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.
(Paul McCartney)
There once was a time when I thought if I had a house, I'd be happy
There once was a time when I thought if I had a car, I'd be made
One by one I achieved my ambitions
But didn't feel like I wanted to feel
Didn't feel like I wanted it to feel
I didn't feel like I wanted to feel
I needed a comfort of love
Any place and anytime
I needed a comfort of love
Just to get me some piece of mind, wo-oh
I long for the time when the world is a better place, to be happy
I long for the day when the people who went to sleep, will awake
One by one I improved my conditions
But it doesn't feel like I wanted to feel
Doesn't feel like I wanted it to feel
Doesn't feel like I wanted to feel
I needed the comfort of love
Any place and anytime
I need the comfort of love
To just to get me some piece of mind, wo-oh
I needed a comfort of love
Any place and anytime
I needed a comfort of love
To just to get me some piece of mind
Well, I needed the comfort
I needed the comfort
I needed the comfort of love
I needed the comfort
I needed the comforte
There once was a time when I thought if I had a house, I'd be happy
There once was a time when I thought if I had a car, I'd be made
One by one I achieved my ambitions
But didn't feel like I wanted to feel
Didn't feel like I wanted it to feel
I didn't feel like I wanted to feel
I needed a comfort of love
Any place and anytime
I needed a comfort of love
Just to get me some piece of mind, wo-oh
I long for the time when the world is a better place, to be happy
I long for the day when the people who went to sleep, will awake
One by one I improved my conditions
But it doesn't feel like I wanted to feel
Doesn't feel like I wanted it to feel
Doesn't feel like I wanted to feel
I needed the comfort of love
Any place and anytime
I need the comfort of love
To just to get me some piece of mind, wo-oh
I needed a comfort of love
Any place and anytime
I needed a comfort of love
To just to get me some piece of mind
Well, I needed the comfort
I needed the comfort
I needed the comfort of love
I needed the comfort
I needed the comforte

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.

Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
