Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
My room is tound when I lay dowm when I wake up it's sqare
When I go outside it's on a spiral set of stairs
The people that souround me are waiting out there
In a round room they can't find me anywhere
Right angle rooms drive me craizer each day
Put me in a box I know I'm never going to play
Put me in a square room and I won't know what to say
I want a round room at the end of the day
I had an apartment, four corners on the walls
couldn't eat, couldn't sleep there at all
I want a curve to the place where I stay
I want a round room at the end of the day
If I pass out take me to the round church
where echoes resound
and my spirit is found
and when I float high
Take my armand I'll fly by you
The outskirts of town, to a garden that's round
I went to the lighthouse and I likes the veiw
I looked out the window and I could see you
Put me in a sqare house and I won't have a clue
I want a round room just to be with you
When I go outside it's on a spiral set of stairs
The people that souround me are waiting out there
In a round room they can't find me anywhere
Right angle rooms drive me craizer each day
Put me in a box I know I'm never going to play
Put me in a square room and I won't know what to say
I want a round room at the end of the day
I had an apartment, four corners on the walls
couldn't eat, couldn't sleep there at all
I want a curve to the place where I stay
I want a round room at the end of the day
If I pass out take me to the round church
where echoes resound
and my spirit is found
and when I float high
Take my armand I'll fly by you
The outskirts of town, to a garden that's round
I went to the lighthouse and I likes the veiw
I looked out the window and I could see you
Put me in a sqare house and I won't have a clue
I want a round room just to be with you

@[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.
Gentle Hour

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

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.
American Town

Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
After more thought i think it could be the square room is a live venue, and the round room is a cd. I dont know if he is refering to himself, or putting shit on another person or band that cant play live, but a lot of his songs (if not all) can be linked somehow to this topic Maybe a recording is a more personal experience?
"The people that souround me are waiting out there In a round room they can't find me anywhere "
It just has to be that.
"Put me in a square room and I won't know what to say I want a round room at the end of the day"
"Right angle rooms drive me craizer each day Put me in a box I know I'm never going to play "
Could be chess?
