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.
Sweet little Sheila, you'll know her if you see her Blue eyes and a ponytail Her cheeks are rosy, she looks a little nosey Man, this little girl is fine Never knew a girl like-a little Sheila Her name drives me insane Sweet little girl, that's my little Sheila Man, this little girl is fine Me and Sheila go for a ride Oh-oh-oh-oh, I feel all funny inside Then little Sheila whispers in my ear Oh-oh-oh-oh, I love you Sheila dear Sheila said she loved me, she said she'd never leave me True love will never die We're so doggone happy just bein' around together Man, this little girl is fine Never knew a girl like-a little Sheila Her name drives me insane Sweet little girl, that's my little Sheila Man, this little girl is fine Me and Sheila go for a ride Oh-oh-oh-oh, I feel all funny inside Then little Sheila whispers in my ear Oh-oh-oh-oh, I love you Sheila dear Sheila said she loved me, she said she'd never leave me True love will never die We're so doggone happy just bein' around together Man, this little girl is fine Oh, this little girl is fine Yeah, this little girl is fine Oh, this little girl is fine

“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

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.
