Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
The tears are warm
I'm washing off last night
I wish I would've slept through it
I wish I didn't know what you did
One signle though
Going over and over in my mind
I don't own you
And you don't owe me a goddamn thing
but I wish it was me
It's never been, it'll never be
You can say that it didn't mean a thing
But it means everything and it's killing me
oh, well, here's to luck
I could walk away now and forget
Your name, your face
And forget how much it hurts
But I never forget that I love you
And I would never forget I could never have you
This all means something
This means I give up
and I don't about you
And I don't give a fuck who you fuck
And when the one you left for leaves you
I won't come back
I'm washing off last night
I wish I would've slept through it
I wish I didn't know what you did
One signle though
Going over and over in my mind
I don't own you
And you don't owe me a goddamn thing
but I wish it was me
It's never been, it'll never be
You can say that it didn't mean a thing
But it means everything and it's killing me
oh, well, here's to luck
I could walk away now and forget
Your name, your face
And forget how much it hurts
But I never forget that I love you
And I would never forget I could never have you
This all means something
This means I give up
and I don't about you
And I don't give a fuck who you fuck
And when the one you left for leaves you
I won't come back

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.
This describes my afternoon, this song is great!
