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.
I send my love to you, I send my hands to you
I send my clothes to you, I send my nose to you
I send my trees to you, I send my please to you
Won't you send some back to me?
Send your ways to me, send your call to me
Send you days to me, send it all to me
And when I'm high and square
When I would have you there, you will be
The moon is falling, my wounds are calling
My head is bleeding and I'm a duck
The lake is cracking, it hears me quacking
Fuck the land and two if by me
Send your ways to me, send your call to me
Send your days to me, send it all to me
And when I'm high and square
When I would have you there, you will be
I send my clothes to you, I send my nose to you
I send my trees to you, I send my please to you
Won't you send some back to me?
Send your ways to me, send your call to me
Send you days to me, send it all to me
And when I'm high and square
When I would have you there, you will be
The moon is falling, my wounds are calling
My head is bleeding and I'm a duck
The lake is cracking, it hears me quacking
Fuck the land and two if by me
Send your ways to me, send your call to me
Send your days to me, send it all to me
And when I'm high and square
When I would have you there, you will be

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”
Magical

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
This song seems to be about giving love to another but for whatever reason they don't accept it, so it's being sent but not received. I think everyone can relate to this-; you feel like if you just say the right thing the person will understand how you feel about them and come around but they never do. That's been my experience at least.
