Imagination, that's the way that it seems
Man can't only live in his dreams
Oh, it seems so hard.
If I'd lived a thousand times before
And if I'm gonna live anymore
Always brings me down
Everyone wants to live forever
Thinking that it'd be a lot better
Everyone wants to live for ever, whoa
The feeling in my head starts heading south
It seems it stops the fever from shootin' out of my mouth
Life gushing all around
Everyone wants to live forever
Thinking that it'd be a lot better
Everyone wants to live forever, whoa
Everyone wants to live forever
But no one ever gets it together
And, everyone wants to live forever
whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Man can't only live in his dreams
Oh, it seems so hard.
If I'd lived a thousand times before
And if I'm gonna live anymore
Always brings me down
Everyone wants to live forever
Thinking that it'd be a lot better
Everyone wants to live for ever, whoa
The feeling in my head starts heading south
It seems it stops the fever from shootin' out of my mouth
Life gushing all around
Everyone wants to live forever
Thinking that it'd be a lot better
Everyone wants to live forever, whoa
Everyone wants to live forever
But no one ever gets it together
And, everyone wants to live forever
whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

@[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,
Head > Heels

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
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.
Excellent song, one of the greatest bands around, pretty easy meaning as you said.
