This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
everyone says itll laugh like you
everyone says itll get your smile
well im the only one who knows you never loved me baby
not a single solitary time
not a single solitary time
everyone says itll have your temper
everyone says itll have your eyes
well im the only one who knows where you were sleeping baby
and i really wouldnt be surprised
i really wouldnt be surprised
everybody tells me that im crazy
saying im too young to have a baby
but maybe the jokes on you this time
maybe the jokes on you this time
and everyone will say that im a liar
everyday the swallowing gets tighter
keeping this a secret has been murder
and id like to get on with my life
id like to get on with my life
everyone says itll laugh like you
everyone says itll get your smile
well i dont even know if youre the father
but there isnt anyway its mine
everyone says itll get your smile
well im the only one who knows you never loved me baby
not a single solitary time
not a single solitary time
everyone says itll have your temper
everyone says itll have your eyes
well im the only one who knows where you were sleeping baby
and i really wouldnt be surprised
i really wouldnt be surprised
everybody tells me that im crazy
saying im too young to have a baby
but maybe the jokes on you this time
maybe the jokes on you this time
and everyone will say that im a liar
everyday the swallowing gets tighter
keeping this a secret has been murder
and id like to get on with my life
id like to get on with my life
everyone says itll laugh like you
everyone says itll get your smile
well i dont even know if youre the father
but there isnt anyway its mine

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.
I agree with the other comments, but I think, on a more literal level, this song could be about having a baby and really just not feeling like it's yours. I think the last verse is really great because of the twist Amanda puts on the fact that sometimes people don't know who the father of a child is, but almost always know who its mother is because she gave birth to it. But Amanda is saying that it doesn't really matter who the father of it is, just that it was something inside her that someone put there (I agree with the above poster) and she knows that its not hers because she feels like it doesn't belong to her.
