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.
All the times I've tried
I know they don't erase
The things that brought me down
Caused you to hurt, caused you to hate
But now I've figured out
All that we won't do
So I can see that there's no doubt
When you say I know
you're not looking
I'm still watching you
Can we forget those times
Can we move on
please say that you
Can feel the same way that I do
Please say that I
Can be forgiven one last time
I'm lost without your sight
I can't think without your mind
There's comfort in the night
When I wake up by your side
I'm up here on my own
With nothing left to loose
I won't deny you anything
There's nothing I'll refuse
you're not looking
I'm still watching you
Can we forget those times
Can we move on
please say that you
Can feel the same way that I do
Please say that I
Can be forgiven one last time
can we move on
please say that you
Can feel the same way that I do
Please say that I
Can be forgiven one last time
please say that you
Can feel the same way that I do
Please say that I
Can be forgiven one last time
forgiven one last time
I know they don't erase
The things that brought me down
Caused you to hurt, caused you to hate
But now I've figured out
All that we won't do
So I can see that there's no doubt
When you say I know
you're not looking
I'm still watching you
Can we forget those times
Can we move on
please say that you
Can feel the same way that I do
Please say that I
Can be forgiven one last time
I'm lost without your sight
I can't think without your mind
There's comfort in the night
When I wake up by your side
I'm up here on my own
With nothing left to loose
I won't deny you anything
There's nothing I'll refuse
you're not looking
I'm still watching you
Can we forget those times
Can we move on
please say that you
Can feel the same way that I do
Please say that I
Can be forgiven one last time
can we move on
please say that you
Can feel the same way that I do
Please say that I
Can be forgiven one last time
please say that you
Can feel the same way that I do
Please say that I
Can be forgiven one last time
forgiven one last time

Little Feat
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”
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
Correction: The line at the end of the second verse is "I won't deny you anything, There's nothing I'll refuse". Sorry about that.
HEy can you mayb just correct it in the lyrics b/c i dont get what you mean lol thanks
I would do that, but I don't think I can. However, replace the line "and i won't deny you wearing, there's nothing i would do" with "I won't deny you anything, There's nothing I'll refuse". Those are the correct lyrics. I did this by ear, just because I wanted to get the song up. Also, this and "In The Songs" are my favorite ones on LWITBR.
smacks himself when he sees the submit corrections bar
Ok, I just submitted them.
This is such a great song. and p.s.- instead of talking about corrections, just make them and apologize for ay confusion. okie-dokie?
Anyways... this is an amazing song. It's sort of scary how i can relate almost every song off Living Well to my relationship right now. I think this song's about forgiveness. He want's to try just one last time to make things right forever.He's wishing that the girl would tell him that she still feels the same and feels the same as he does. He wants to move on with her and wants them to forget those bad times they had. Great new album by the way- buy it!
I love this song, I see a guy who makes the same mistake over and over, but never relizeing the anquish it causes his signifigant other, and when he finally dose he pleads for a last chance. P.S. They f***ing rock live i was 3 row center for them. Album is also amazeing, verry emo oriented theams of love and relationships.
midtown is awesome..
great song love emo relates to my life.
This song makes me wanna effin' cry! It's the story of my life...it reminds me of all the times that I've just hoped that that special person thinks I'm special as well but I just can't find the right words to tell him what I feel. Great song to express it :)
i love the lyrics to this song. it's one of my top 3 favorite midtown songs
