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.
Sinking into the stars
Diving in for a swim
Soaring like a superhero
Past the end of Disneyland
Through dragon mist
Above alpine peaks
To the cloudy lace
To the highest trails above
I feel so safe
I feel content
Send you all my love
Southern winds, shining rays
Are all I need for fight
Flying way past zero
Paradise is just in sight
Through the distant blue
Above the highest stars
To the silent dark
Send you all my love
I feel so safe
Flying an a ray
On the highest trails above
Sinking into the stars
Diving in for a swim
Soaring like a superhero
Past the edge of Disneyland
Every wish comes true
Most desired dreams
Happy endings too
Finally you find love
I feel so safe
Flying an a ray
On the highest trails above
Diving in for a swim
Soaring like a superhero
Past the end of Disneyland
Through dragon mist
Above alpine peaks
To the cloudy lace
To the highest trails above
I feel so safe
I feel content
Send you all my love
Southern winds, shining rays
Are all I need for fight
Flying way past zero
Paradise is just in sight
Through the distant blue
Above the highest stars
To the silent dark
Send you all my love
I feel so safe
Flying an a ray
On the highest trails above
Sinking into the stars
Diving in for a swim
Soaring like a superhero
Past the edge of Disneyland
Every wish comes true
Most desired dreams
Happy endings too
Finally you find love
I feel so safe
Flying an a ray
On the highest trails above

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.
well...see, part of me thinks what .brick. thinks. and yet, punkpirate makes a good explaination. maybe a mixture of both? thats what i think now, anyway.
