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.
Hey, there, pretty lady
Tell me how you're doing
Tell me what can I do to help
'Cause I've been thinking of you for a little while now
And this, right here, is how I feel
Girl, you got me going crazy
Knock me off my feet
Now, you got me begging, baby
Begging, baby, please
All I wanna know is do you wanna get away?
Get away with me
'Cause girl, I don't know what to do
'Cause I'm so in love with you
Head over my heels
Yeah, I know how I feel
Girl, you know that I'm in love
Oh, I was so lonely
Now, I know you love me
This, right here, is how I feel
Whoa-oh-oh
Girl, you got me going crazy
Knock me off my feet
Now, you got me begging, baby
Begging, baby, please
All I wanna know is do you wanna get away?
Get away with me
'Cause girl, I don't know what to do
'Cause I'm so in love with you
Come on
All I wanna know is do you wanna get away?
Yeah
Girl, you got me going crazy
Knock me off my feet
Now, you got me begging, baby
Girl, I'm on my knees
All I wanna know is do you wanna get away?
Get away with me
'Cause girl, I don't know what to do 'cause I'm so in love
So in love
So in love with you
Ah
Tell me how you're doing
Tell me what can I do to help
'Cause I've been thinking of you for a little while now
And this, right here, is how I feel
Girl, you got me going crazy
Knock me off my feet
Now, you got me begging, baby
Begging, baby, please
All I wanna know is do you wanna get away?
Get away with me
'Cause girl, I don't know what to do
'Cause I'm so in love with you
Head over my heels
Yeah, I know how I feel
Girl, you know that I'm in love
Oh, I was so lonely
Now, I know you love me
This, right here, is how I feel
Whoa-oh-oh
Girl, you got me going crazy
Knock me off my feet
Now, you got me begging, baby
Begging, baby, please
All I wanna know is do you wanna get away?
Get away with me
'Cause girl, I don't know what to do
'Cause I'm so in love with you
Come on
All I wanna know is do you wanna get away?

Knock me off my feet
Now, you got me begging, baby
Girl, I'm on my knees
All I wanna know is do you wanna get away?
Get away with me
'Cause girl, I don't know what to do 'cause I'm so in love

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

“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
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.
so fun. and cute. i adore it.
they should have played this on the current tour instead og getcha good.
this is such an amazing song. probably my favourite out of the whole cd next to burnin up. i love when nick says "all i wanna know is do you wanna get away" ! it's basically about a guy who's crazy in love with a girl... the lyrics are pretty cheesy but the beat is addictive!
1:58 where nic yells "girl you got me goin' CRAZY" is amazing. i've replayed it like 34953 times.
I love this song. But it drives me crazy that the beginning is almost exactly the same as "Still in Love With You."
They apparently wrote this song at the same time as Still In Love With You, which is why the beginnings are almost identical. And I'm pretty sure the lines "'Cause I'm still in love with you" and "'Cause I'm so in love with you" are also meant to tie the two songs together, in a way.
This song is about Selena Gomez, nick wrote it when he was in love with her after breaking up with Miley..
Just my idea after research...
What research did you do?
