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.
I keep a good luck charm tucked under my arm cause she told me to
A little soft and round
Like a penny found
She said to keep an eye on you
She said it in case i try to do something stupid
She's a little bit of life
A paragraph, a point of view, a messenger
She's reading middle sex
And i'm on Salinger
So it may come as no surprise
Why i'm the perfect guy for her
She's mine
Loves her wine
And fine dining
That's right, she's mine
She's so fine
And loves fine dining
When i'm in the shower I take about an hour and i think of her
Girl, I'm a dirty boy with the bathtime toys the fog rolls in and it's ships ahoy
I pretend i'm her Gilligan and she's Mary Ann and Ginger combined
Well my honey's so funny she's money she never means to undermind
She knows i love my job
But i love her more
So it makes no difference
Either long distance or over time
She's mine
She loves her wine
And fine dining
She's so sweet oh so petite
Oh so completely entertaining
She holds my hand
We love to dance
Oh so romancing
She is mine
We pretend our friend is a minister
He wears a cap and gown
And he pulls a crowd
And he walks us down
The aisles to where we say our vows
We say our vows, we say our vows
And pray
Considering her space and her miles from graceland
Hook me up
I need a strong soy latte make it grande
And wake me from my nightmares
Keep me safe when she's not there
Don't call me crazy
Because she's mine
She loves her wine
In fine dining
She holds my hand
And takes the chance
At sweet romance
And also disco dancing
See she's mine
She loves her wine
Fine dining
Yes, she's mine oh mine
Loves her wine sometime
Yes, she's fine so fine darling
A little soft and round
Like a penny found
She said to keep an eye on you
She said it in case i try to do something stupid
She's a little bit of life
A paragraph, a point of view, a messenger
She's reading middle sex
And i'm on Salinger
So it may come as no surprise
Why i'm the perfect guy for her
She's mine
Loves her wine
And fine dining
That's right, she's mine
She's so fine
And loves fine dining
When i'm in the shower I take about an hour and i think of her
Girl, I'm a dirty boy with the bathtime toys the fog rolls in and it's ships ahoy
I pretend i'm her Gilligan and she's Mary Ann and Ginger combined
Well my honey's so funny she's money she never means to undermind
She knows i love my job
But i love her more
So it makes no difference
Either long distance or over time
She's mine
She loves her wine
And fine dining
She's so sweet oh so petite
Oh so completely entertaining
She holds my hand
We love to dance
Oh so romancing
She is mine
We pretend our friend is a minister
He wears a cap and gown
And he pulls a crowd
And he walks us down
The aisles to where we say our vows
We say our vows, we say our vows
And pray
Considering her space and her miles from graceland
Hook me up
I need a strong soy latte make it grande
And wake me from my nightmares
Keep me safe when she's not there
Don't call me crazy
Because she's mine
She loves her wine
In fine dining
She holds my hand
And takes the chance
At sweet romance
And also disco dancing
See she's mine
She loves her wine
Fine dining
Yes, she's mine oh mine
Loves her wine sometime
Yes, she's fine so fine darling

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
Um...how could no one comment on this song? Really.
This song makes me want to die! If a guy sang this to me, about me, I would cry for hours...it is the most beautiful song and Jason's voice just makes it that much more incredible!! The cutest love song I've heard!
