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.
(Sha-la-la, dooby wah, dum-dum-dum, yeh-yeh, um)
(Sha-la-la, dooby wah, dum-dum-dum, yeh-yeh)
Oh blue angel, don't you cry just because he said goodbye
Oh, ah-ah-ah, no don't cry
Oh, blue angel, have no fear brush away lonely teardrops
Hey hey, whoa-whoa, oh (yeah-yeah, dum, wah-wah-wah-wah)
Well, love's precious flame can just burn in vain
But you're not to blame
You thought love was a game, is it?
Oh, such a shame but don't you cry, don't sigh
I'll tell you why, I'll never say goodbye
Blue angel (sha-la-la, dooby wah, dum-dum-dum)
(Yeh-yeh, um, wah-wah-wah-wah)
We'll have loving so fine, magic moments divine
If you'll just say you're mine
I'll love you till the end of time
Don't you worry your pretty head
I'll never let you down
I'll always be around
Blue angel (sha-la-la, dooby wah, dum-dum-dum, yeh-yeh, um)
Blue angel (sha-la-la)
(Sha-la-la, dooby wah, dum-dum-dum, yeh-yeh)
Oh blue angel, don't you cry just because he said goodbye
Oh, ah-ah-ah, no don't cry
Oh, blue angel, have no fear brush away lonely teardrops
Hey hey, whoa-whoa, oh (yeah-yeah, dum, wah-wah-wah-wah)
Well, love's precious flame can just burn in vain
But you're not to blame
You thought love was a game, is it?
Oh, such a shame but don't you cry, don't sigh
I'll tell you why, I'll never say goodbye
Blue angel (sha-la-la, dooby wah, dum-dum-dum)
(Yeh-yeh, um, wah-wah-wah-wah)
We'll have loving so fine, magic moments divine
If you'll just say you're mine
I'll love you till the end of time
Don't you worry your pretty head
I'll never let you down
I'll always be around
Blue angel (sha-la-la, dooby wah, dum-dum-dum, yeh-yeh, um)
Blue angel (sha-la-la)

Holiday

@[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.
Punchline

Ed Sheeran
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.

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.
