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.
Prolly get it wrong as much as I get it right,
But I got it right woman when I caught your eye
What I remember most about that night is
I love the way you move baby
I love the way you move baby
I like most liquor but I don't like gin
I don't always like the skin I'm in
When I get it wrong I'm gonna start again
But I love the way you love me baby
I love the way you move baby
Oh oh oh oh yeah
Oh oh oh oh yeah
Oh oh oh oh
All the freaks are on parade, I wanna fill my belly so I gotta get paid
Doesn't everybody deserve to have a good life
But it don't always work out, so cry cry baby if we must
But just remember, just remember I love the way you love me baby
And I love the way you move
I'm not all there, but I'm a faithful sinner
I might get lost, but I'll be home for dinner
If God don't like me he can send me to hell
But I love the way you love me girl
And I love the way you move baby
But I prayed to heaven to keep my place
'Till I looked in the mirror saw the devil's face
And I'll be a dog for a tail to chase
But I love the way you kiss me baby
I love the way you talk baby
I love the way you talk
All the freaks are on parade, I wanna fill my belly so I gotta get paid
Doesn't everybody deserve to have a good life
But it don't always work out, so cry cry baby if we must
But just remember, just remember I love the way you move
Bad days come when the good day's gone
Workin' as hard as the day is long
A workin' man works but when I get home
I love the way you talk baby
I love the way you talk baby
All the freaks are on parade, I wanna fill my belly so I gotta get paid
Doesn't everybody deserve to have a good life
But it don't always work out, so cry cry baby if we must, but
Oh, remember,
Oh remember,
All the people are on parade, thought I saw a spaceman tryin' to get laid
Doesn't everybody deserve to have a good life
But it don't always work out, cry cry baby if we must
But just remember, I'll remember
I love the way you love me girl
But I got it right woman when I caught your eye
What I remember most about that night is
I love the way you move baby
I love the way you move baby
I like most liquor but I don't like gin
I don't always like the skin I'm in
When I get it wrong I'm gonna start again
But I love the way you love me baby
I love the way you move baby
Oh oh oh oh yeah
Oh oh oh oh yeah
Oh oh oh oh
All the freaks are on parade, I wanna fill my belly so I gotta get paid
Doesn't everybody deserve to have a good life
But it don't always work out, so cry cry baby if we must
But just remember, just remember I love the way you love me baby
And I love the way you move
I'm not all there, but I'm a faithful sinner
I might get lost, but I'll be home for dinner
If God don't like me he can send me to hell
But I love the way you love me girl
And I love the way you move baby
But I prayed to heaven to keep my place
'Till I looked in the mirror saw the devil's face
And I'll be a dog for a tail to chase
But I love the way you kiss me baby
I love the way you talk baby
I love the way you talk
All the freaks are on parade, I wanna fill my belly so I gotta get paid
Doesn't everybody deserve to have a good life
But it don't always work out, so cry cry baby if we must
But just remember, just remember I love the way you move
Bad days come when the good day's gone
Workin' as hard as the day is long
A workin' man works but when I get home
I love the way you talk baby
I love the way you talk baby
All the freaks are on parade, I wanna fill my belly so I gotta get paid
Doesn't everybody deserve to have a good life
But it don't always work out, so cry cry baby if we must, but
Oh, remember,
Oh remember,
All the people are on parade, thought I saw a spaceman tryin' to get laid
Doesn't everybody deserve to have a good life
But it don't always work out, cry cry baby if we must
But just remember, I'll remember
I love the way you love me girl

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” 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.

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.
