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.
Well I got your late night call
You're in the center of it all
You're having a ball
And you're really doing fine
A west coast time
And I believe you
But here's one for the coast
And the people with the most
The pretty pretty folks
The west coast folks
And here we go again Its never gonna end
We're all so sick of California Songs
Yeah, We know you love L.A.
There's nothing left to say
Please no more California Songs
And Fuck New York too
Yeah your heaven is a lie
Just more shit that I don't buy
And they're heading for the coast
They're moving out in droves
Sending back reports on the radio
With the messages the same
It's gettin' pretty lame
California dreaming's on the radio
And here we go again It's never gonna end
We're all so sick of California Songs
Yeah, We know you love L.A.
But there's nothing left to say
Please no more California Songs
And Fuck New York too
You're in the center of it all
You're having a ball
And you're really doing fine
A west coast time
And I believe you
But here's one for the coast
And the people with the most
The pretty pretty folks
The west coast folks
And here we go again Its never gonna end
We're all so sick of California Songs
Yeah, We know you love L.A.
There's nothing left to say
Please no more California Songs
And Fuck New York too
Yeah your heaven is a lie
Just more shit that I don't buy
And they're heading for the coast
They're moving out in droves
Sending back reports on the radio
With the messages the same
It's gettin' pretty lame
California dreaming's on the radio
And here we go again It's never gonna end
We're all so sick of California Songs
Yeah, We know you love L.A.
But there's nothing left to say
Please no more California Songs
And Fuck New York too

Holiday

@[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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

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.
i say this is a battle cry for the entire contry beside cali and new york. its kind of like a punk song by a band i forget the name of about england songs
