He's singing to his own vocal chords: "Yes I know that someday we must go..." "Stay with meeeeeee...."
It's not entirely implausible. Once I found out that "Go" was actually about a pickup truck – and he was able to sing it with that much passion – I figure nothing is off the table with this guy.

I think it's a great "song," but it's just a crappy production on the album, and modern day Ed tends to overdo the delivery so as to make it sound quite treacly. I used to just flat out hate it, but once I heard Willie Nelson's version, it occurred to me that the composition is actually really nice.
