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.
Wow and I say Wow
I want things and I want them now
Always broke I can't see how
I can stop this poorness ball
No fun at all
Give me money give me gold
It brings me happiness I'm told
I need experience in being rich and need it now
I need everything
I say wow..wow..wow and I say wow
Give me everything
I say wow..wow..wow and I say wow
Give me everything
Lots of money in the stock exchange
All of it outside my range
This fact really pisses me off
I could use a lot of stuff
I want things and I want them now
Always broke I can't see how
I can stop this poorness ball
No fun at all
Give me money give me gold
It brings me happiness I'm told
I need experience in being rich and need it now
I need everything
I say wow..wow..wow and I say wow
Give me everything
I say wow..wow..wow and I say wow
Give me everything
Lots of money in the stock exchange
All of it outside my range
This fact really pisses me off
I could use a lot of stuff

Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“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.
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.
think it's sad that they've split up. =( no fun at all. <3 and this song is great, one of their best songs.
