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”
Stars shine when no one is watching
I scream and nobody hears
I've hurt and cried and made my way
And no one has to see my tears
And the world spins around and around
They put you in the cold, cold ground
And the world spins around and around
They put you in the cold, cold ground
I've lived and died and nobody noticed
My suffering is nobody's blame
Love and hate forever existed
Everyday it's all just the same
And the world spins around and around
They put you in the cold, cold ground
And the world spins around and around
They put you in the cold, cold ground
Throwing stones in a pocket of tears
Throwing stones in a pocket of tears
Throwing stones in a pocket of tears
I caught myself having nothing
Caught myself having nothing, nothing
Caught myself having nothing
Caught myself having nothing, nothing at all
Flowers will still bloom without
The sun will shine when you're gone
The wind will blow on without her
And we still will all go on and on
And on and on and on and on and on
And on and on and on and on and on
And the world spins around and around
And the world spins around and around
Throwing stones, throwing stones and on
I scream and nobody hears
I've hurt and cried and made my way
And no one has to see my tears
And the world spins around and around
They put you in the cold, cold ground
And the world spins around and around
They put you in the cold, cold ground
I've lived and died and nobody noticed
My suffering is nobody's blame
Love and hate forever existed
Everyday it's all just the same
And the world spins around and around
They put you in the cold, cold ground
And the world spins around and around
They put you in the cold, cold ground
Throwing stones in a pocket of tears
Throwing stones in a pocket of tears
Throwing stones in a pocket of tears
I caught myself having nothing
Caught myself having nothing, nothing
Caught myself having nothing
Caught myself having nothing, nothing at all
Flowers will still bloom without
The sun will shine when you're gone
The wind will blow on without her
And we still will all go on and on
And on and on and on and on and on
And on and on and on and on and on
And the world spins around and around
And the world spins around and around
Throwing stones, throwing stones and on

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.
This song kind of explains the way i feel. The one day you really look at yourself and say what if i was gone. and everytime i make an achievement no one cares, because it may be a small goal that means a lot to you
Sounds like it's about someone who wants to put their suffering on display, for pity or whatever, so they pull out their pocket of tears. The narrator suggests that this is futile, as others' lives will go on regardless of your personal suffering and nobody else is to blame for it.
