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.
Are you sure you wanna end it all, my love?
Do you really need more time to think about your life?
Do you really wanna read the same old book?
Do you really wanna dance the same old song?
Ok, go ahead girl, I can understand
When you come back i´ll be here
Sick, sad and drunk like before
For a little time I know that I will be alone
I've got no friends to make me company this time
Do you really wanna watch the same old movie
I'm not pretentious but I know that you'll come back again
You will not sleep for many nights
Your dreams will turns to nightmares
That's why you gonna search for me
That's why you gonna say â??forgive me please, i´ll never leave you againâ??
You know that I've got no choice
You know that I can't say no
And we make believe that nothing happened
You know that I got no choice
You know that I can't say â??noâ??
And we try to leave in peace
Until the next time
Do you really need more time to think about your life?
Do you really wanna read the same old book?
Do you really wanna dance the same old song?
Ok, go ahead girl, I can understand
When you come back i´ll be here
Sick, sad and drunk like before
For a little time I know that I will be alone
I've got no friends to make me company this time
Do you really wanna watch the same old movie
I'm not pretentious but I know that you'll come back again
You will not sleep for many nights
Your dreams will turns to nightmares
That's why you gonna search for me
That's why you gonna say â??forgive me please, i´ll never leave you againâ??
You know that I've got no choice
You know that I can't say no
And we make believe that nothing happened
You know that I got no choice
You know that I can't say â??noâ??
And we try to leave in peace
Until the next time

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
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.
