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”
You're the kind of friend
Who always bends when I'm broken
Like, remember when
You took my heart and put it back together again
I've been wasting time with clueless guys
But now it's over
Let me tell you why I'm through
I've got someone new, he's just like you
You're it
You're the ultimate
It's automatic, I'm sure of it
No lie
So don't even try
To tell me that you're not the guy
'Cause I've been waiting all my life
For someone just like you
But you're it
You're the ultimate, you
You're the kind of guy whose hands in mine
Send shivers up and down my spine
You took my heart and put it back together again
You're the kind of guy that blows my mind
But now it's my turn
You've been right in front of me
Everything I need, why didn't I see?
You're it
You're the ultimate
It's automatic, I'm sure of it
No lie
So don't even try
To tell me that you're not the guy
'Cause I've been waiting all my life
For someone just like you
But you're it
You're the ultimate, you
You're it
You're the ultimate
It's automatic, I'm sure of it
No lie
So don't even try
To tell me that you're not the guy
You're it
You're the ultimate
It's automatic, I'm sure of it
No lie
So don't even try
To tell me that you're not the guy
'Cause I've been waiting all my life
For someone just like you
But you're it
You're the ultimate, you
You're it
You're the ultimate, you, yeah
Who always bends when I'm broken
Like, remember when
You took my heart and put it back together again
I've been wasting time with clueless guys
But now it's over
Let me tell you why I'm through
I've got someone new, he's just like you
You're it
You're the ultimate
It's automatic, I'm sure of it
No lie
So don't even try
To tell me that you're not the guy
'Cause I've been waiting all my life
For someone just like you
But you're it
You're the ultimate, you
You're the kind of guy whose hands in mine
Send shivers up and down my spine
You took my heart and put it back together again
You're the kind of guy that blows my mind

You've been right in front of me
Everything I need, why didn't I see?

@[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.

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

“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.
Everytime I'm blue I listen to this song I it reminds me of my best guy friend.
He's the one who can crack a smile in my face when I'm upset, the one who can make me feel like I'm me again after a long day, and the one who has always been there for me. He's the ULTIMATE.
But I don't see him in any other way, just like my best friend. Or the brother I never had.
He's just the best! Too much love for him.
