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'm hot, baby, you're hot,
Oh! So why not, baby, why not,
Uh uh uh, I'm hot, baby, you're hot,
No no, Oh! Why not, so baby, why not,
Oh yea, I'm hot, baby, you're hot,
Yea yea, Oh! Why not, so baby, why not,
Uh uh uh, I'm hot, baby, you're hot,
Oh! So why not, baby, why not?
Gazes meeting in the middle of a dance floor,
My lips anticipating,
Come here and move it, baby, show me what you're made for,
Oh, so long that I've been waiting,
I'm sweating bullets, baby, don't know what to do now,
So hot in here, I'm fainting,
Like little children, baby, waiting for the school bell,
My fingers finger-painting,
And I know you wanted me,
My picture in a magazine,
You know I was lookin' at you,
A table set just for two,
I know you wanted me,
My picture in a magazine,
You know I was lookin' at you,
A table set just for two,
And I know you wanted me,
My picture in a magazine,
You know I was lookin' at you,
A table set just for two,
I know you wanted me,
My picture in a magazine,
You know I was lookin' at you,
A table set just for two,
And I know you wanted me,
My picture in a magazine,
You know I was lookin' at you,
A table set just for two,
And I know you wanted me,
My picture in a magazine,
You know I was lookin' at you,
A table set just for two
Oh! So why not, baby, why not,
Uh uh uh, I'm hot, baby, you're hot,
No no, Oh! Why not, so baby, why not,
Oh yea, I'm hot, baby, you're hot,
Yea yea, Oh! Why not, so baby, why not,
Uh uh uh, I'm hot, baby, you're hot,
Oh! So why not, baby, why not?
Gazes meeting in the middle of a dance floor,
My lips anticipating,
Come here and move it, baby, show me what you're made for,
Oh, so long that I've been waiting,
I'm sweating bullets, baby, don't know what to do now,
So hot in here, I'm fainting,
Like little children, baby, waiting for the school bell,
My fingers finger-painting,
And I know you wanted me,
My picture in a magazine,
You know I was lookin' at you,
A table set just for two,
I know you wanted me,
My picture in a magazine,
You know I was lookin' at you,
A table set just for two,
And I know you wanted me,
My picture in a magazine,
You know I was lookin' at you,
A table set just for two,
I know you wanted me,
My picture in a magazine,
You know I was lookin' at you,
A table set just for two,
And I know you wanted me,
My picture in a magazine,
You know I was lookin' at you,
A table set just for two,
And I know you wanted me,
My picture in a magazine,
You know I was lookin' at you,
A table set just for two

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”

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.

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
At the very beginning, it's "Uh! Baby, you're hot, I'm hot, baby you're hot, so why not, baby, why not? Uh! I'm hot baby, you're hot, so why not, baby, why not?" ect. All of those extra 'uh's are actually 'I'm hot's.
ohh ok haha thanks i'll fix it i wasn't exactly sure.
Yeah, it's super hard to understand. I hadn't listened to the song in so long that I had to go back and make sure myself. (:
i thought it was "gazes meeting in the middle of a dance floor"
One of my favorite 30h!3 songs, just has an awesome groove to it.
