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”
Jack Daniel's in one hand
A basic light in the other
My two bestfriends for so long
That I can't even remember
Blood of christ is dripping in
To the eyes of the world again
On a horse it seems headless
No telling where we're going
Maybe you could turn it around
You say "Shut up you're crazy,
We can't go back in time"
I know, but the rain it haunts my mind
If you knew what it meant to keep your heart the same
I swear to god you tried hard not to change
Filling station 2 am
Filling out a postcard again
Laughing and remembering
What you say, you're lucky you're still breathing
Hell I'm ready for what waits
Return my body to the leaves
With your ghost singing me to sleep
I can hear the melody sing
Maybe you can still it around
You say "Shut up you're crazy,
You can't go back in time"
I know but the rain it haunts my mind
If you knew what it meant to keep your heart the same
I swear to god you tried not to change
And even on your leaving...
All I need had gone
A basic light in the other
My two bestfriends for so long
That I can't even remember
Blood of christ is dripping in
To the eyes of the world again
On a horse it seems headless
No telling where we're going
Maybe you could turn it around
You say "Shut up you're crazy,
We can't go back in time"
I know, but the rain it haunts my mind
If you knew what it meant to keep your heart the same
I swear to god you tried hard not to change
Filling station 2 am
Filling out a postcard again
Laughing and remembering
What you say, you're lucky you're still breathing
Hell I'm ready for what waits
Return my body to the leaves
With your ghost singing me to sleep
I can hear the melody sing
Maybe you can still it around
You say "Shut up you're crazy,
You can't go back in time"
I know but the rain it haunts my mind
If you knew what it meant to keep your heart the same
I swear to god you tried not to change
And even on your leaving...
All I need had gone

@[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.
Magical

Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
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.

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.
*i swear to god you'd try harder not to change.
I can't believe there are hardly any comments on this song. I personally think it's amazing.
I see it that he is reminiscing about the good times with his best friends, before all the fame. Rocky sort of came out of nowhere, and at this time this album was released, he was more well-known. Perhaps he’s admitting that he’s changed. The postcards represent trying to keep in touch with his friends. That’s the vibe I get.
Or it could be about his wife. Since he's always on the road. And she could always be alone as she is taking care of their son.
"If you knew what it meant to keep your heart the same I swear to god you tried not to change"
simple, i think a girl left she tried to forget she loved him and while jack and ciggs keep him sane.
