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.
Yeah
I'm not sayin' this to shake you up (sayin')
I'm just sayin' this to wake you up (sayin') (woo)
It's all good when we makin' love
All I ask is don't take our love
For granted, 'cause, granted (that's all I ask, baby)
My love for you is real (oh) (yeah)
If you don't love me
Somebody else will (somebody else)
Baby girl don't you, ever, get too, comfortable
(Comfortable, comfortable, comfortable) yeah
Yeah, to the left, to the left
If you wanna leave, be my guest, you can step
Feelin' irreplaceable, listenin' to Beyoncé
Well, okay, I'll put you out on your b-day
Hey, now if you rockin' with Weezy
Bedroom in the bank, baby, we safe
I got game like EA
But I wanna let you play
And don't I treat you like soufflé?
Don't I look at you like I see a new day?
And don't I do what I do say?
I'm through talkin' so I'ma let you, 'Face
I'm not sayin' this to shake you up (and let 'Ye do 'Ye) (sayin')
I'm just sayin' this to wake you up (yeah) (sayin')
It's all good when we makin' love
All I ask is don't take our love
For granted, 'cause, granted (yeah)
My love for you is real (ooh)
If you don't love me
Somebody else will (tried to tell her)
Baby girl, don't you ever get too comfortable
Yeah (comfortable, comfortable, comfortable)
Yeah, let me catch my breath
Talkin' 'bout leavin' and you ain't gone yet
And if you leave, leave correct
And I'ma send a jet to pick up the next
And if you leave, you leavin' the best
So you will have to settle for less
And I am no Elliott Ness
I don't handcuff, I don't arrest
I do confess to the murder scene
'Cause under them sheets, I am a mess
Yes, baby, you're blessed
Now just don't jump your nest, come on, yeah
I'm not sayin' this to shake you up (sayin') (haha)
I'm just sayin' this to wake you up (sayin') (wake up)
It's all good when we makin' love
All I ask is don't take our love
For granted, 'cause, granted
My love for you is real (oh)
If you don't love me
Somebody else will
Baby girl, don't you, ever get too comfortable (yeah)
(Comfortable, comfortable, comfortable)
Yeah, it's no sweat, no sweat
I would never one-two-three-forget about you
Your love, your sex
You know I work you out like bowflex
Haha, all jokes, no stress
Love, live life, proceed, progress
Make sure the neighbors get no rest
We can get together, never disconnect
Yeah, your back, your neck
Funny how that song haven't got old yet
To us, so let's project
You stay in, never incorrect, 'Face
I'm not sayin' this to shake you up (sayin') (yeah)
I'm just sayin' this to wake you up (sayin') (I got one)
It's all good when we makin' love
All I ask is don't take our love (yeah)
For granted, 'cause, granted (hahaha)
My love for you is real (oh)
If you don't love me
Somebody else will (irreplaceable, huh?)
Baby girl, don't you (yeah)
Ever (ha) get too comfortable
Don't get too comfortable

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”
Blue
Ed Sheeran
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.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
"I got game like EA..." I love this song. Honestly. Although he is speaking to a woman and it seems like he is kicking her out, this piece demonstrates the delicate balance between love and hate. His love for this woman is so powerful that even at his moment of absolute anger, he still protests her leaving and asks her to stay. He truly loves this woman but because of her comments and attitude, she has insulted his ego and made him extremely angry. This song is raw, honest and touching.
this song is amazing. i love it he's pretty much just tellin his girl dont play games cuz' he can always find another.
Your back, Your neck Funny how that song haven't get old yet to us love this part... =]
also there is a mistake in the lyrics
"I'm not saying this to shame or you or say I'm just saying this to wake you up and It's all good when we make love All I ask is you take our love for granted Stranded (That's all I ask) My love for you is real If you don't love me somebody else will Baby girl don't you eva get to comfortable (Comfortable)"
should be....
"I'm not saying this to shake you up I'm just saying this to wake you up It's all good when we making love All I ask is don't take our love For granted, it's granted My love for you, is real Baby if you don't love me Somebody else will So don't you ever get too comfortable"
