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, hey, hey, hey)
The top down in the summer sun
The day we met was like a hit an run
And I still taste it on my tongue (taste it on my tongue)
The sky was burning up like fireworks
You made me want you, oh, so bad it hurt
But girl, in case you haven't heard
I used to be love drunk but now I'm hungover
I'll love you forever, forever is over
We used to kiss all night, now it's just a bar fight
So don't call me crying, say hello to goodbye (oh, yeah)
'Cause just one sip (oh, yeah)
Would make me sick
I used to be love drunk but now I'm hungover
I'll love you forever but now it's over
(Hey, hey, hey, hey)
(Hey, hey, hey, hey)
Hot sweat and blurry eyes
We're spinning 'round a roller coaster ride
The world stuck in black and white (stuck in black and white)
You drove me crazy every time we touched
Now I'm so broken that I can't get up
Oh girl, you make me such a lush
I used to be love drunk but now I'm hungover
I'll love you forever, forever is over
We used to kiss all night, now it's just a bar fight
So don't call me crying, say hello to goodbye (oh, yeah)
'Cause just one sip (oh, yeah)
Would make me sick
I used to be love drunk but now I'm hungover
I'll love you forever but now its over
All the time I wasted on you
All the bullshit you put me through
Checking into rehab 'cause everything we had
Didn't mean a thing to you
I used to be love drunk but now I'm hungover
I'll love you forever but now I'm sober
I used to be love drunk but now I'm hungover
I'll love you forever, forever is over
We used to kiss all night, now it's just a bar fight
So don't call me crying, say hello to goodbye (oh, yeah)
'Cause just one thing (oh, yeah)
Would make me say
I used to be love drunk but now I'm hungover
I'll love you forever but now its over
Now it's over
Now it's over (still taste it on my tongue)
Now it's over
The top down in the summer sun
The day we met was like a hit an run
And I still taste it on my tongue (taste it on my tongue)
The sky was burning up like fireworks
You made me want you, oh, so bad it hurt
But girl, in case you haven't heard
I used to be love drunk but now I'm hungover
I'll love you forever, forever is over
We used to kiss all night, now it's just a bar fight
So don't call me crying, say hello to goodbye (oh, yeah)
'Cause just one sip (oh, yeah)
Would make me sick
I used to be love drunk but now I'm hungover
I'll love you forever but now it's over
(Hey, hey, hey, hey)
(Hey, hey, hey, hey)
Hot sweat and blurry eyes
We're spinning 'round a roller coaster ride
The world stuck in black and white (stuck in black and white)
You drove me crazy every time we touched
Now I'm so broken that I can't get up
Oh girl, you make me such a lush
I used to be love drunk but now I'm hungover
I'll love you forever, forever is over
We used to kiss all night, now it's just a bar fight
So don't call me crying, say hello to goodbye (oh, yeah)
'Cause just one sip (oh, yeah)
Would make me sick
I used to be love drunk but now I'm hungover
I'll love you forever but now its over
All the time I wasted on you
All the bullshit you put me through
Checking into rehab 'cause everything we had
Didn't mean a thing to you
I used to be love drunk but now I'm hungover
I'll love you forever but now I'm sober
I used to be love drunk but now I'm hungover
I'll love you forever, forever is over
We used to kiss all night, now it's just a bar fight
So don't call me crying, say hello to goodbye (oh, yeah)
'Cause just one thing (oh, yeah)
Would make me say
I used to be love drunk but now I'm hungover
I'll love you forever but now its over
Now it's over
Now it's over (still taste it on my tongue)
Now it's over

Little Feat
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”
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
