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.
Well it's another fine day of the nation building
Well let's have a parade
You can dance on the graves and the bones of the children
If you know what to say
And you know its begun from the beat of the drum
And the screams from the mouths of babes
And we pray as were watching the charade
Welcome to your wedding day
And it's a damn good day
For the heart and the mind
And the party is happening here
If you'll advert your gaze form the word on the sign
Let me wispier it in your ear
'Cause the sign says run
'Cause the sign says run
'Cause the sign says run
'Cause the sign says run
'Cause the sign says run
And you know its begun from the crack of the guns
And the screams from the mouths of babes
And we pray as we're watching the charade
Welcome to your wedding day
Welcome to your wedding
And we want peace
Yea we want peace
And we don't negotiate with terror
[Repeat x6]
We don't negotiate with terror
We only make or break
And we know its begun from the crack of the guns
And the screams form the mouths of babes
And we pray as we're watching the charade
Welcome to your wedding day
Welcome to your wedding
Well let's have a parade
You can dance on the graves and the bones of the children
If you know what to say
And you know its begun from the beat of the drum
And the screams from the mouths of babes
And we pray as were watching the charade
Welcome to your wedding day
And it's a damn good day
For the heart and the mind
And the party is happening here
If you'll advert your gaze form the word on the sign
Let me wispier it in your ear
'Cause the sign says run
'Cause the sign says run
'Cause the sign says run
'Cause the sign says run
'Cause the sign says run
And you know its begun from the crack of the guns
And the screams from the mouths of babes
And we pray as we're watching the charade
Welcome to your wedding day
Welcome to your wedding
And we want peace
Yea we want peace
And we don't negotiate with terror
[Repeat x6]
We don't negotiate with terror
We only make or break
And we know its begun from the crack of the guns
And the screams form the mouths of babes
And we pray as we're watching the charade
Welcome to your wedding day
Welcome to your wedding

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”

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.
