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.
Out, of the ordinary
Fairy tale, without the fairy
A family that seems a little scary
Winter, without the storming
Crucial, just not necessary
So strange, extra-ordinary
A world with perfect people.
No, you wont find me
Anywhere but here
The way you see me
Is pretty far from clear
A little different, not everyday
You cant judge me, it don’t work that way
So what, so what, if I’m growing up creepie?
Candy store, without the candy
Private school, where’s the learning?
Subtle but I got the feeling
A wedding without the dancing
A rock show without the yelling
So look now, the bugs are turning
A world with perfect people
No, you wont find me
Anywhere but here
The way you see me
Is pretty far from clear
A little different, not everyday
You cant judge me, it don’t work that way
So what, so what, if I’m growing up creepie?
Growing up creepie, growing up creepie how about you?
Growing up creepie, growing up creepie how about you?
Growing up creepie, growing up creepie how about you?
Growing up creepie, growing up creepie how about you?
Fairy tale, without the fairy
A family that seems a little scary
Winter, without the storming
Crucial, just not necessary
So strange, extra-ordinary
A world with perfect people.
No, you wont find me
Anywhere but here
The way you see me
Is pretty far from clear
A little different, not everyday
You cant judge me, it don’t work that way
So what, so what, if I’m growing up creepie?
Candy store, without the candy
Private school, where’s the learning?
Subtle but I got the feeling
A wedding without the dancing
A rock show without the yelling
So look now, the bugs are turning
A world with perfect people
No, you wont find me
Anywhere but here
The way you see me
Is pretty far from clear
A little different, not everyday
You cant judge me, it don’t work that way
So what, so what, if I’m growing up creepie?
Growing up creepie, growing up creepie how about you?
Growing up creepie, growing up creepie how about you?
Growing up creepie, growing up creepie how about you?
Growing up creepie, growing up creepie how about you?

@[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
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.
I have been thinking about these lyrics trying to get them right... Then i gave up and looked them up
