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”
brit was right when she said we should worry the
boys outside ran in a hurry
mom held tight to the ground
it was made of grass
then the house burnt down so fast
school at night led to hands filled of blurry the
games of pride were storm-like in their
fury i had made light of being picked last
as the house burnt down so fast
and as you pry
i thought that i forgotten
as you pry
i thought that i forgotten
graced all the papers
story of the neighbors
the house burnt down so fast
late to wake and office
explaining to the bosses
the house burnt down the past
to keep the peace and fix the place
you stayed in hotels
to keep a piece and stay safe
i went to victoria
well you stayed in hotels
you stayed in hotels
why i ran away ill never know
why i ran away ill never know
why i ran away ill never know
never ever know
never ever know
boys outside ran in a hurry
mom held tight to the ground
it was made of grass
then the house burnt down so fast
school at night led to hands filled of blurry the
games of pride were storm-like in their
fury i had made light of being picked last
as the house burnt down so fast
and as you pry
i thought that i forgotten
as you pry
i thought that i forgotten
graced all the papers
story of the neighbors
the house burnt down so fast
late to wake and office
explaining to the bosses
the house burnt down the past
to keep the peace and fix the place
you stayed in hotels
to keep a piece and stay safe
i went to victoria
well you stayed in hotels
you stayed in hotels
why i ran away ill never know
why i ran away ill never know
why i ran away ill never know
never ever know
never ever know

@[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.

Head > Heels

Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
I read in an interview with either Marc or Genevieve that this song was a dream that she had about her parents divorce and the subsequent break-up of her family. Makes sense. It makes some of the lines terribly sad.
i think it's actually "heads filled with blurry".
The acoustic version with a string section on the Bonus Tracks of Ordinary Riches is AGH AMAZING.
I am so in love with this song today lol :)
I was at a bar where they were playing and she talked a little about the meaning of this song beforehand.
When Genevieve was young her house burned down and ever since that day she's felt her concept of 'home' changed. The song is about how home can mean wherever you are at the time.
