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.
It's in my trunk
It's in my trunk
I got that thump in my trunk
It's in my tru'
I got that thump in my trunk
It's in my trunk
I got that thump in my tru' tru' tru'
It's in my trunk
It's in my trunk
I got that thump in my trunk
It's in my trunk
I got that thump in my trunk
It's in my tru'
I got that thump in my tru' tru' tru'
It was a late night
No scrabble, game night
I'm a handful, ain't I
Ain't I, ain't I
Let me show you
Back seat, front door you
Pop the trunk
Shut your mouth and turn that shit up
We ride by like there's no one there
And they stop and stare, yeah they stop and stare
We ride by like nobody knows what's in my trunk
What's in my trunk
It's in my trunk
It's in my trunk
I got that thump in my trunk
It's in my tru'
I got that thump in my trunk
It's in my trunk
I got that thump in my tru' tru' tru'
It's in my trunk
It's in my trunk
I got that thump in my trunk
It's in my trunk
I got that thump in my trunk
It's in my tru'
I got that thump in my tru' tru' tru'
Ridin' in a saucy whip
Even if it's costly
I'm a be flossy
Maybelline shade glossy
Watch out I'm spending it
Got bitches on deck and they mexican
Another street, red line
Don't stop 'till they hit the bay side
We ride by like there's no one there
And they stop and stare, yeah they stop and stare
We ride by like nobody knows what's in my trunk
What's in my trunk
It's in my trunk
It's in my trunk
I got that thump in my trunk
It's in my tru'
I got that thump in my trunk
It's in my trunk
I got that thump in my tru' tru' tru'
Got the north, got the east, got the west with me
So I suggest you better not mess with me
Be cool, you don't wanna squat them
We could do the four but you don't want no problems
I put that on something, I put that on fathers
I put that on something, I put that on mommas
I put that on something, I put that on gransethers
You run up on me, get your man be up
It's in my trunk
It's in my trunk
I got that thump in my trunk
It's in my tru'
I got that thump in my trunk
It's in my trunk
I got that thump in my tru' tru' tru'
It's in my trunk
I got that thump in my trunk
It's in my tru'
I got that thump in my trunk
It's in my trunk
I got that thump in my tru' tru' tru'
It's in my trunk
It's in my trunk
I got that thump in my trunk
It's in my trunk
I got that thump in my trunk
It's in my tru'
I got that thump in my tru' tru' tru'
It was a late night
No scrabble, game night
I'm a handful, ain't I
Ain't I, ain't I
Let me show you
Back seat, front door you

Shut your mouth and turn that shit up
We ride by like there's no one there

We ride by like nobody knows what's in my trunk
What's in my trunk
It's in my trunk
It's in my trunk
I got that thump in my trunk
It's in my tru'
I got that thump in my trunk
It's in my trunk
I got that thump in my tru' tru' tru'
It's in my trunk
It's in my trunk
I got that thump in my trunk
It's in my trunk
I got that thump in my trunk
It's in my tru'
I got that thump in my tru' tru' tru'
Ridin' in a saucy whip

Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
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
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.
I'm glad I found the lyrics for this song. It's a great tune, I love Dev. However, until now, I though the words were: "I got the dumpits in my trunk".... which give a whole. new. meaning. LOL
