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.
1st verse
Lock my door
Close my blinds
I want to be myself
What's that thing
You put in your nose?
Can I have some?
I see you do this everyday
I hope you don't
Blow yourself away
Are you feeling real good?
Prechorus
Wired (wired)
Wired (wired)
2nd verse
Oh the room is getting dark
Oh I hope my heart don't stop
Do you really give a damn?
Do you even understand?
(understand me)
3rd verse
Hour glass is taining thin
Where have you been?
Do you know it makes you
Feel real good
Chorus
Wired (wired) (Repeat three times)
Lock my door
Close my blinds
I want to be by myself
(by myself)
Are you wired my child?
You live your life too would
Seeing things you never knew.
One day it'll get you
Are you?
What's that thing
You put in your nose?
Are you gonna do it
By yourself ?
I feel like I'm closing in
I hope my life
Will never end
You know I feel like
(wired)
Wired (repeat seven times)

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.
Btw... a lot of the lyrics here are wrong. Shame the booklet didn't come with lyrics...
