I got you) [echo 5x]
I won't mind,
Even though I know you
You'll never be mine
I won't mind
Even though I know
You'll never be mine
(Never be mine)
(Never be mine)
We messed around until we found
The one thing we said we could never ever
Live without, I'm not allowed to talk about it
But I gotta tell you
'Cause we are who we are
When no one's watching
And right from the start
You know I got you
Yeah, you know I got you...
(Yeah, you know I got you) [echo 5x]
I won't mind
Even though I know you
You'll never be mine
I won't mind
Even though I know
You'll never be mine
(Never be mine)
(Never be mine)

“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Page
Ed Sheeran
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.
