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 can't believe this moment's come
It's so incredible that we're alone
There's so much to be said and done
It's impossible not to be overcome
(will you forgive me if i feel this way)
Will you forgive me if I feel this way
Cuz we've just met - tell me that's OK
(so take this feeling'n make it grow)
So take this feeling'n make it grow
(never let it go)
Never let it - never let it go
(Don't let go of the things you believe in)
You give me something that I can believe in
( No, Don't let go of this moment in time)
Go of this moment in time
(Don't let go of things that you're feeling)
I can't explain the things that I'm feeling
(No,Don't let go )
No, I won't let go
Now would you mind if I bared my soul
(bared my soul to you)
If I came right out and said you're beautiful
Cuz there's something here I can't explain
(diving into rain)
I feel I'm diving into driving rain
You get my senses running wild
I can 't resist your sweet, sweet smile
(so take this feeling make it grow)
So take this feeling 'n make it grow
(never let it go)
Never let it - never let it go
(Don't let go of the things you believe in)
You give me something that I can believe in
( No, Don't let go of this moment in time)
Go of this moment in time
(Don't let go of things that you're feeling)
I can't explain the things that I'm feeling
(No,Don't let go )
No, I won't let go
I've been waiting all my life
To make this moment feel so right
The feel of you just fills the night
So c'mon -just hold on tight
(Don't let go of the things you believe in)
You give me something that I can believe in
( No, Don't let go of this moment in time)
Go of this moment in time
(Don't let go of things that you're feeling)
I can't explain the things that I'm feeling
(No,Don't let go )
No, I won't let go
It's so incredible that we're alone
There's so much to be said and done
It's impossible not to be overcome
(will you forgive me if i feel this way)
Will you forgive me if I feel this way
Cuz we've just met - tell me that's OK
(so take this feeling'n make it grow)
So take this feeling'n make it grow
(never let it go)
Never let it - never let it go
(Don't let go of the things you believe in)
You give me something that I can believe in
( No, Don't let go of this moment in time)
Go of this moment in time
(Don't let go of things that you're feeling)
I can't explain the things that I'm feeling
(No,Don't let go )
No, I won't let go
Now would you mind if I bared my soul
(bared my soul to you)
If I came right out and said you're beautiful
Cuz there's something here I can't explain
(diving into rain)
I feel I'm diving into driving rain
You get my senses running wild
I can 't resist your sweet, sweet smile
(so take this feeling make it grow)
So take this feeling 'n make it grow
(never let it go)
Never let it - never let it go

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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.
i love this song too... i think its about 2 people meeting for the first time, but knowing that there is something more than friendship
