This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
That was solid chemistry that was there with you and me
That was still a long time come
It's freaking me out, that I didn't see
You're so damn hot girl, it's crazy
And without a doubt I still can't believe
That you were right there in front of me
Never saw the chemistry that was there with you and me
It's been a long time coming
[Chorus]
Just waiting on an angel to take me out of my head
I'm falling for you
Just coming out of thin air
You came out of nowhere out of the blue
When heaven sent you
Night after night, when I didn't sleep
But that was before you lay beside me
When all of my demons were dancing with me
I'm glad you came down ?cause I was in too deep
Never saw the chemistry that was there with you and me
It's been a long time coming
[Chorus]
Yeah, yeah
[Chorus: x2]
Right out of the blue
When heaven sent you
Right out of the blue
When heaven sent yo
That was still a long time come
It's freaking me out, that I didn't see
You're so damn hot girl, it's crazy
And without a doubt I still can't believe
That you were right there in front of me
Never saw the chemistry that was there with you and me
It's been a long time coming
[Chorus]
Just waiting on an angel to take me out of my head
I'm falling for you
Just coming out of thin air
You came out of nowhere out of the blue
When heaven sent you
Night after night, when I didn't sleep
But that was before you lay beside me
When all of my demons were dancing with me
I'm glad you came down ?cause I was in too deep
Never saw the chemistry that was there with you and me
It's been a long time coming
[Chorus]
Yeah, yeah
[Chorus: x2]
Right out of the blue
When heaven sent you
Right out of the blue
When heaven sent yo

Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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”
Holiday

@[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.

Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
This is my current favorite. I love it. It's just amazing.
Amazing song! He is definately singing about a friend of his whom he never realized would ever be more then a friend. This girl surprised him and stole his heart.
My favorite off the new album whish is awesome! Go Hinder!
OMG! I love this song! Currently my fave off the new album, too. Such good instrumentals, vocals, and the backing vocals on the chorus are definitely what drew me in. I probably wouldn't like it so much without them, lol.
As stated above, the song is basically about a guy that may have had a friend for a long time and never thought of her as anything more. She could've been like his rock that he leaned on and the person he shared time and dreams with, but never did see that they were fitting together like two halves.
Eh, songs like these are the songs that get me to realize that, too. My best friend and me had known each other for years, took a trip, and then, as she was sleeping, Jesse McCartney came on and I argued with another girl to change it cause I don't like him. "Why Don't You Kiss Her?". I'll never forgot that moment, and I took Jesse's advice, lol. Maggie woke up a little confused, but she didn't complain. Best day of my life... that is, until I get married AND finish college. Ugh... life sure piles up after High School...
Sweet song from Hinder!
