This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Don't cry tonight, my love
You will not bleed alone
I will stand with you
I will stand with you
Don't cry tonight
I will stand with you
Been alone
Far too long
Time to return
You've been alone
For far too long
So long, return
You've been alone
For far too long
So long, return
Don't cry tonight
I will stand with you
You've been alone for far too long
So long, return
These wounds they will not last forever
You've been broken for so long
So long, return
Dead end becomes your second chance
You've been broken for so long
So long, return
You will not bleed alone
I will stand with you
I will stand with you
Don't cry tonight
I will stand with you
Been alone
Far too long
Time to return
You've been alone
For far too long
So long, return
You've been alone
For far too long
So long, return
Don't cry tonight
I will stand with you
You've been alone for far too long
So long, return
These wounds they will not last forever
You've been broken for so long
So long, return
Dead end becomes your second chance
You've been broken for so long
So long, return

Page

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'm pretty sure this is about someone who has fallen away (Title of the song) and has been injured (emotionally more probable than physically). God offers them comfort that they don't have to suffer alone, and the suffering will not last forever. Don't cry because God is with you. Take your second chance.
