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”
Cause I watched
I've watched as dreams slowly waste away and die
You are a post mortem beauty queen
As razor blades cut me we suffer with every kiss
Thinking I'm dying, choking as I burn
As evil dies within me
Sewing me back together
Here again my heart is rusted through
Look as yourself lying on a picture of misconception
As we fall walking across the dead
This is a memory of rotting destiny
Our worst nightmare
Your throat will bleed your skin will burn
Your throat will bleed your skin will burn
I've watched your skin burn
Your warm hands touch my face
As I look into your eyes
Your dreams will slowly die
Can you hear my voice?
Your warm hands touch my face
I took into your eyes
Dreams will slowly die
Can you hear my voice?
Fuck you with all these lies
Break me with all your words
As I gasp for one last breath
The tears from the fallen angels
Will come to rise
Come to rise
Will come to rise
I've watched as dreams slowly waste away and die
You are a post mortem beauty queen
As razor blades cut me we suffer with every kiss
Thinking I'm dying, choking as I burn
You have become our worst nightmare
I've watched as dreams slowly waste away and die
You are a post mortem beauty queen
As razor blades cut me we suffer with every kiss
Thinking I'm dying, choking as I burn
As evil dies within me
Sewing me back together
Here again my heart is rusted through
Look as yourself lying on a picture of misconception
As we fall walking across the dead
This is a memory of rotting destiny
Our worst nightmare
Your throat will bleed your skin will burn
Your throat will bleed your skin will burn
I've watched your skin burn
Your warm hands touch my face
As I look into your eyes
Your dreams will slowly die
Can you hear my voice?
Your warm hands touch my face
I took into your eyes
Dreams will slowly die
Can you hear my voice?
Fuck you with all these lies
Break me with all your words
As I gasp for one last breath
The tears from the fallen angels
Will come to rise
Come to rise
Will come to rise
I've watched as dreams slowly waste away and die
You are a post mortem beauty queen
As razor blades cut me we suffer with every kiss
Thinking I'm dying, choking as I burn
You have become our worst nightmare

@[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.
Punchline

Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
