This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
I can feel you in the raising tide
Can you feel me by the fire side
From the moonlight
Through the cherry trees
Open the roof and take in the view
'Cause you're my sweetest dream
Come true
Colour the dusk, deep navy blue
And try to be brave
Cause I'll be right beside you
There's a world so high
Hold out your hands
And you can go anywhere
So reach for the stars
'Cause I'll be waiting up there
And you can finally fly
Cause you'll be lighter than air
Colour the dusk, deep navy blue
And try to be brave
'Cause I'll be right beside you
There's a world so high
Hold out your hands
And you can go anywhere
So reach for the stars
'Cause I'll be waiting up there
And you can finally fly
'Cause you'll be lighter than air
Can you feel me by the fire side
From the moonlight
Through the cherry trees
Open the roof and take in the view
'Cause you're my sweetest dream
Come true
Colour the dusk, deep navy blue
And try to be brave
Cause I'll be right beside you
There's a world so high
Hold out your hands
And you can go anywhere
So reach for the stars
'Cause I'll be waiting up there
And you can finally fly
Cause you'll be lighter than air
Colour the dusk, deep navy blue
And try to be brave
'Cause I'll be right beside you
There's a world so high
Hold out your hands
And you can go anywhere
So reach for the stars
'Cause I'll be waiting up there
And you can finally fly
'Cause you'll be lighter than air

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.
You guys have it all wrong, the song is talking about how the love of his life is dying, and he is telling her how much she fulfilled his life, and that even though she is about to embrace death she needs to be brave, because there is after life. She will be able to fly, and when his time comes he will be waiting there for her. Color the dusk deep navy blue, means don't think of death as a bad thing.
