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.
How I am, the way I am when I can see your face, I see your face
And how I feel, the way I feel when you are far away, far away
And you know that I'm thinking 'bout you
You know that I'm taken by you
Say it again, I'll say that I love you
Say it again, I'll say that I need you
I'll say it again, say it again, say it again
I will love, I will love you till my dying day, my dying day
You say our love's, say our love's the kind that goes past time and space, all time and space
And you know that I'm taken by you
You know that I'm thinking of you
Say it again, I'll say that I love you
Say it again, I'll say that I need you
I'll say it again, say it again, say it again
And how I feel, the way I feel when you are far away, far away
And you know that I'm thinking 'bout you
You know that I'm taken by you
Say it again, I'll say that I love you
Say it again, I'll say that I need you
I'll say it again, say it again, say it again
I will love, I will love you till my dying day, my dying day
You say our love's, say our love's the kind that goes past time and space, all time and space
And you know that I'm taken by you
You know that I'm thinking of you
Say it again, I'll say that I love you
Say it again, I'll say that I need you
I'll say it again, say it again, say it again

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”
Magical

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.

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.
"Of all the songs I've written, this song came together the quickest. When I first sat down with our producer, Siegy, we talked a lot about what we wanted the album to sound like and set a time for him to come to a band practice and pick his favourite songs. On the day of the practice, I was playing around with a hook (that would later become the chorus) and talked Matthew into playing Dave's drums for me. In a couple minutes we worked out the feel and we finished the song in less than an hour. When the band came over, we worked out the arrangement and played it for Siegy. It's funny, because even though it was written so quickly, it turned out to be one of our favorites. I don't remember where the idea came from, but I do remember thinking how important it was to actually tell the people around you that you appreciate them. We can be so lazy. How often do we say "please" and "thank you"? How often do we compliment our friends and coworkers when they do something well? Or, how often do we tell our closest friends and family that we love them? I don't know and everyone's different, but it's easy to forget. Maybe it's because we've felt unappreciated at various times, or maybe we don't feel comfortable going out of our way to say something nice. For whatever reason, I don't think it's good, and while I'm definitely not saying to go overboard and compliment everyone all of the time, I would say that it's good to take moments, every once in a while, and really make someone's day." - Nathan Piché (Article One
