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.
What if I fall along the way
Would you be there
So you heard, that I'm on my way
Wish that I didn't have to say goodbye
I'll rely on your faith in me.
I got my feet on the ground
But my head's in the clouds
Can't forget where I come from
I hope your there when I'm done
I got my feet on the ground
But my head's in the clouds
Can't forget where I come from
I hope your there when I'm
What if I fall along the way would
You be there to ease the pain?
Took my one shot, picked it up and threw it away
Won't be long
Won't be long before I break
It's the touch, and the taste
It's the feel of a brand new place
When I go, you'll be there,
In a month in a year.
I got my feet on the ground
But my head's in the cloud
Can't forget where I come from
I hope your there when I'm done
I got my feet on the ground
But my head's in the clouds
Can't forget where I come from
I hope your there when I'm
What if I fall along the way would
You be there to ease the pain?
Took my one shot, picked it up and threw it away
Won't be long
Won't be long before I break
What if I fall along the way would
You be there to ease the pain?
Took my one shot, picked it up and threw it away
Won't be long
Won't be long before I break
So so you think that I am wasting my time
But I'm ready (I'm ready to go)
So so I know I've got this under control
But I'm ready
What if I fall along the way would
You be there to ease the pain?
You took my one shot, picked it up and threw it away
Won't be long
Won't be long
What if I fall along the way would
You be there to ease the pain?
Took my one shot, picked it up and threw it away
Won't be long
Won't be long before I break
What if I fall along the way would
You be there to ease the pain?
Took my one shot, picked it up and threw it away
Won't be long
Won't be long before I break
So so you think that I am wasting my time
But I'm ready (Won't be long before I break)
So so you think that I am wasting my time
Won't be long (won't be long before I break)
Would you be there
So you heard, that I'm on my way
Wish that I didn't have to say goodbye
I'll rely on your faith in me.
I got my feet on the ground
But my head's in the clouds
Can't forget where I come from
I hope your there when I'm done
I got my feet on the ground

I hope your there when I'm
What if I fall along the way would
You be there to ease the pain?
Took my one shot, picked it up and threw it away
Won't be long
Won't be long before I break
It's the touch, and the taste
It's the feel of a brand new place

In a month in a year.

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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.

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.
this song is like amazing lol i know this'll sound gay... but the first time i heard it i was on a cross country trip and i the hardest race of the season and the hardest course coming up the next day.... and all i could think about was the pain i would go though and i kept thinking "what if i fall... what if i cant do it...?" and then i bought this CD at hollisters lol cause i liked the song allow me to introduce myself... mr. right lol and i heard this song.. and i kept relating it to my race coming up lol and that if i fell my team would always be there to pick me up and help me along the way...

it's
"It's my one shot picked it up and threw it away, won't be long."
=] it's in the booklet
the lyric was "fuck it up" in the original version, but for the album version they changed it..
