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.
Oh-ohh
Sha, la, la, la, la, la, la, l-la, la, la, la, l-la, la, laa
Sha, la, la, la, la, la, la, l-la, la, la, la, l-la, la, laa
Every Friday
My head's spinning round and round
Been working all week now baby
Yes, it's my day
I take a trip downtown
To my favourite club now, baby
That's when I see you
With loving arms to fall into
But I'm not lookin' for full-time love
There's still so much I wanna do
I only kiss, kiss, kiss when the sun don't shine
Oh-woah, oh-woah
You wanna kiss, kiss, kiss then tonight is fine
Oh-woah, oh-woah
Can live without it
I don't want a full-time love
'cause it's not on my mind now, baby
You know my freedom
Is what I'm thinking of
And I ain't got the time now, baby
Straight out of the blue
You came and asked me to
Be your date in the daytime babe
But I am sorry, no can do
I only kiss, kiss, kiss when the sun don't shine
Oh-woah, oh-woah
You wanna kiss, kiss, kiss then tonight is fine
Oh-woah, oh-woah
I only kiss, kiss, kiss when the sun don't shine
Oh-woah, oh-woah
You wanna kiss, kiss, kiss then tonight is fine
Oh-woah, oh-woah
Kiss me when the sun don't shine
Kiss me when the sun don't shine, oh-woah
(make some noise for the vengaboys)
Oh-woah
Sha, la, la, la, la, la, la, l-la, la, la, la, l-la, la, laa
Sha, la, la, la, la, la, la, l-la, la, la, la, l-la, la, laa
I only kiss, kiss, kiss when the sun don't shine
Oh-woah, oh-woah
You wanna kiss, kiss, kiss then tonight is fine
Oh-woah, oh-woah..
Sha, la, la, la, la, la, la, l-la, la, la, la, l-la, la, laa
Sha, la, la, la, la, la, la, l-la, la, la, la, l-la, la, laa

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

“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.
I love this song, and everything about it! Can't believe no one has commented on here yet. People need to hear it, 'cause it's GREAT! Period.
