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.
Relaxed and stand in the Warmth of the Sand
The day is long and here for us to take for granted
We find ourselves to our knees the water clear the tender breeze upon our faces as we bask in our good graces
Yeah we all are golden here
In Summer , In Summer
Where night belongs to lust and lovers
In Summer , In Summer
And I am here to win you over
You will be mine this year
The sun is the set and the moon is high the night is long and here for you and I to capture
We Float ourselves to the coast with icy drinks that boast our wills
And we are braver for the moment
Yeah we all are golden here
In Summer , In Summer
Where all the girls bear olive shoulders
In Summer , In Summer
And I am here to win you over
You will be mine this year
The courtyard wear the garden stands beyond the beach the crystal sands
We shed our clothes and felt romantic
Tempted by the moon fantastic
Bright and Warm and ours alone
Absolve of us the sins we own
And from one year to another
I think of you when I feel summer
In Summer , In Summer
Where all the girls bear olive shoulders
In Summer , In Summer
When all you hope for is another
In Summer , In Summer
Where night belongs to lust and lovers
In Summer , In Summer
And I am here to win you over
You will be mine this year
The day is long and here for us to take for granted
We find ourselves to our knees the water clear the tender breeze upon our faces as we bask in our good graces
Yeah we all are golden here
In Summer , In Summer
Where night belongs to lust and lovers
In Summer , In Summer
And I am here to win you over
You will be mine this year
The sun is the set and the moon is high the night is long and here for you and I to capture
We Float ourselves to the coast with icy drinks that boast our wills
And we are braver for the moment
Yeah we all are golden here
In Summer , In Summer
Where all the girls bear olive shoulders
In Summer , In Summer
And I am here to win you over
You will be mine this year
The courtyard wear the garden stands beyond the beach the crystal sands
We shed our clothes and felt romantic
Tempted by the moon fantastic
Bright and Warm and ours alone
Absolve of us the sins we own
And from one year to another
I think of you when I feel summer
In Summer , In Summer
Where all the girls bear olive shoulders
In Summer , In Summer
When all you hope for is another
In Summer , In Summer
Where night belongs to lust and lovers
In Summer , In Summer
And I am here to win you over
You will be mine this year

The Night We Met

This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

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”

Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

Did anyone else feel like bummed because DC is all popular now?
a little bit but if he didn't get popular I probably wouldn't have listened to their better music and I wouldn't have gone to their concert in orlando and i wouldn't listen to more music similar to theirs with lyrical presence
