Page Lyrics
I'm a half-read story, I was fine on the shelf
Why did you take me down as if I needed your help?
No prior warning, no one to catch when I fell
Now that you're not around, I'm not doing so well
Do I look like a monster underneath all my skin?
I wanna cut all this open 'til I'm feeling something
Now I'm tracing the cracks, so I can let the light in
I'm in love with the ghost of you
Better luck next year, there's nothing left here
Why am I constantly searching, feeling unsettled?
Living in Hell, pretending it's Heaven
Head spin, maybe I'm destined to be
Always lonely, alone, a loser, pathetic
Maybe tomorrow will be better
But I'm stuck on the page
But I'm stuck on the page
But I'm stuck on the page
I'm a half-read story, better off in the fire
Now I feel like the fool, haunted by desire
For a moment of glory, I would risk all I am
I look at what we had and I don't understand
Do I look like a monster underneath all my skin?
I wanna cut all this open 'til I'm feeling something
Now I'm chasing the cracks 'til I can let the light in
I'm in love with the ghost of you
Better luck next year, there's nothing left here
Why am I constantly searching, feeling unsettled?
Living in Hell, pretending it's Heaven
Head spin, maybe I'm destined to be
Always lonely, alone, a loser, pathetic
Maybe tomorrow will be better
But I'm stuck on the page
But I'm stuck on the page
But I'm stuck on the page
But I'm stuck on the page
Why did you take me down as if I needed your help?
No prior warning, no one to catch when I fell
Now that you're not around, I'm not doing so well
I wanna cut all this open 'til I'm feeling something
Now I'm tracing the cracks, so I can let the light in
I'm in love with the ghost of you
Why am I constantly searching, feeling unsettled?
Living in Hell, pretending it's Heaven
Head spin, maybe I'm destined to be
Always lonely, alone, a loser, pathetic
Maybe tomorrow will be better
But I'm stuck on the page
But I'm stuck on the page
Now I feel like the fool, haunted by desire
For a moment of glory, I would risk all I am
I look at what we had and I don't understand
I wanna cut all this open 'til I'm feeling something
Now I'm chasing the cracks 'til I can let the light in
I'm in love with the ghost of you
Why am I constantly searching, feeling unsettled?
Living in Hell, pretending it's Heaven
Head spin, maybe I'm destined to be
Always lonely, alone, a loser, pathetic
Maybe tomorrow will be better
But I'm stuck on the page
But I'm stuck on the page
But I'm stuck on the page

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.
September 29 unfolded with the arrival of Ed Sheeran’s seventh studio album. The project comes only four months after his last project, but that’s not too much of a surprise if one takes a closer look at both projects. There are enough similarities that “Autumn Variations” feels like a continuation of “- (subtract).” The songs on both albums were recorded around the same time, with Aaron Dessner’s acoustic and string-heavy instrumental looming large over both projects. “Page” is the eighth track of fourteen off “Album Variations.”
Ed Sheeran proves himself to be a masterful songwriter yet again. “Page” is a really good song that ticks all the boxes. The lyrics are brilliant and the performance is emotionally engaging. This is one of my favourite songs on this album, and I’ll score it 9/10.
