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.
It's time to go again to your blue room
Got some questions to ask of you in your blue room
The air is clean, your skin is clear
We've had enough fun hanging around here
It's a different kind of conversation in your blue room
Saw me calmly, deep inside
Saw me calmly, somewhere to hide
And time is a string of pearls
Your blue room
(In a second )
See the future just hanging there
Your blue room
A new frame, a new perspective
Looking down on my objectives
New instructions, whatever their directions
Your blue room
Saw me calmly, be so proud and new
Saw me calmly, came to feel
It's alright
Your blue room
One day, I'll be back
Your blue room
Yeah, I hope I remember where it's at
Your blue room
I see inside of you
Won't you take me back home
So much for tonight
Zooming in and zooming out
Nothing I can do without
A lens to see it all up close
Magnify what everyone knows
Never in company
Never alone
No car alarms
No cellular phones
Got some questions to ask of you in your blue room
The air is clean, your skin is clear
We've had enough fun hanging around here
It's a different kind of conversation in your blue room
Saw me calmly, deep inside
Saw me calmly, somewhere to hide
And time is a string of pearls
Your blue room
(In a second )
See the future just hanging there
Your blue room
A new frame, a new perspective
Looking down on my objectives
New instructions, whatever their directions
Your blue room
Saw me calmly, be so proud and new
Saw me calmly, came to feel
It's alright
Your blue room
One day, I'll be back
Your blue room
Yeah, I hope I remember where it's at
Your blue room
I see inside of you
Won't you take me back home
So much for tonight
Zooming in and zooming out
Nothing I can do without
A lens to see it all up close
Magnify what everyone knows
Never in company
Never alone
No car alarms
No cellular phones

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.
"'There are some beauties on there. 'Your Blue Room' is one of my favourite songs, which was actually used in the Michelangelo Antonioni and Wim Wenders song 'Beyond The Clouds.' The song is based on the idea that sex is a conversation of sorts. ON one level it's purely carnal but on another it's a prayer. It's an incredible thing to say to your lover or your maker: 'Your instructions, whatever their direction.'" - Bono, U2 By U2 2006
