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.
You said your arms are empty
And your eyes full of tears
Haven't had no lovin'
For so many years
Don't blame it on me
I'm not guilty can't you see
Don't blame it on me
I'm the same as I used to be
I try to tell ya baby
Such a long time ago
I would be your lover
If you just tell me so
Don't blame it on me
I'm not guilty can't you see
Don't blame it on me
I'm the same as I used to be
Every day is Sunday
When it come to lovin' you
I'll always love you
No matter what you do
Don't blame it on me
I'm not guilty can't you see
Don't blame it on me
I'm the same as I used to be
Every day is Sunday
When it come to lovin' you
I'll always love you
No matter what you do
Don't blame it on me
I'm not guilty can't you see
Don't blame it on me
I'm the same as I used to be
You said your arms are empty
And your eyes full of tears
You haven't had no lovin'
For so many years
Don't blame it on me
I'm not guilty can't you see
Don't blame it on me
I'm the same as I used to be
And your eyes full of tears
Haven't had no lovin'
For so many years
Don't blame it on me
I'm not guilty can't you see
Don't blame it on me
I'm the same as I used to be
I try to tell ya baby
Such a long time ago
I would be your lover
If you just tell me so
Don't blame it on me
I'm not guilty can't you see
Don't blame it on me
I'm the same as I used to be
Every day is Sunday
When it come to lovin' you
I'll always love you
No matter what you do
Don't blame it on me
I'm not guilty can't you see
Don't blame it on me
I'm the same as I used to be
Every day is Sunday
When it come to lovin' you
I'll always love you
No matter what you do
Don't blame it on me
I'm not guilty can't you see
Don't blame it on me
I'm the same as I used to be
You said your arms are empty
And your eyes full of tears
You haven't had no lovin'
For so many years
Don't blame it on me
I'm not guilty can't you see
Don't blame it on me
I'm the same as I used to be

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
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.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
