Living with these shadows
Separating what I've done
And chasing the illusions
Of who I once was
Too much time, too many places
Different lives and different faces
Stripping down and bracing for a change

A better life, I'm searching for
A better life, I'm searching for

Someday I'll begin to live my life
I pray I'm okay for now
At least I'm breathing, I'm dying
I'm reaching through myself
For another way
I can win and live my life again
Someday

Looking for a sign as desperation sets within
Boredom starts to blend into another sin
All this time, all this weather
Drink my wine, I'm no better
Everything around me stays the same

A better life, I'm searching for

Someday I'll begin to live my life
I pray I'm okay for now
At least I'm breathing, I'm dying
I'm reaching through myself
For another way
I can win and live my life again
Someday

Searching for a life, I need to know
I'm searching for a part of me to follow
Too many people with their hands on me
None of which I really give a shit about anyway

Shedding all my skin to start again and again
Shedding all my skin to start again and again
Shedding all my skin to start again and again
Shedding all my skin to start again and again

Someday I'll begin to live my life
I pray I'm okay for now
At least I'm breathing, I'm dying
I'm reaching through myself
For another way
I can win and live my life again
Someday

Someday

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
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.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

Plastic Bag
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.
