This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
I've been down wandering past Second Street
And looking at the ghosts of you and me
And thinking back on all those memories
Of how we used to be
I've been hearing, I hear those voices
Over the noises of the breaking glass
And all those plans we had to get us through
They're never coming true
And I hope to hope that you won't forget
And I'm hoping, hope you know that
I can clearly see the ghosts of you and me
And I'm just a moved on memory
And you're still alive
And I'm still getting by
On these dead end streets
The ghosts of you and me
I'm still talking, I talk of what we?ll do
To the ghosts of me and you
And I'm still looking back into past
When we were all we had
And I hope to hope that you won't forget
And I'm hoping, hope you know that
I can clearly see, the ghosts of you and me
And I'm just a moved on memory
And you're still alive
And I'm still getting by
On these dead end streets
The ghosts of you and me
The ghosts of you and me
The ghosts of you and me
Hope you won't forget
Hope you know that I?ll always regret
Those things I've said
Hope you know that I can clearly see
The ghosts of you and me
'Cause I'm just a moved on memory
And you're still alive
And I'm still getting by
On these dead end streets
The ghosts of you and me
The ghosts of you and me
The ghosts of you and me
The ghosts of you and me
And looking at the ghosts of you and me
And thinking back on all those memories
Of how we used to be
I've been hearing, I hear those voices
Over the noises of the breaking glass
And all those plans we had to get us through
They're never coming true
And I hope to hope that you won't forget
And I'm hoping, hope you know that
I can clearly see the ghosts of you and me
And I'm just a moved on memory
And you're still alive
And I'm still getting by
On these dead end streets
The ghosts of you and me
I'm still talking, I talk of what we?ll do
To the ghosts of me and you
And I'm still looking back into past
When we were all we had
And I hope to hope that you won't forget
And I'm hoping, hope you know that
I can clearly see, the ghosts of you and me
And I'm just a moved on memory
And you're still alive
And I'm still getting by
On these dead end streets
The ghosts of you and me
The ghosts of you and me
The ghosts of you and me
Hope you won't forget
Hope you know that I?ll always regret
Those things I've said
Hope you know that I can clearly see
The ghosts of you and me
'Cause I'm just a moved on memory
And you're still alive
And I'm still getting by
On these dead end streets
The ghosts of you and me
The ghosts of you and me
The ghosts of you and me
The ghosts of you and me

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 love this song. It reminds me very much of when I broke up with me boyfriend and everything I did reminded me of the way things were when we were still together. That's basically what the song is about, looking back and not being able to forget about memories of a lost love. p.s - I can't believe no one commented on this song yet!
