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.
One o one point one fahrenheit
To some it's a fever to her it's just right
I can't hold her and it's bringing me down
Her blood runs hot but her heart beats cold
She's a Devil with a Angels face I've been told
I think I'll press my luck next time around
I'd walk through fire for you
I'd burn in hell to make it all true
I never loved anyone else in this world but you
Is that the reason why I try to prove to you I'm not the other guy?
I Don't give a damn what other people say!
A flare for the strange and a temper like a whip
A soft-hand clutched riding crop grip
Smell of latex rubber drives me insane
Beat Him once then send him on his way
There's no room in your life for anyone to stay
Engrave your moniker in the wells of pain!
There's nothing I wouldn't do to prove
To make these words I promised true
I'd rather live my life alone than without you
You know I'd rather die, then won't fuck this up
Wouldn't get another try
Got one chance
There's nothing I wouldn't do
You'll be my master I'll be your servant
On my knees I beg to be abused
You can take the skin right off my back
With a riding crop or a leather strap
I'd take it all... Just to be with you!
I'd walk through fire for you
I'd burn in hell to make it all true
I never loved anyone else in this world but you
Is that the reason why I try to prove to you I'm not the other guy
Your my Goddess and I'm wanting you
To some it's a fever to her it's just right
I can't hold her and it's bringing me down
Her blood runs hot but her heart beats cold
She's a Devil with a Angels face I've been told
I think I'll press my luck next time around
I'd walk through fire for you
I'd burn in hell to make it all true
I never loved anyone else in this world but you
Is that the reason why I try to prove to you I'm not the other guy?
I Don't give a damn what other people say!
A flare for the strange and a temper like a whip
A soft-hand clutched riding crop grip
Smell of latex rubber drives me insane
Beat Him once then send him on his way
There's no room in your life for anyone to stay
Engrave your moniker in the wells of pain!
There's nothing I wouldn't do to prove
To make these words I promised true
I'd rather live my life alone than without you
You know I'd rather die, then won't fuck this up
Wouldn't get another try
Got one chance
There's nothing I wouldn't do
You'll be my master I'll be your servant
On my knees I beg to be abused
You can take the skin right off my back
With a riding crop or a leather strap
I'd take it all... Just to be with you!
I'd walk through fire for you
I'd burn in hell to make it all true
I never loved anyone else in this world but you
Is that the reason why I try to prove to you I'm not the other guy
Your my Goddess and I'm wanting you

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.
This is my favorite song of all time... If I ever feel shitty and there is no leah to talk to, i just sit down and listen to this on repeat for hours and hours. Absolutely amazing.
