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.
Yeah, you know I love having a studio at home
Because right when I walk in the booth
You know I, I take a sip of my drink
You know like, light a cigarette and walk up to the mic
And it's exactly the correct height for me
It definitely just makes me feel comfortable
You know, let's your mind be at ease
And I, noticed that, that uh, sometimes I rap with my rollie on
And sometimes I take it off
You ain't gotta worry if you're cold
Promise baby, I'll be there by tomorrow
If you love me then I'll be down for it all
'Cause I ain't seen nobody like you
You look so good, when you walk by
I had to stop, you blew my high
A real angel bringing back to earth
Hi, I'm sitting in the clouds
Everything around seems different to me now
And this could be a change for the both of us
Get away from the world that's controlling us
It's only just me, I hope you trust me
You look a little nervous, keep adjusting
Your blouse that you got on
The buttons come undone
Let me know if you need me to put a fan on
I stand on the floor 'bout to collapse
The bliss turns to war, heart turns to ash
Fun turns to drugs, the ideas to cash
Has taking away my mind
And I, think that its' a sign that
Your beauty handed me my mind back
My conscious will attempt to dissolve
I do some shit I won't remember at all
You ain't gotta worry if you're cold
Promise baby, I'll be there by tomorrow
If you love me then I'll be down for it all
'Cause I ain't seen nobody like you
You look so good, when you walk by
I had to stop, you blew my high
A real angel bringing back to earth
My eyes is open, but I'm barely afraid
They say my codeine purple
And your beauty is- aye
That view taking me away
I'm smoking on that good Cali
I'm getting higher than Hollywood
Get deeper than the valley
As you get lower, the low rider
Your favorite ghost writer
We jumping the gun, I might go over be young
Much is a one way ticket
Don't know when you will return
I need to roll me a blunt
'Cause you done blew this joint
They say the stars all line up
Then they bring out the sun
Hey this a red carpet event
I'm a bring out that one, she so sophisticated
I brought her presidential rollies
I'm no longer faded, she got me sober off of conversation
I'm no longer faded, she got me sober off of conversation
You ain't gotta worry if you're cold
Promise baby, I'll be there by tomorrow
From the beginning I'll be down for it all
'Cause I ain't seen nobody like you
You look so good, when you walk by
I had to stop, you blew my high
A real angel bringing back to earth
Because right when I walk in the booth
You know I, I take a sip of my drink
You know like, light a cigarette and walk up to the mic
And it's exactly the correct height for me
It definitely just makes me feel comfortable
You know, let's your mind be at ease
And I, noticed that, that uh, sometimes I rap with my rollie on
And sometimes I take it off
You ain't gotta worry if you're cold
Promise baby, I'll be there by tomorrow
If you love me then I'll be down for it all
'Cause I ain't seen nobody like you
You look so good, when you walk by
I had to stop, you blew my high

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
Holiday

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
Punchline

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.
Page

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.
