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'll beat me? Bring it on, bring it on
You're gonna save the day? Bring it on, bring it on
You ready? Bring it on
I'll show you another thing or two
You may think you're clever but you're not
You better get the coffins out
Trust me kid that's where you're sleeping tonight
There's no guarantee we'll get out alive
Stop your whining, let's get busy
Baby it's time to lock and load
Stop your whining, let's get busy
Welcome to the show
It's a story that you've heard a thousand times
So take a seat and get lost with me
This tale will never stop being told
Welcome to the show
It's a chance to save the world or lose the girl
Let's save the world
Heroes will save the day
You may think you've won
But I promise you it's not over
You may think you've won
But I promise you it's not over
This could be our last chance to finally rise up
So here we stand and here we will fight
None of us shall run from anyone
The storms are gathering
There's no guarantee we'll get out of alive
Stop your whining, let's get busy
We have to rise above and fight
We'll be heroes
Welcome to the show
It's a story that you've heard a thousand times
So take a seat and get lost with me
This tale will never stop being told
Welcome to the show
It's a chance to save the world or lose the girl
Let's save the world
Heroes will save the day
This is the part where you are supposed to scream
This is the part where you are supposed to scream
This is the part where you are supposed to scream
When you scream we'll be heroes
Welcome to the show
It's a story that you've heard a thousand times
So take a seat and get lost with me
This tale will never stop being told
Welcome to the show
It's a chance to save the world or lose the girl
Let's save the world
Heroes will always save the day
Let's save the world
Heroes will save the day
Let's save the world
Heroes will always save the day
You're gonna save the day? Bring it on, bring it on
You ready? Bring it on
I'll show you another thing or two
You may think you're clever but you're not
You better get the coffins out
Trust me kid that's where you're sleeping tonight
There's no guarantee we'll get out alive
Stop your whining, let's get busy
Baby it's time to lock and load
Stop your whining, let's get busy
Welcome to the show
It's a story that you've heard a thousand times
So take a seat and get lost with me
This tale will never stop being told
Welcome to the show
It's a chance to save the world or lose the girl
Let's save the world
Heroes will save the day
You may think you've won
But I promise you it's not over
You may think you've won
But I promise you it's not over
This could be our last chance to finally rise up
So here we stand and here we will fight
None of us shall run from anyone
The storms are gathering
There's no guarantee we'll get out of alive
Stop your whining, let's get busy
We have to rise above and fight
We'll be heroes
Welcome to the show
It's a story that you've heard a thousand times

Let's save the world
Heroes will always save the day

@[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.
Blue

Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
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.
Maybe other people criticizing the band. Like their genre and what not
