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.
Words so thick I can taste the flavor
Fortune made of stone in a world I'm expected to swim
Sweet sour vortex deadly weather
Standing on the ledge feet together Jump
I hit the ground
I'm leaning on the brutal truth
Calling out my name
Sleeping on a broken dream
Calling out my name
It's calling out my name Hey Oo Oo
Dead is the road shall the gun be loaded
Now all I need is a substance to abuse
I hit the ground
I'm leaning on the brutal truth
Calling out my name
Sleeping on a broken dream
Calling out my name
It's calling out my name Hey Oo Oo
I say goodbye
Bet no one will answer to my cry
Hey I wave goodbye
Bet no one will answer to my cry
I'm leaning on the brutal truth
Calling out my name
Sleeping on a broken dream
Calling out my...
I'm leaning on the brutal truth
Calling out my name
Sleeping on a broken dream
Calling out my...
Calling out my...
Calling out my name
Fortune made of stone in a world I'm expected to swim
Sweet sour vortex deadly weather
Standing on the ledge feet together Jump
I hit the ground
I'm leaning on the brutal truth
Calling out my name
Sleeping on a broken dream
Calling out my name
It's calling out my name Hey Oo Oo
Dead is the road shall the gun be loaded
Now all I need is a substance to abuse
I hit the ground
I'm leaning on the brutal truth
Calling out my name
Sleeping on a broken dream
Calling out my name
It's calling out my name Hey Oo Oo
I say goodbye
Bet no one will answer to my cry
Hey I wave goodbye
Bet no one will answer to my cry
I'm leaning on the brutal truth
Calling out my name
Sleeping on a broken dream
Calling out my...
I'm leaning on the brutal truth
Calling out my name
Sleeping on a broken dream
Calling out my...
Calling out my...
Calling out my name

Ed Sheeran
“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.

Ed Sheeran
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.
