call it off, keep it in
grind it down to medicine
(oooooh)

especially anything
keep it in your first aid kit
(oooooh)

call it off, keep it in
grind it down to medicine

especially anything
keep it in your first aid kit

'cause lately I'm a good news guy
yes lately I'm a good news guy

call her up, she stays in
grind it down, her medicine

her specialty's anything
but lately she use a first aid kit

call her off, she stays in
grinding down, her medicine

her specialty's anything
but lately she's a first aid kit

her specialty's anything
but lately she's a first aid kit
(keep it in your first aid kit)

(oooooh)

'cause lately I'm a good news guy
yes lately I'm a good news guy

'cause lately I'm a good news guy

call it off, keep it in
grind it down to medicine

    I believe it's:

    call her up, she stays in grinding down her medicine

    and

    her specialty's anything but lately she's a first aid kit

    I think every time Dave says "lately I'm a good news guy," Luke says "lately I been a good news guy." Probably not very important, just something I noticed.

    I think it's "Her specialty's anything, but lately she's a first date kid"

    I'm confused as to why they'd repeat "first aid kit" over and over in the song, but it's called "First Date Kit"...? Or is that supposed to be the point?

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
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.

Amazing
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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
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.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
