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.
And you stand here
Into your house
And none of us knows how to write
The magic of the crashing stars
Of love
And you're bleeding
And all the shy lights in the cracks
In all the walls are close enough
To make me wonder
How it's like when you are here
But you're not here
Oh, there's no way to hide yourself
'Cause I will find you anywhere
Find you anywhere
And when your body is around
Mine is going: "Dodododo
dodododo,"
And all the phone calls
And the nights not sleeping
Sleeping, sleeping tight
Makes me wonder
How it's like when I'm with you
And I want you
And all the flowers I won't plant
And all the colors in my hand
Makes me ask
That makes me want to ask you
How it'll be
If you want me
Do you want me?
Oh, there's no way to hide yourself
'Cause I will find you anywhere
Find you anywhere
And when your body is around
Mine's going: "Dodododo
dodododo,"
I want you
I want you
I want you, I want you
Do you want me?
I want you
Do you want me?
I want you
Yeah!
Into your house
And none of us knows how to write
The magic of the crashing stars
Of love
And you're bleeding
And all the shy lights in the cracks
In all the walls are close enough
To make me wonder
How it's like when you are here
But you're not here
Oh, there's no way to hide yourself
'Cause I will find you anywhere
Find you anywhere
And when your body is around
Mine is going: "Dodododo
dodododo,"
And all the phone calls
And the nights not sleeping
Sleeping, sleeping tight
Makes me wonder
How it's like when I'm with you
And I want you
And all the flowers I won't plant
And all the colors in my hand
Makes me ask
That makes me want to ask you
How it'll be
If you want me
Do you want me?
Oh, there's no way to hide yourself
'Cause I will find you anywhere
Find you anywhere
And when your body is around
Mine's going: "Dodododo
dodododo,"
I want you
I want you
I want you, I want you
Do you want me?
I want you
Do you want me?
I want you
Yeah!

@[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.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

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.
first of all, i fucking love this song for me, it's about missing someone
