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.
Sure do like the way it's going down with you we could be
Together for years, and I'm ready to make that move cross
That line with we could put some joy in each other's tears.
L.o.v.e. don't sum it up for me it's much m.o.r.e. than any
World could mean.
Baby aah 'cause it's going down - make me sing lala when
You come around - make me say ooooh weee when you look at
Me - baby aah 'cause it's going down and I'm speechless.
Practicing all day what to say to you, but it never seems to
Come out right, just to know the feeling is so perfect for me and
You and I want to feel it for the rest of my life. l.o.v.e.
Don't sum it up for me it's much m.o.r.e. than any word
Coul d mean.
Baby aah 'cause it's going down - make me sing lala when
You come around - make me say ooooh weee when you look at
Me - baby aah 'cause it's going down and I'm speechless.
O it's fur sure, there is love then there is something more.
I'm hoping the music can express what I feel when you caress
Do you hear it when I scream your name when we're laying?
Sure do like the way it's going down with you we could be
Together for years
Together for years, and I'm ready to make that move cross
That line with we could put some joy in each other's tears.
L.o.v.e. don't sum it up for me it's much m.o.r.e. than any
World could mean.
Baby aah 'cause it's going down - make me sing lala when
You come around - make me say ooooh weee when you look at
Me - baby aah 'cause it's going down and I'm speechless.
Practicing all day what to say to you, but it never seems to
Come out right, just to know the feeling is so perfect for me and
You and I want to feel it for the rest of my life. l.o.v.e.
Don't sum it up for me it's much m.o.r.e. than any word
Coul d mean.
Baby aah 'cause it's going down - make me sing lala when
You come around - make me say ooooh weee when you look at
Me - baby aah 'cause it's going down and I'm speechless.
O it's fur sure, there is love then there is something more.
I'm hoping the music can express what I feel when you caress
Do you hear it when I scream your name when we're laying?
Sure do like the way it's going down with you we could be
Together for years

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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
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.
