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.
And to it all
Falling down
Who's in touch with everyone who ever stood their ground?
If you could then I know I do to
Lost inside a maze of problems with you
Is it so hard
Every time I say
Won't you come and fight with me
Because if I thought I were you
Every word I say
Would come out wrong and make you look the other way
You know, if I thought I were you,
Time and time again
And if I did we won't be friends
And tell me I'm brought down again
Never the one I'd explain
Can't you ..., don't you lie
There've been times when I've felt good because you're hurt inside
No that's not true I'm just acting tough
I don't know what it is I'm feeling
I don't know if you are enough
Is it so hard
Every time I say
Won't yo you come and fight with me
Because if I thought I were yo you
Every word I say
Would come out wrong and make yo you look the other way
Yo you know, if I thought I were yo you,
Time and time again
And if I did we won't be friends
And tell me, I'll fall down again
Never the one, I'll explain
So answer that you never know
Don't want it back it seems to go
It's so hard, so hard
'Cause I feel alive and it feels alright
Keep on telling me that its over please
And I feel the one
Lying in the sun
(Could I, should I, would i....)
It's so hot in here
It's the clothes I wear
Don't you even ask
I won't let you pass
But my guard is up
And you stole his care
(could I, should I, would i....)

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.
