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.
I said, 'I wanna come over'
You said, 'Okay, just come over'
Your friends are all on the couch
Your friends said, 'Let's walk around'
I'll pretend your friends are my friends
And kinda try not to offend them
But I won't let you see anything real
Let you know, there's limits to
I stopped talking an hour ago
I stopped talking an hour ago
I stopped talking an hour ago
I stopped talking an hour ago
It's one particular point of view
This group dynamic caters to
It's a predictable point of view
I think you know when it caters to you
And if you do know, don't act like you don't
'Cause it's really annoying
And if you don't know, well, let's just say
You're a lot, lot stupider than I thought
I'll pretend your friends are my friends
But I don't wanna hear you defend them
In fact, that kind of insults me
And I kinda don't really wanna be here right
I stopped talking an hour ago
I stopped talking an hour ago
I stopped talking an hour ago
I stopped talking an hour ago, ago
Okay, your whole thing put me in
Negative space for way too fucking long
The only thing that I managed to say during that time was
'I hate danger'
What I really should have said was
'You're so not dangerous'
'You're so not what you say you are at all'
You said, 'Okay, just come over'
Your friends are all on the couch
Your friends said, 'Let's walk around'
I'll pretend your friends are my friends
And kinda try not to offend them
But I won't let you see anything real
Let you know, there's limits to
I stopped talking an hour ago
I stopped talking an hour ago
I stopped talking an hour ago
I stopped talking an hour ago
It's one particular point of view
This group dynamic caters to
It's a predictable point of view
I think you know when it caters to you
And if you do know, don't act like you don't
'Cause it's really annoying
And if you don't know, well, let's just say
You're a lot, lot stupider than I thought
I'll pretend your friends are my friends
But I don't wanna hear you defend them
In fact, that kind of insults me
And I kinda don't really wanna be here right
I stopped talking an hour ago
I stopped talking an hour ago
I stopped talking an hour ago
I stopped talking an hour ago, ago
Okay, your whole thing put me in
Negative space for way too fucking long
The only thing that I managed to say during that time was
'I hate danger'
What I really should have said was
'You're so not dangerous'
'You're so not what you say you are at all'

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
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.
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.
i guess its about a guy who ignores his gf when hes with his friends. and he acts tottaly different, and she sees his 'true colors'.
