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.
I fell in love with a boy
Thought it would last forever
We got our moment in the sun
In the summer weather
In something new
Memories turn to you
Ooo, one crazy summer with you
Ooo, one crazy summer with you
Ooo, one crazy summer with you
We had the longest summer days
And even longer nights
And I wish that you were here
Lying here tonight
In something old
I see something new
Ooo, one crazy summer with you
Ooo, one crazy summer with you
Ooo, one crazy summer with you
The sun against my skin
The warmth of your hand holding onto mine
Let's take a snapshot of this moment
And save it for all time
Ooo, one crazy summer with you
Ooo, one crazy summer with you
Ooo, one crazy summer with you
Ooo, one crazy summer with you
Thought it would last forever
We got our moment in the sun
In the summer weather
In something new
Memories turn to you
Ooo, one crazy summer with you
Ooo, one crazy summer with you
Ooo, one crazy summer with you
We had the longest summer days
And even longer nights
And I wish that you were here
Lying here tonight
In something old
I see something new
Ooo, one crazy summer with you
Ooo, one crazy summer with you
Ooo, one crazy summer with you
The sun against my skin
The warmth of your hand holding onto mine
Let's take a snapshot of this moment
And save it for all time
Ooo, one crazy summer with you
Ooo, one crazy summer with you
Ooo, one crazy summer with you
Ooo, one crazy summer with you

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.
