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”
Well there's something that I really
Need to say
Have you ever wondered why the
Truth is hard to say
Why must it be this way
A broken deal
And now it's time to pay
Trying hard to understand
What happened yesterday
But it's the game we play
I see the red light signal
Calling me home the red lights are
See the red light and they're
Calling me home
The powers above us
Show that you love us
Don't take me away
In the end it's just another day
And there's no explanation
Or a plan that you can make
And you can't hide away
Well you can try and plan
Tomorrow's news today
But everything that you want
Is not gonna go your way
The end isn't far away
Need to say
Have you ever wondered why the
Truth is hard to say
Why must it be this way
A broken deal
And now it's time to pay
Trying hard to understand
What happened yesterday
But it's the game we play
I see the red light signal
Calling me home the red lights are
See the red light and they're
Calling me home
The powers above us
Show that you love us
Don't take me away
In the end it's just another day
And there's no explanation
Or a plan that you can make
And you can't hide away
Well you can try and plan
Tomorrow's news today
But everything that you want
Is not gonna go your way
The end isn't far away

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

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.
dammit, no comments, this song rocks. yes, anyway. i think its about how you can't plan things that are going to happen and you can't change the past so you just have to live day by day and take things as they come and take responsibility for what you do... or not..i dunno
