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, yeah
You've been alone
You've been afraid
I've been a fool
In so many ways
But I would change my life
If you thought you might try to love me
So please give me another chance
To write you another song
Take back those things I've done
'Cause I'll give you my heart
If you would let me start all over again
I'm not a saint
I'm just a man
Who had heaven and earth in the palm of his hand
But I threw it away
So now I stand here today asking forgiveness
And if you could just
Please, give me another chance
To write you another song
Take back those things I've done
'Cause I'll give you my heart
If you would let me start all over again
Ooh
Little girl, you're all I've got
Don't you leave me standing here once again
'Cause I'll give you my life (yes I would)
If you would let me try to love you
So please give me another chance
To write you another song
And take back those things I've done
'Cause I'll give you my heart
If you would let me start all over again
Again, oh
No no
Oh oh
You know I love you (yeah)
Give me one more chance
No no
No no no no
You've been alone
You've been afraid
I've been a fool
In so many ways
But I would change my life
If you thought you might try to love me
So please give me another chance
To write you another song
Take back those things I've done
'Cause I'll give you my heart
If you would let me start all over again
I'm not a saint
I'm just a man
Who had heaven and earth in the palm of his hand
But I threw it away
So now I stand here today asking forgiveness
And if you could just
Please, give me another chance
To write you another song
Take back those things I've done
'Cause I'll give you my heart
If you would let me start all over again
Ooh
Little girl, you're all I've got
Don't you leave me standing here once again
'Cause I'll give you my life (yes I would)
If you would let me try to love you
So please give me another chance
To write you another song
And take back those things I've done
'Cause I'll give you my heart
If you would let me start all over again
Again, oh
No no
Oh oh
You know I love you (yeah)
Give me one more chance
No no
No no no no

Page

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.
Either way, its an amazing song. Written and sang beautifully. Justin is a phenomena and his talents are unlimited. Great to hear him still putting out hit after hit after his *NSYNC days.
