She finds herself alone brought down by every promise he didn?t keep
and all the shit that she put up with
Two black circles underneath her eyes, she cried herself to sleep
and spends her days waiting for an apology
Its never coming. It'd just be empty anyway.
She says that every lie is like a glass shard tearing at her heart
The pain won?t stop until it eats her away

She says "Obsession is such an ugly word"
She says "Depression's another thing I'll learn to deal with"
Desperation always felt like giving up to me
It's not so easy to forget everything you've learned.

She finds herself lost and making all the same mistakes she made before
All that shit just made her this way
She says she hates her life, she hates the world, she can't go on no more
She's lying to herself but lies don't cover up the scars
And I'm not sorry because she just brought this on herself.
She says she finally let down her guard, she found some one to trust
Now she's living in hell

She says "Deception is such a common word"
She says "Affection's another way to hide your problems"
Desperation always felt an escape to me
It's not so easy to forget everything you've learned

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
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.

Plastic Bag
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.
