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.
Tuesday's here and I'll be waking up
to another day filled with life's mistakes,
And the ones that lingered from the day before.
All the blanks I've drawn,
All the times I've shared,
All the times that I've been unprepared.
All the songs I've sang that I just can't explain.
Did you know that I once said
That I can't change the road that I was led,
And can't find better friends.
Is it worth the pain?
Is it worth the wait?
As I attempt to set my record straight,
I'll open up the drapes
And I'll appreciate the most beautiful day.
Afternoon should be coming soon,
As dim light leaves, the sun shines over me,
It feels like my shadows run away.
Evening falls on top of me,
And the minutes creep by constantly.
Then I look back and start the day again.
Am I sorry, am I lost,
Have I forgot where I’m coming from
Or have I just begun?
Different days and different ways
Always seem to end up the same,
It's too routine for me.
Did you know that I once said
That I can’t change the road that I was led.
Forever more and lived forever in a day.
to another day filled with life's mistakes,
And the ones that lingered from the day before.
All the blanks I've drawn,
All the times I've shared,
All the times that I've been unprepared.
All the songs I've sang that I just can't explain.
Did you know that I once said
That I can't change the road that I was led,
And can't find better friends.
Is it worth the pain?
Is it worth the wait?
As I attempt to set my record straight,
I'll open up the drapes
And I'll appreciate the most beautiful day.

Have I forgot where I’m coming from

Always seem to end up the same,

Did you know that I once said
That I can’t change the road that I was led.
Forever more and lived forever in a day.

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.
