Yeah
Everybody wants to live
How they wanna live and
Everybody wants to love
How they wanna love and
Everybody wants to be
Closer to free

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Everybody wants respect
Just a little bit
And everybody needs a chance once in a while
Everybody wants to be
Closer to free

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Everybody one, everybody two, everybody free

Everybody needs to touch
Ya know, now and then and
Everybody wants a good
Good friend
Everybody wants to be
Closer to free

(Alright)

I said everybody one, everybody two, everybody free

Everybody wants to live
Like they wanna live
And everybody wants to love
Like they wanna love
Everybody wants to be
Closer to free

Yeah, closer to free
Yeah, closer to free
Closer to free
And yeah, and yeah, yeah

    I don't think you can copyright song titles. Least, I read that somewhere. Look at how many songs there are called "Photograph." And there's at least two songs called "Love Me Do"

    Anyway. Pretty simple, but very nice to hear. Just about being able to live your life how you want to.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
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.

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”

Page
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.
