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.
What we need is urgency
I know you'll all agree
We need love and honesty
To help in times like these
Our young facing tragedies
In ways you can't believe
Finally can we see
We must demand integrity
Now there will always be problems
And I know (it's the way it is)
And you know (just the way it is)
Just need love to solve them
Right away, I need love right away
Right away, right away
Need love, right away, right away
Said we need you
Right away, right away
Need love, right away, right away
Said we need you
Say we need love
Fancy free, liberty
Has it caused values to leave
I live for me, you live for you
They say do what you want to do
Now there will always be problems
And I know (it's the way it is)
And you know (just the way it is)
Just need love to solve them
Right away
Right away, right away
Need love, right away, right away
Said we need you
Right away, right away
Need love, right away, right away
Said we need you
Say we need you
We need love, we need love
Come on we need you
Love is just the answer
Cause love carries no strife
Now's the time to give love
Learn to love each other
Right now and the rest of our life
See there will always be problems
And I know (it's the way it is)
And you know (just the way it is)
Just need love to solve them
Right away
Right away, right away
Need love, right away, right away
Said if we're gonna make it
Right away, right away
Said if we're gonna make it
Need love, right away, right away
Right away, right away
Let's say it, we need love
Right away, right away
Right away, right away
If we're gonna change the world
Right away, right away
I know you'll all agree
We need love and honesty
To help in times like these
Our young facing tragedies
In ways you can't believe
Finally can we see
We must demand integrity
Now there will always be problems
And I know (it's the way it is)
And you know (just the way it is)
Just need love to solve them
Right away, I need love right away
Right away, right away
Need love, right away, right away
Said we need you
Right away, right away
Need love, right away, right away
Said we need you
Say we need love
Fancy free, liberty
Has it caused values to leave
I live for me, you live for you
They say do what you want to do
Now there will always be problems
And I know (it's the way it is)
And you know (just the way it is)
Just need love to solve them
Right away
Right away, right away
Need love, right away, right away
Said we need you
Right away, right away
Need love, right away, right away
Said we need you
Say we need you
We need love, we need love
Come on we need you
Love is just the answer
Cause love carries no strife
Now's the time to give love
Learn to love each other
Right now and the rest of our life
See there will always be problems
And I know (it's the way it is)
And you know (just the way it is)
Just need love to solve them
Right away
Right away, right away
Need love, right away, right away
Said if we're gonna make it
Right away, right away
Said if we're gonna make it
Need love, right away, right away
Right away, right away
Let's say it, we need love
Right away, right away
Right away, right away
If we're gonna change the world
Right away, right away

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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.
