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.
I try to be all of the things you say I'm not
You never fail to remind me of what I haven't got
I get so tired of pleasin' you
You never give me a reason to
If you tell me you're leavin', you know what I'll say
Where would I be, how could I live?
Where would I go, and what would I give?
What can I say, how do I stand?
Where do I fall if there's no more lovin' you baby?
Sometimes it's harder stickin' around than seein' you go
And the way that you laugh about it is your way of lettin' me know
You couldn't care less if I was gone
Still I keep on hangin' on
'Cause if you tell me you're leavin', you know what I'll say
Where would I be, how could I live?
Where would I go, and what would I give?
What can I say, how do I stand?
Where do I fall if there's no more lovin' you baby?
You couldn't care less if I was gone
Still I keep on hangin' on
'Cause if you tell me you're leavin', you know what I'll say
Where would I be, how could I live?
Where would I go, and what would I give?
What can I say, how do I stand?
Where do I fall if there's no more lovin' you baby?
No more lovin' you baby
Where would I be, how could I live?
Where would I go, and what would I give?
What can I say, how do I stand?
Where do I fall if there's no more lovin' you baby?
How could I live?
Where would I go, and what would I give?
What can I say, how do I stand?
Where do I fall if there's no more lovin' you baby?
How could I live?
Where would I go, and what would I give?
What can I say, how do I stand?
Where do I fall if there's no more lovin' you baby?
How could I live?
Where would I go, and what would I give...
You never fail to remind me of what I haven't got
I get so tired of pleasin' you
You never give me a reason to
If you tell me you're leavin', you know what I'll say
Where would I be, how could I live?
Where would I go, and what would I give?
What can I say, how do I stand?
Where do I fall if there's no more lovin' you baby?
Sometimes it's harder stickin' around than seein' you go
And the way that you laugh about it is your way of lettin' me know
You couldn't care less if I was gone
Still I keep on hangin' on
'Cause if you tell me you're leavin', you know what I'll say
Where would I be, how could I live?
Where would I go, and what would I give?
What can I say, how do I stand?
Where do I fall if there's no more lovin' you baby?
You couldn't care less if I was gone
Still I keep on hangin' on
'Cause if you tell me you're leavin', you know what I'll say
Where would I be, how could I live?
Where would I go, and what would I give?
What can I say, how do I stand?
Where do I fall if there's no more lovin' you baby?
No more lovin' you baby
Where would I be, how could I live?
Where would I go, and what would I give?
What can I say, how do I stand?
Where do I fall if there's no more lovin' you baby?
How could I live?
Where would I go, and what would I give?
What can I say, how do I stand?
Where do I fall if there's no more lovin' you baby?
How could I live?
Where would I go, and what would I give?
What can I say, how do I stand?
Where do I fall if there's no more lovin' you baby?
How could I live?
Where would I go, and what would I give...

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
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.
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.
