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 got a lot of respect
For the rich and the bored
I got a whole lot of respect
For the owners of the store
I got a lot of respect
For their daughters and their balls
So I just sit in my room
Stare at the wall
Waiting for imaginary telephones calls
You want some fun
So gimme all your money
I'm on the run
Come on and gimme some
Tell me a lie
But give me all your money
I'm on the run
Come on and gimme some
I got a lot of respect
You had my toenails plucked
I got a whole lot of respect
You had my eyeballs sucked
I got a lot of respect
For your supervision halls
So I just sit in my room
Stare at the wall
Waiting for imaginary telephones calls
You want some fun
So gimme all your money
I'm on the run
Come on and gimme some
Tell me a lie
But give me all your money
I'm on the run
Come on and gimme some
So now I'm in love
With your napalm whores
I'm in a whole lot of love
With your A-bomb whores
You want some fun
So gimme all your money
I'm on the run
Come on and gimme some
Tell me a lie
But give me all your money
I'm on the run
Come on and gimme some
For the rich and the bored
I got a whole lot of respect
For the owners of the store
I got a lot of respect
For their daughters and their balls
So I just sit in my room
Stare at the wall
Waiting for imaginary telephones calls
You want some fun
So gimme all your money
I'm on the run
Come on and gimme some
Tell me a lie
But give me all your money
I'm on the run
Come on and gimme some
I got a lot of respect
You had my toenails plucked
I got a whole lot of respect
You had my eyeballs sucked
I got a lot of respect
For your supervision halls
So I just sit in my room
Stare at the wall
Waiting for imaginary telephones calls
You want some fun
So gimme all your money
I'm on the run
Come on and gimme some
Tell me a lie
But give me all your money
I'm on the run
Come on and gimme some
So now I'm in love
With your napalm whores
I'm in a whole lot of love
With your A-bomb whores
You want some fun
So gimme all your money
I'm on the run
Come on and gimme some
Tell me a lie
But give me all your money
I'm on the run
Come on and gimme some

@[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.
Magical

Ed Sheeran
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.
