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'm just a person like you
I'm just a fuck up that's true
but your the only one I'll turn to by my side
everyday and night its time to climb out of this big black hole
even if i can justify that i'm alive and alright
you're still the only one i'll turn to by my side
everyday and night its time to climb out of this big black hole
sooo i cry alone
sooo i cry alone
i can't believe you dragged me downnn...againnn
just when i think that i'm fine
i only then just realised that i'm the only one to turn to me inside
everyday and night its time to climb out of this big black hole...
sooo i cry alone
sooo i cry alone
i can't believe you dragged me downnn...againnn
soo i cry alone
sooo i cry alone
i can't believe you dragged me downnn...for goooood
i'm just a person like you
i'm just a fuck up like you
i'm just a person like you

everyday and night its time to climb out of this big black hole

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
DAMN STRAIGHT! God damn Taproot hits home with me. I'm always thinking that I'm finally gonna get out of feeling so shitty in my life and I think things are getting better, then BAM!, she drags me right back down again, and I cry alone.
