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.
Friends, tell me I am crazy
That I'm wasting time with you
You'll never be mine
Just be good to me
Ha, Just be good to green
All I need is a woman to be good to me
I'm an easy man, I'm easily pleased
An you provide me with everything that I need
Look you know I make ends I grind
So hold onto yours we're spending mine
Though you try I never let you buy
But If I was broke would you still be spending time?
Yes
An I believe you would
Don't think P's to fucked to treat you good
I walk street with you, talk deep with you
Even slip an spend all week with you
Then I'm off, you wish I'd put an end to the torment
Stop, but one thing it's not ever is boring
What would you rather me be like?
I ain't ever gonna change are you ever gonna realize?
Always talk about
Look, people are always gonna talk babes,
Reputation
I ain't even gonna lie
Shit, but it ain't like you don't know what mine is
I don't care what you do to them
Nah
Just be good to me
I'll try, an try, an try
Look babes, you know who I am
But as crooked as I am
I'll be as good as I can
I try an try though its evident my
Angel face is disguise for the devil inside
You're good to me, I ain't good to girls, me?
I'm a bad boy something every good girl needs, hehe
Honesty could avoid all your tantrums
But I'm a naughty boy and I always have been
What
An that ain't changing any time soon
I can't have you with me whenever I move
Whatever I do, I come back to you,
See the good attracts me and the crook attracts you
Whatever
What
We've all got our ways
Remember us talking?
Of course it was game
But it's all gone an changed
Now she's got me cutting of links like I'm trying to shorten my chain
Always talk about
Look, people are always gonna talk babes,
Reputation
I ain't even gonna lie
Shit, but it ain't like you don't know what mine is
I don't care what you do to them
Nah
Just be good to me
I'll try, an try, an try
Friends are always telling me
You're a user
Not me not ever,
Ain't no other man gonna treat you better
I don't care what you do to them
Nah
Just be good to me
I'll try, and try, and try
I'll be good to you
You'll be good to me
We can be together be together
I'll be good to you
You'll be good to me
We can be together be together
Just be good to me
Why you always listening to them?

He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
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.
this song is an awesome song, really kool track.
