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.
I say, hey, Jimmy Necco
I like the way your name echoes
You are so fine
I say, hey, Jimmy Necco
Do you want to help me let go
Of my dark mind?
If you want it, it’s yours
It’s free, but of course
You’re my sunshine
I say, J, you’re the boss
Without you I’m lost
You’re my sunshine
I say, hey, Jimmy Necco
You are on another level
You’re so fine
I say, hey Jimmy, let’s go
I’ve been in love since I met you
You are all mine
If you want it, it’s yours
It’s free, but of course
Take a high
I say, Jay, you’re the boss
Without you I’m lost
You’re my sunshine
Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, take me to the park
Buy me a hot dog, kiss me in the dark
Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, take me to the park
Buy me cotton candy, kiss me in the dark
I say hey, Jimmy Necco
Hey, I like your heavy metal
Do you like mine?
I say, hey, Jimmy Necco
You were smashing from the get go
This is your time
If you want it, it’s yours
It’s free, but of course
Take a high
I say, Jay, you’re the boss
Without you I’m lost
You’re my sunshine
Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, take me to the park
Buy pink cotton candy, kiss me in the dark
Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, take me to the park
Buy me something pretty, kiss me in the dark
Jimmy Necco, Jimmy Necco, Jimmy Necco
You are so fine
I like the way your name echoes
You are so fine
I say, hey, Jimmy Necco
Do you want to help me let go
Of my dark mind?
If you want it, it’s yours
It’s free, but of course
You’re my sunshine
I say, J, you’re the boss
Without you I’m lost
You’re my sunshine
I say, hey, Jimmy Necco
You are on another level
You’re so fine
I say, hey Jimmy, let’s go
I’ve been in love since I met you
You are all mine
If you want it, it’s yours
It’s free, but of course
Take a high
I say, Jay, you’re the boss
Without you I’m lost
You’re my sunshine
Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, take me to the park
Buy me a hot dog, kiss me in the dark
Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, take me to the park
Buy me cotton candy, kiss me in the dark
I say hey, Jimmy Necco
Hey, I like your heavy metal
Do you like mine?
I say, hey, Jimmy Necco
You were smashing from the get go
This is your time
If you want it, it’s yours
It’s free, but of course
Take a high
I say, Jay, you’re the boss
Without you I’m lost
You’re my sunshine
Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, take me to the park
Buy pink cotton candy, kiss me in the dark
Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, take me to the park
Buy me something pretty, kiss me in the dark
Jimmy Necco, Jimmy Necco, Jimmy Necco
You are so fine

Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Page
Ed Sheeran
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.
Usually this song is seen as "Jimmy Necco," but is based after Lana's real-life (ex) boyfriend, "Jimmy Gnecco."
