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.
At a glance I'd never notice
Could every strand has come undone
And when it comes down
To what I know now, I can see just what's killing me
You can't let go of anyone
Keeping secrets and telling lies is all you've done
You can't let go of what went wrong
If keeping secrets and telling lies is all you want
Just let me go
Wash my hands off your inventions
Cleaning up the mess you've made
The web of lies you've spun, it's strangled everyone but me
'Cause now I'm breaking free
You can't let go of anyone
Keeping secrets and telling lies is all you've done
You can't let go of what went wrong
If keeping secrets and telling lies is all you want
Just let me go
I like to think that from the start
It was you that takes my head apart
You should take what you can get, yeah
Just take what you can get, yeah
I like to think that from the start
It was you that takes my head apart
You should take what you can get, yeah
Just take what you can get, yeah
Can't you let go of everyone?
All the secrets and all the lies have gone too far
Now, I let go of everyone
Keeping secrets and telling lies has gone too far
Just let me go
I like to think that from the start
It was you that takes my head apart
(Just let me go)
You should take what you can get, yeah
Just take what you can get, yeah
(Just let me go)
I like to think that from the start
It was you that takes my head apart
(Just let me go)
You should take what you can get, yeah
Just take what you can get, yeah
(Just let it go)
Could every strand has come undone
And when it comes down
To what I know now, I can see just what's killing me
You can't let go of anyone
Keeping secrets and telling lies is all you've done
You can't let go of what went wrong
If keeping secrets and telling lies is all you want
Just let me go
Wash my hands off your inventions
Cleaning up the mess you've made
The web of lies you've spun, it's strangled everyone but me
'Cause now I'm breaking free
You can't let go of anyone
Keeping secrets and telling lies is all you've done
You can't let go of what went wrong
If keeping secrets and telling lies is all you want
Just let me go
I like to think that from the start
It was you that takes my head apart
You should take what you can get, yeah
Just take what you can get, yeah
I like to think that from the start
It was you that takes my head apart
You should take what you can get, yeah
Just take what you can get, yeah
Can't you let go of everyone?
All the secrets and all the lies have gone too far
Now, I let go of everyone
Keeping secrets and telling lies has gone too far
Just let me go
I like to think that from the start
It was you that takes my head apart
(Just let me go)
You should take what you can get, yeah
Just take what you can get, yeah
(Just let me go)
I like to think that from the start
It was you that takes my head apart
(Just let me go)
You should take what you can get, yeah
Just take what you can get, yeah
(Just let it go)

@[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.

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.
How come no one's commented on this yet? This song is so...ahh!! :]
