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.
{Hook- Ciara& BowWow}
I ain't ever had nobody show me all the things that you done showed me
In that special way I feel when you hold me
We gon' always be together baby
Thats what you told me and
I believe it cuz I ain't never had
Nobody do me like you
[Bow Wow]
Now I done been with different kind of girls/ So I gotta seen them all
/But ain't none of them at all (like you)
And I done seen the best of the best
Baby, still I ain't impressed cuz
Ain't none of them at all (like you)
If you know how I feel when I chill
If I'm seen with a girl
Then she gotta be just (like you)
And baby thats the way I feel
And I ain't got no choice
But for me to keep it real
Cuz when we/ first got together
Starting hanging out you was/ skeptical at first
Had to figure out if
I was the kind of guy that
Would try to dog you out but
I ain't that kind of guy you try to make me out
You found out when you turned to my baby
I showed them other brothers
How to treat a lady
I let you drive when I ride that Mercedes
And I ain't trippin' or actin' shady
Cuz baby you know
{Chorus}
I ain't ever had nobody show me all the things
That you done showed me
In that special way I feel when you hold me
We gon' always be together baby
Thats what you told me and
I believe it cuz I ain't never had
Nobody do me like you
(Ciara)
And everytime I think about you I smile
When you ride, when you call, when you come around
Your love is amazing to me
I can't wait till I see you (I wanna be with you again)
And everytime your out on the road (I'll make a trip)
And whenever I'm doing a show (Don't you forget)
That I'm your main chick
Who got that game chick
One in the same chick
The one you can hang with
{Chorus}
I ain't ever had nobody show me all the things
That you done showed me
In that special way I feel when you hold me
We gon' always be together baby
Thats what you told me and
I believe it cuz I ain't never had
Nobody do me like you
[Bow Wow]
Ok we/ hit the mall, pop tags
Spend a few G's [Cheesin']
Hit the runway to a new season
It ain't nothing
Spoil the one I care for
Feel like I ain't doin' enough
That's when I share more
I give you this, give you that
What chu need love
You know I got it
Holla at me if you need love
And affection cuz I'll be your protection
Kind of hard job but I'll do till perfection
And you can tell that I ain't tryin' to let you go
I get with you when I can
So thats how I let you know
And you be trippin' cuz sometimes I gotta go
But chu the first one
I holla to right after my show
Hey now I was trippin' in a sense
I was tense but my body's loose around you
But I'ma do without you
I gotta get it together, say whateva
Cuz since I met you my life seems so better
{Chorus}
I ain't ever had nobody show me all the things
That you done showed me
In a special way I feel when you hold me
We gon' always be together baby
That is what you told and
I believe it cuz I ain't never had
Nobody do me like you{2X}
I ain't ever had nobody show me all the things that you done showed me
In that special way I feel when you hold me
We gon' always be together baby
Thats what you told me and
I believe it cuz I ain't never had
Nobody do me like you

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”
I Can't Go To Sleep

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

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.
