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”

Never went to college
Cept the parties I was playin' for, the Sigma Kappa ladies on Friday nights
So I spent a lot of weekends
With some future doctor's girlfriend
And I learned there's people who don't like
People like me
People like me
Don't get the big promotions, no
Cause we seem to like the gene that puts the filter in between, our brain and mouth
We don't smile and say yes
When everybody knows its BS
And I've learned there's people who don't like
People like me
People like me
Livin' hard
Lovin' fast
Check a cheque
Milk and gas in the truck
Head to town a little luck
Lost and found
Time to waste
It's Sammy's place they all say hey!
Come on in and grab a seat
It sure feels good to be
With people like me
People like me
Been told we need to grow up
They say there's more to life than cars, pretty women and guitars
I say like what
I love God and country
I'll do what they ask of me
But I know there's people who don't like
People like me
Livin' hard
Lovin' fast
Check a cheque
Milk and gas in the truck
Head to town a little luck

It's Sammy's place they all say hey!
Come on in and grab a seat
It sure feels good to be
With people like me
People like me
Crankin' up
Kickin' back
Dirty joke
Make me laugh
Buyin' suds for my friends
And the girls that just walked in
Jukebox plays
What's your name we all say hey!
Come on in and grab a seat
It sure feels good to be
With people like me

@[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.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Magical

Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
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.
