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.
Tonight it's on
Play my song
It's a celebration
I worked a long week
And now there is no hesitation
I need a drink or two
Make that a few
I ain't waiting
Yes, yes I'm gone
And you know I got no time for wasting
Gonna forget my troubles
'Cause it's a special night
Not going to stress on nothing
I'm feeling quite alright
If it's your birthday baby
I'm going to grant your wish
This is a private party
VIP in this bitch
I'm a prima donna
I can rule the world
Don't care who's around me
I can fool the world
So hand's up
Catch this feeling
There's no stopping this
Right now in this moment
I can rule the world
So ladies,
Pop, pop, pop
Throw it up
Make it
Pop, pop, pop
Turn it up, speakers
Pop, pop, pop
'Til I'm drunk, bottles
Pop, pop, pop
(Take it back to the verse right now)
A little fun
Never killed, never hurt nobody
So grab a glass, and raise it up
Baby work your body
Ain't nothing wrong, just go on
If you're feeling naughty
Yes, yes I'm grown
And I don't need a judgment on me
Gonna forget my troubles
'Cause it's a special night
Not going to stress on nothing
I'm feeling quite alright
If it's your birthday baby
I'm going to grant your wish
This is a private party
VIP in this bitch
I'm a prima donna
I can rule the world
Don't care who's around me
I can fool the world
So hand's up
Catch this feeling
There's no stopping this
Right now in this moment
I can rule the world
So ladies,
Pop, pop, pop
Throw it up
Make it
Pop, pop, pop
Turn it up, speakers
Pop, pop, pop
'Til I'm drunk, bottles
Pop, pop, pop
Whoa

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.

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.
oh god, next single please. IT'S OBVIOUSLY ABOUT PRIMADONNAS. <3
quite possibly my favorite song off the album. love it!
