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.
Aw, baby
(Yeah, Murder Inc.)
I want to love you, babe
I want to love you, babe
Oh, baby
(Ashanti, Chapter 2)
(Let's rock it)
[Chorus]
Can you rock with me (Aw, baby)
Non-stop with me
Can you take it to the top with me
I just want to love you, baby (Love ya, babe)
Always thinkin' of you, baby (Love ya, babe)
Can you roll with me (Ooh, baby)
All over me
Can you take control of me
I just want to love you, baby
Always thinkin' of you, baby
I think I like how your body feels next to me
Aw, baby, when you're kissin' me
Aw, baby, when you're lovin' me
I can't describe what I want to do to you tonight
Aw, baby, when you come to me
I'll make it so you'll never leave
[Chorus]
See, I don't know if I can handle you as just a friend
Aw, baby, I can't pretend
Aw, baby, I'm so far in
But I don't mind as long as I could have you in my
Life
Aw, baby, I'm satisfied
Even if you're not just mine
[Chorus]
Boy, you make me not the same
(Aw baby, aw baby, oh baby, oh baby)
If you feel me help me say
(Aw baby, aw baby, oh baby, oh baby)
Can you rock with me (Aw, baby)
Non-stop with me (I want to rock with you)
Can you take it to the top with me
I just want to love you, baby (Oh)
Always thinkin' of you, baby (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
[Chorus]
Can you roll with me (Oh, baby)
All over me
Can you take control of me
I just want to love you, baby (I want to love you, babe)
Always thinkin' of you, baby
Love you, babe
Love you, babe
(Yeah, Murder Inc.)
I want to love you, babe
I want to love you, babe
Oh, baby

Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

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.
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.
gud!
Thank God another person commented on this song. I love it and the video is also so good. You should watch the video on youtube. It has a good theme and the guy is so handsome. Lol. This song is about how much a girl is feeling the guy she is with. She is telling him how much she likes him and how she wants to stay with him, even if "he's not just her's." She willing to go through it all because she loves him.
