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.
Oh
There goes my Valentine again
I'm soaked in red for what she said
And now she's gone
Oh my God, have I done it again?
There's a pulse that is deafening
I can't help what I hear in my head,
It's the switch that I flip (when you said)
Hand of blood
I don't want to feel, my heart is breaking
Hand of blood
I don't want to see, my life is burning
I saw you look away
Is what you've seen too much to take
Or are you blind and seeing nothing
(I saw you run)
I saw you run away
Is what I've done too much to take
Or are you scared of being nothing
There's a stain on my hand and it's red
Oh my God, am I losing it?
I can't help what I've done or I've said
It's a button I push (when you say)
Hand of blood
I don't want to feel, my heart is breaking
Hand of blood
I don't want to see, my life is burning
I saw you look away
Is what you've seen too much to take
Or are you blind and seeing nothing
(I saw you run)
I saw you run away
Is what I've done too much to take
Or are you scared of being nothing?
I saw you look away
Is what you've seen too much to take
Or are you blind and seeing nothing
(I saw you run)
I saw you run away
Is what I've done too much to take
Or are you scared of being nothing?
There goes my Valentine again
I'm soaked in red for what she said
And now she's gone
Oh my God, have I done it again?
There's a pulse that is deafening
I can't help what I hear in my head,
It's the switch that I flip (when you said)
Hand of blood
I don't want to feel, my heart is breaking
Hand of blood
I don't want to see, my life is burning
I saw you look away
Is what you've seen too much to take
Or are you blind and seeing nothing
(I saw you run)
I saw you run away
Is what I've done too much to take
Or are you scared of being nothing
There's a stain on my hand and it's red
Oh my God, am I losing it?
I can't help what I've done or I've said
It's a button I push (when you say)
Hand of blood
I don't want to feel, my heart is breaking
Hand of blood
I don't want to see, my life is burning
I saw you look away
Is what you've seen too much to take
Or are you blind and seeing nothing
(I saw you run)
I saw you run away
Is what I've done too much to take
Or are you scared of being nothing?
I saw you look away
Is what you've seen too much to take
Or are you blind and seeing nothing
(I saw you run)
I saw you run away
Is what I've done too much to take
Or are you scared of being nothing?

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.
Page

Ed Sheeran
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.
Love this song. tis well good played full blast.
