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.
Hey little girl, with the cash to burn
Well, I'm selling something you won't return
Hey little girl, take me off the shelf
'Cause it's hard having fun playing with yourself
Once you browse through the whole selection
Shake those hips in my direction
Bring it back if she never did see
Take me home and then unwrap me
Shop around but 'lil darling, I've got to be
The ladies' choice (ladies' choice) the ladies' choice, woo
Hey little girl looking for a sale
Hey little girl looking for a sale
And test drive this American male
Test drive this American male
It's gonna take cash to fill my tank
Gonna take cash to fill my tank
So let's crack open your piggy bank
Let's crack open your piggy bank
Hey little girl, you're window shopping
I got somethings traffic stopping
Hey little girl on a spending spree
I don't come cheap but the kisses come free
Closer inspection, I'm sure that you'll agree
I'm the ladies' choice, ladies' choice, ladies' choice, woo
(Hey, I'm down here, yeah, come on baby)
Ah, ah, ah
Wow, hey little girl on a spending spree
I don't come cheap but the kisses come free
On closer inspection, I'm sure that you'll agree
Oh, hey little girl, listen to my plea
I come with a lifetime guarantee
One day maybe you will find the baby makes three
It's the ladies' choice, I'm the ladies' choice
The ladies' choice, I'm the ladies' choice
Choice, choice, I'm the ladies' choice
Well, I'm selling something you won't return
Hey little girl, take me off the shelf
'Cause it's hard having fun playing with yourself
Once you browse through the whole selection
Shake those hips in my direction
Bring it back if she never did see
Take me home and then unwrap me
Shop around but 'lil darling, I've got to be
The ladies' choice (ladies' choice) the ladies' choice, woo
Hey little girl looking for a sale
Hey little girl looking for a sale
And test drive this American male
Test drive this American male
It's gonna take cash to fill my tank
Gonna take cash to fill my tank
So let's crack open your piggy bank
Let's crack open your piggy bank
Hey little girl, you're window shopping
I got somethings traffic stopping
Hey little girl on a spending spree
I don't come cheap but the kisses come free
Closer inspection, I'm sure that you'll agree
I'm the ladies' choice, ladies' choice, ladies' choice, woo
(Hey, I'm down here, yeah, come on baby)
Ah, ah, ah
Wow, hey little girl on a spending spree
I don't come cheap but the kisses come free
On closer inspection, I'm sure that you'll agree
Oh, hey little girl, listen to my plea
I come with a lifetime guarantee
One day maybe you will find the baby makes three
It's the ladies' choice, I'm the ladies' choice
The ladies' choice, I'm the ladies' choice
Choice, choice, I'm the ladies' choice

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”

Blue
Ed Sheeran
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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
i love this song.
he wants to have sex with her. simple.
hey colleenarruda theres no need to call people names especially if they don't exist. (supid?) i didn't put an explanation to what the song was about because i thought the meaning was quite obvious and i just wanted to comment on how much i liked it instead. sorry if i ruined you're day? as if you're meaning is soo detailed anyway
this song is freaking amazing
it doesnt mean he wants to have sex. it means if she wants him she has to spend a LOT money on him.
the meaning of this song is reallly simple. he used to play with himself and he just isnt getting as much enjoyment as he was so now he needs a girl to help him do it. he wants to sex tracy, plain and simple.
he wants to bang her and she has money :D
gosh you guys are idiots! dont you get it? if he sang about sex he would get in trouble. hes supposed to be the nicest kid in town remember!
If he sang about sex in an obvious way he would get in trouble. He never actually says he wants to have sex with her...he just implies it... But if you look at it a little closer it almost sounds like he's a gigolo. Lolz.
Ummm....
It's about him being what women want. And he doesn't come cheap, but is totally open for more. He's all "hey baby, keep me!" too.
It's definitely a euphemism for having sex. I don't think it's about any one woman per se. Reminds me of a gigilo.
The movie takes place in a time where you couldn't sing explicit lyrics, particularly on TV, so hence the euphemisms.
This is my explanation of the lyrics<br /> <br /> Hey little girl take me off the shelf <br /> 'Cause it's hard having fun playing with yourself- <br /> <br /> "Come fuck me. I'm sick of jacking off"<br /> <br /> Once you browse through the whole selection <br /> Shake those hips in my direction <br /> "Once you've seen the rest of the guys, you'll realise I'm the best"<br /> <br /> The prettiest package she never did see <br /> Take me home and then unwrap me <br /> "I'm so sexy, take be back to your place and take my clothes off"<br /> <br /> Shop around with every dollar <br /> "Do everything to me"<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Hey little girl looking for a sale <br /> Test drive this American male <br /> "Ride my cock"<br /> <br /> <br /> It's gonna to take cash to fill my tank <br /> So let's crack open your piggy bank <br /> "Let me put my dick in your cunt"<br /> <br /> <br /> Hey little girl goin window shopping <br /> I got something that's traffic stopping<br /> <br /> "Hey horny girl, I've got a huge cock" <br /> <br /> Hey little girl on a spending spree <br /> I don't come cheap but the kisses come free <br /> On closer inspection I'm sure that you'll agree <br /> <br /> "Hey horny girl, inspect my cock"<br /> <br /> Oh, hey little girl listen to my plea<br /> "I'm horny"<br /> <br /> I come with a lifetime guarantee <br /> One day maybe we'll find that baby makes <br /> "I could knock you up"<br /> <br /> <br /> That is basically what it is saying.
