@[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.
Where are you going
Can I follow
Because distance is hard to swallow
You should stay a while
Let's have a drink
Let's have a laugh
You feel power
And no worries
If that's so
Then what's your hurry
If you've got to go
There's just one thing I've got to ask
If I promise an ocean
Would you care for the notion of
Staying here and resting your weary head
It's all that she said
Well the sky's changed
That's for certain
You smile says
What you working
Time heals all
This we know
We'll work it out
And if I promise an ocean
Would you care for the notion of
Staying here and resting your weary head
And would you come back and see me, or
Angel am I dreaming because
Heaven knows that I'll miss you so
And that's a fact
Look now where I'm at
I miss you so
Look now where I'm at
I can't let go
There's more questions
Than there's answers
I'm not taking any chances
Because I need to let you know
Just how I feel
And if I promise an ocean
Would you care for the notion of
Staying here and resting your weary head
And would you come back and see me, or
Angel am I dreaming because
Heaven knows that I'll miss you so
And that's a fact
Look now where I'm at
I miss you so
Look now where I'm at
I miss you so
Look now where I'm at
I miss you so
I can't let go
I miss you so
Can I follow
Because distance is hard to swallow
You should stay a while
Let's have a drink
Let's have a laugh
You feel power
And no worries
If that's so
Then what's your hurry
If you've got to go
There's just one thing I've got to ask
If I promise an ocean
Would you care for the notion of
Staying here and resting your weary head
It's all that she said
Well the sky's changed
That's for certain

I can't let go
I miss you so

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
Wow, can't belive no ones commented on this one yet. They were in town last week, (wpg) and Jeff did an amazing acoustic version of this one live on the air. Its just a very beautiful song, nothing too complicated, great melody as usual, this song just reminds me of a special person in my life whom i miss day in and day out and can never seem to let go of. They wrote this song as a tribute to an old friend....Just a kewl tune many of us can relate to im sure.
It was a tribute to their late manager, Steve Hoffman, who died of lung cancer in 2003.<br /> <br /> It is such a beautiful song, which most will probably interpret as lost love, but knowing<br /> it was written for a passing of a friend makes it so much more poignant. <br /> <br /> For me, when I hear it, it always makes me think of a friend I lost recently.
beautiful! if only promising an ocean was possible... i absolutely love this song!
It was written for Steve Hoffman. He had been their manager, but died of lung cancer in 2003.
