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.
And you feel the spiral turning for you alone
And you feel so heavy that you just can't stop it
When you see your madness turns you into stone
A picture of your life she's like a rocket
All the time
Could be if you're crazy it's all right
I see you moving in and out of sight
My friends tell you it'll all come through, yes
From nowhere
To nowhere
Come together
Come through
Have I lived now with a mote inside my eye
And I can't see you breathing as before
I am airless, a vacuum child
And I can't stand to reason at your door
In this time
Could be if you're crazy it's all right
I've seen you moving in and out of sight
My friends tell me it'll all come through, yes
From nowhere
To nowhere
Come together
I'm down in the daytime out of sight
Coming in from dreamland I'm on fire
I can see it's all been here before
Dream a dream that lies right at your door
When the seasons circle sideways without a turn
And words don't speak just fall across the carpet
You're just in time to watch the fire burn
It seems a crime that you face it like you love it
All the time
And you feel so heavy that you just can't stop it
When you see your madness turns you into stone
A picture of your life she's like a rocket
All the time
Could be if you're crazy it's all right
I see you moving in and out of sight
My friends tell you it'll all come through, yes
From nowhere
To nowhere
Come together
Come through
Have I lived now with a mote inside my eye
And I can't see you breathing as before
I am airless, a vacuum child
And I can't stand to reason at your door
In this time
Could be if you're crazy it's all right
I've seen you moving in and out of sight
My friends tell me it'll all come through, yes
From nowhere
To nowhere
Come together
I'm down in the daytime out of sight
Coming in from dreamland I'm on fire
I can see it's all been here before
Dream a dream that lies right at your door
When the seasons circle sideways without a turn
And words don't speak just fall across the carpet
You're just in time to watch the fire burn
It seems a crime that you face it like you love it
All the time

Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
Page
Ed Sheeran
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.
i havnt heard the origional but i love the chorus, i always wanna move to it "could be it you're crazy its alright, i've seen you moving in and out of sight"
