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.
You could've been the real one
You could've been the one enough for me
You could've been the free one, the broken down and sick one
Had enough of vacant life
You come around when you find me faithless
You come around when you find me faceless!
Fuck me like you hate me [dig it up and tear it down]
Dig it up and hold me out
Fuck me like you hate me [dig it up, tear it down]
I love the sound when you come undone
You could've been the next one [god only knows]
You could've been the one to comprehend me
You could've been the only one, the broken down and sick one
You could've been the one who I lie with
You come around when you finally face this
You come around when you find me faceless!
Fuck me like you hate me [dig it up and tear it down]
Dig it up and hold me out
Fuck me like you hate me [dig it up, tear it down]
Don't make a sound till I come undone
You'll never break me
You'll never break me
You'll never break me
You could've been the real one
You could've been the last one I lie with
You could've been the owned one
I should've been the one who died
You come around when you finally face this
You come around when you find me faceless!
Fuck me like you hate me [dig it up and tear it down]
Dig it up and hold me out
Fuck me like you hate me [dig it up, tear it down]
I love the sound when you come undone
Fuck me like you hate me [fuck me like you hate me]
Fuck me like you hate me [you'll never break me]
Fuck me like you hate me [dig it up, tear it down]
You'll come around when you find me faceless
You could've been the one enough for me
You could've been the free one, the broken down and sick one
Had enough of vacant life
You come around when you find me faithless
You come around when you find me faceless!
Fuck me like you hate me [dig it up and tear it down]
Dig it up and hold me out
Fuck me like you hate me [dig it up, tear it down]
I love the sound when you come undone
You could've been the next one [god only knows]
You could've been the one to comprehend me
You could've been the only one, the broken down and sick one
You could've been the one who I lie with
You come around when you finally face this
You come around when you find me faceless!
Fuck me like you hate me [dig it up and tear it down]
Dig it up and hold me out
Fuck me like you hate me [dig it up, tear it down]
Don't make a sound till I come undone
You'll never break me
You'll never break me
You'll never break me
You could've been the real one
You could've been the last one I lie with
You could've been the owned one
I should've been the one who died
You come around when you finally face this
You come around when you find me faceless!
Fuck me like you hate me [dig it up and tear it down]
Dig it up and hold me out
Fuck me like you hate me [dig it up, tear it down]
I love the sound when you come undone
Fuck me like you hate me [fuck me like you hate me]
Fuck me like you hate me [you'll never break me]
Fuck me like you hate me [dig it up, tear it down]
You'll come around when you find me faceless

@[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.
Just a thought ^^ Maybe its about breakup sex xD
