No sun will shine in my day today (no sun will shine)
The high yellow moon won't come out to play
(Dancing yellow moon won't come out to play)
(I said) darkness (darkness) has covered my light
(And has changed) and has changed my day into night, whoa
Where is this love to be found?
Won't someone tell me, please? Oh life (sweet life)
Must be somewhere (has got to be)
To be found (out there somewhere for me)
Instead of concrete jungle (jungle, jungle)
Where the living is hardest (concrete jungle)
Oh Lord, have mercy
Concrete jungle, jungle, jungle
Oh, yeah
Man, you got to do your best, whoa, now

No chains around my feet
But I'm not free, whoa
I know I am bound here in captivity, oh, yeah
Yeah (never know what happiness is)
I would say
(Never know what sweet caress is) oh, sweet caress is
I'm always laughing like a clown
But, oh, won't someone help me 'cause I
(Sweet life, has got to be) I've got to pick myself
From off the ground, yeah, yeah (out there somewhere for me)
Instead concrete jungle (jungle, jungle, jungle)
I said, truth would not prove my innocency (concrete jungle)
Oh, concrete jungle (concrete jungle, jungle, jungle)
I said, the jury's found me guilty, yeah (concrete jungle)
Whoa, now

I said, no sun will shine in my day today, ohh (no sun will shine)
High yellow moon won't come out to play
(Dancing yellow moon won't come out to play)
(I said) darkness (darkness) has covered my light
And has changed my day into night
I said, where is this love to be found? Ohh
I said, life (sweet life)
Must be somewhere (has got to be)
To be found (out there somewhere for me)
Instead of concrete jungle (jungle, jungle)
Illusion, illusion (concrete jungle)
Whoa now, concrete jungle (jungle, jungle)
Or your burning asphalt burned my feet (concrete jungle)
Whoa now, I said
Concrete jungle (jungle, jungle)
I smell your cooking shops
Oh, they smell of cooking meats, oh Lord (concrete jungle)
Concrete jungle

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.

Punchline
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.

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.
