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.
When you see the pretty girl just walking down the street in the skimpy black skirt and just showing all her flesh. And the little mini-skirt that's riding up her ass, and the silky long hair that's just riding down her back. And the slender long legs that wrap around you, and the cute little face that's smiling in the wind.
How do you feel? How do you feel? How do you feel? "It's this feeling called lust"
That girl looks mighty sexy, that girl looks mighty fine. It's the way she moves her hips, oh I wish that girl were mine. You see her, you want her, when she flash that sunny smile. When those full red lips say to you, "Let's stay awhile".
Woah, those eyes, those hips I want those hips, just want to make me scream. Oh my God these things of lust will take me to the grave.
How do you feel? How do you feel? How do you feel? "It's this feeling called lust"
How do you feel? How do you feel? How do you feel? "It's this feeling called lust"
That girl looks mighty sexy, that girl looks mighty fine. It's the way she moves her hips, oh I wish that girl were mine. You see her, you want her, when she flash that sunny smile. When those full red lips say to you, "Let's stay awhile".
Woah, those eyes, those hips I want those hips, just want to make me scream. Oh my God these things of lust will take me to the grave.
How do you feel? How do you feel? How do you feel? "It's this feeling called lust"

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.
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.
