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.
So you're lying in your underwear
Oh, in someone else's bed
And the silence is so dangerous
It's a terrible sense of dread
So I have another cigarette
And I just try to forget
How did I end up all alone?
How did we all end up dead?
Sunday morning when the rain begins to fall
I believe I've seen the end of it all
Sunday morning when the rain begins to fall
I've got the cure for it all
And my dirty little secret
Has a wretched little name
In the filthy morning after
I have walked the walk of shame
Oh, and you'll be the end of me
As I have been the death of you
And I quite enjoy your suffering
Oh, I want to watch the view
Sunday morning when the rain begins to fall
I believe I've seen the end of it all
Sunday morning when the rain begins to fall
I've got the cure for it all
Are you there when I'm ready to top myself
Are you there when I'm all alone
Do you even know why I am suffering
Are you down to your bones?
Are you down to your bones?
Are you down to your bones?
Sunday morning when the rain begins to fall
I believe I've seen the end of it all
Sunday morning when the rain begins to fall
It's the end of the world
I never said I would try for you
I never said I would die for you
I never said I would try for you
I never said I would die for you
Oh, in someone else's bed
And the silence is so dangerous
It's a terrible sense of dread
So I have another cigarette
And I just try to forget
How did I end up all alone?
How did we all end up dead?
Sunday morning when the rain begins to fall
I believe I've seen the end of it all
Sunday morning when the rain begins to fall
I've got the cure for it all
And my dirty little secret
Has a wretched little name
In the filthy morning after
I have walked the walk of shame
Oh, and you'll be the end of me
As I have been the death of you
And I quite enjoy your suffering
Oh, I want to watch the view
Sunday morning when the rain begins to fall
I believe I've seen the end of it all
Sunday morning when the rain begins to fall
I've got the cure for it all
Are you there when I'm ready to top myself
Are you there when I'm all alone
Do you even know why I am suffering
Are you down to your bones?
Are you down to your bones?
Are you down to your bones?
Sunday morning when the rain begins to fall
I believe I've seen the end of it all
Sunday morning when the rain begins to fall
It's the end of the world
I never said I would try for you
I never said I would die for you
I never said I would try for you
I never said I would die for you

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
“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 think she's trying to evaluate why she's in love with someone when he's cheating on her. The person barely knows her: "Do you even know why I am suffering?"
