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.
Looking into your eyes
I see all I want to be
And I don't want it to end
If I could only put to words the way
I see you
I only know I have an angel with me now
And when I fall asleep your all that I see
You're in my thoughts and all of my prayers
I wish I could mean all that you mean to me
My angel without wings
My angel
I wish you could see all that you mean to me
But I could never find the words to tell you
And when I fall asleep your all that I see
You're in my thoughts and all of my prayers
I wish I could mean all that you mean to me
And when I fall asleep your all that I see
You're in my thoughts and all of my prayers
I wish I could mean all that you mean to me
My angel without wings
I see all I want to be
And I don't want it to end
If I could only put to words the way
I see you
I only know I have an angel with me now
And when I fall asleep your all that I see
You're in my thoughts and all of my prayers
I wish I could mean all that you mean to me
My angel without wings
My angel
I wish you could see all that you mean to me
But I could never find the words to tell you
And when I fall asleep your all that I see
You're in my thoughts and all of my prayers
I wish I could mean all that you mean to me
And when I fall asleep your all that I see
You're in my thoughts and all of my prayers
I wish I could mean all that you mean to me
My angel without wings

Amazing

Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

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.
I really dig this song. It's a love song that I can imagine one of my friends writing about their girlfriends. It's not an 'i will love you until the end of time' kind of song, yet it still hold that simple and loving sweetness. An all around awesome song.
