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.

Bust it ba-by
Ayy, can I please talk to my bust it babies real quick homie?
Let me bring you in my world (Plies, Ne-Yo)
And let you know what I call my lil' bust it baby
She got me speedin' in the fast lane
Pedal to the floor Mayne
Tryna get back to her love (her love)
Best believe she got that good thang
She my little hood thang
Ask around, they know us
They'll know that's my baby (buss it)
Everybody know that my baby (buss it)
Everybody know that's my
If I wasn't married to the streets, it'd be you
Yo' lips, what make you so cute
Love when you poke yo' mouth out when you mad too
Save your number in my phone under lil' boo
Like your sex, but more in love of what you do
Turn me on how you stare at me when we through
When you give it to me, I don't wanna turn ya loose
Scared to moan 'round you, so all I can say is, "ooh"
My favorite panties of yours, the ones that see-thru
One wit the pink trim on 'em and they light blue
Speakin' for the goons, thank God for makin' you
Buss It Baby is what I call you
She got me speedin' in the fast lane
Pedal to the floor Mayne
Tryna get back to her love (her love)
Best believe she got that good thang
She my little hood thang
Ask around, they know us
They'll know that's my baby (buss it)
Everybody know that my baby (buss it)
Everybody know that's my
Yeah, yeah, yeah, so now
They say, "he's an entertainer (slow down)
You're just one more (he don't respect you)
He just gon' hurt you (and neglect you)"
Well let 'em say what they wanna (yeah)
I made a promise (yeah)
To do you right and I'm gonna (ayy)
Girl I'll do everything I can
To prove I'm a better man
Than your friends think I am (ayy, ohh)
She got me speedin' in the fast lane
Pedal to the floor Mayne
Tryna get back to her love (her love)
Best believe she got that good thang
She my little hood thang
Ask around, they know us
They'll know that's my baby (buss it)
Everybody know that my baby (buss it)
Everybody know that's my
I jus' gave her a nick name it's Wet-Wet
'Cause when we finished, she mess up all the bed sets
She got somethin' to relax me when I'm under stress
Never told her or let her know it but she the best
She like to spell her name wit her tongue on my chest
If you would told me it was this good, I'd never guessed
She full of surprises, I don't know what she'll do next
But while she sleep, I sneak and put hickies on her neck
And when she go out, she shut down the whole set
Love to see her in heels wit the slit in her dress
She like to do her own hair and get her own checks
My Bust It Baby, I keep her on deck
She got me speedin' in the fast lane
Pedal to the floor Mayne
Tryna get back to her love (her love)
Best believe she got that good thang
She my little hood thang
Ask around, they know us
They'll know that's my baby (buss it)
Everybody know that my baby (buss it)
Everybody know that's my
Bust it ba-by
Ayy, can I please talk to my bust it babies real quick homie?
Let me bring you in my world (Plies, Ne-Yo)

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Plastic Bag

Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
love this song
this kinda reminds me of my boyfriend before he finally gave in =] ...had his rep, and i was cool with it cuz i dont like bein held down too much, but now we're both hittin we're we wanna be and thats together
...sorry streets, i'm first now =]
His songs are always very sexual, but also are about just one girl that's special to him
Turn me on how you stare at me when we through< love it
If I wadn't married to the streets, it'd be YOU...classiccccccc
Does anyone know why in Philly they bleep out the "bust it baby" in the chorus? what do they think that means?
