Crowds push and shove down the street in a bus fume haze
Building for a new day
Will become of you and me
Our love

I want to shout from the roof “No these things they just don't do
Will they wait for me and you
Or just leave us both behind
I don’t know”

She said, "Man I don't want to play around with words,
I just want to lay with you.
I can't solve the problems in this world
It's breaking my brain in two."

Hey baby don't you know
Our dreams they are the same
We’re waiting on you
Don’t want you for your time
They promise you a lie
Say it isn't true

Lately I can tell that you’re scared
Well, we're growing up
Said Maybe if you changed your hair
You'd be good enough for
Kids I used to know that died
Now they're not around
I wonder what they think of life
When they're looking down

Want to walk to your door
So I head from the store
And I ring on your bell
Cause I see that you'are home
and I wait for a while
And I look up to the sky
But nobody comes

Back on my feet
I went straight to the place
Where we were when you said
All the words that you meant
For me then
Do you still mean them now?
Well I can't see how you do
But I hope that it's so

She said, "Well right now you and I we're getting high,
But it don't have to be this way.
Baby I don't want to say goodbye,
But it's all that I aim to say."

Hey baby don't you know
Our dreams they are the same
We’re waiting on you
Don’t want you for your time
They promised you a lie
I say it isn't true

Lately I can tell that you’re scared
Well, we're growing up
Said Maybe if you changed your hair
You'd be good enough for
Kids I used to know that died
Now they're not around
I wonder what they think of life
When they're looking down

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
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.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Blue
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 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.
