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.
The barrel shot lead into me,
Now all can taste is the bullet.
A shot hole in my vanity,
And I can’t find a place to put it.
Well you look like my type so get in line,
Take a number and I’ll give you a time.
Say you want me, say you’d kill to have me there.
Cos since you shot me I’ve been dying in this bed.
Say you want me, say you’d kill to have me there.
Cos since you shot me I’ve been dying in this bed.
Say you want me.
I wish I could take your face
And stich it onto all their faces.
Relationships that take your place
End up being all I hated.
Well you look like my type so get in line,
Take a number and I’ll give you a time.
Say you want me, say you’d kill to have me there.
Cos since you shot me I’ve been dying in this bed.
Say you want me, say you’d kill to have me there.
Cos since you shot me I’ve been dying in this bed.
Say you want me.
This Bed
Say you want me (Im what you want) Say you want me.
The barrel shot lead into me,
Now all can taste is the bullet.
Say you want me, say you’d kill to have me there.
Cos since you shot me I’ve been dying in this bed.
Say you want me, say you’d kill to have me there.
Cos since you shot me I’ve been dying in this bed.
Say you want me.
Now all can taste is the bullet.
A shot hole in my vanity,
And I can’t find a place to put it.
Well you look like my type so get in line,
Take a number and I’ll give you a time.
Say you want me, say you’d kill to have me there.
Cos since you shot me I’ve been dying in this bed.
Say you want me, say you’d kill to have me there.
Cos since you shot me I’ve been dying in this bed.
Say you want me.
I wish I could take your face
And stich it onto all their faces.
Relationships that take your place
End up being all I hated.
Well you look like my type so get in line,
Take a number and I’ll give you a time.
Say you want me, say you’d kill to have me there.
Cos since you shot me I’ve been dying in this bed.
Say you want me, say you’d kill to have me there.
Cos since you shot me I’ve been dying in this bed.
Say you want me.
This Bed
Say you want me (Im what you want) Say you want me.
The barrel shot lead into me,
Now all can taste is the bullet.
Say you want me, say you’d kill to have me there.
Cos since you shot me I’ve been dying in this bed.
Say you want me, say you’d kill to have me there.
Cos since you shot me I’ve been dying in this bed.
Say you want me.

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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

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 cant belive that no one has commented on this song... i love it.. it's set as my ring tone.. n i listen 2 it all the time...
well. i love this song =) and i thinkkkk its about like, this girl was like "ew no i dont like you anymore, you dork" blah blah, cut him deep. then later she kinda wants him back, and he's like "well, you cut me deep, so if you want me back your gonna have to REALLY want me back." (ie "say you want me.")
