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.
Sex on the side of the road
Can’t stop till we both get caught
Oh we may it’s so risque
Whoa-oh
You place your hand on my thigh as we drive
The speedometer says that we’re slowing down and I ask you why
Hit the brakes hear the sound the gravel makes
Both our eyes brighten up as we anticipate
No, it’s not that comfortable but it still feels great
Whoa-oh
Sex on the side of the road (won’t stop)
Can’t stop till we both get caught
We may, it’s so risque
Whoa-oh
As we climb into the back
You're all up on me faster than a heart attack
Throw caution out the window, I can't relax, no no no.
You on top as I enjoy the ride
Both drowning out the sounds of cars rushing by
Roll my eyes into my head as you unclench those things
Whoa-oh
And as this feeling begins to build
We’re both saying that ‘I love you and I always will’
And as your climax hits you grab that window sill
Sex on the side of the road (won’t stop)
Can’t stop till we both get caught
We may, it’s so risque
Whoa-oh
Let's make it quick (this will be quick)
We get a little more turned on as we up the risk and say
Let's make it quick (it will be quick)
We get a little more turned on as we up the risk and say
Sex on the side of the road
Can’t stop till we both get caught
Oh we may it’s so risque
Whoa-oh
Sex on the side of the road (won’t stop)
Can’t stop till we both get caught
We may, it’s so risque
Whoa-oh
Sex on the side of the road
Can't stop, won't stop, 'til we both get caught
Whoa-oh.
Can’t stop till we both get caught
Oh we may it’s so risque
Whoa-oh
You place your hand on my thigh as we drive
The speedometer says that we’re slowing down and I ask you why
Hit the brakes hear the sound the gravel makes
Both our eyes brighten up as we anticipate
No, it’s not that comfortable but it still feels great
Whoa-oh
Sex on the side of the road (won’t stop)
Can’t stop till we both get caught
We may, it’s so risque
Whoa-oh
As we climb into the back
You're all up on me faster than a heart attack
Throw caution out the window, I can't relax, no no no.
You on top as I enjoy the ride
Both drowning out the sounds of cars rushing by
Roll my eyes into my head as you unclench those things
Whoa-oh
And as this feeling begins to build
We’re both saying that ‘I love you and I always will’
And as your climax hits you grab that window sill
Sex on the side of the road (won’t stop)
Can’t stop till we both get caught
We may, it’s so risque
Whoa-oh
Let's make it quick (this will be quick)
We get a little more turned on as we up the risk and say
Let's make it quick (it will be quick)
We get a little more turned on as we up the risk and say
Sex on the side of the road
Can’t stop till we both get caught
Oh we may it’s so risque
Whoa-oh
Sex on the side of the road (won’t stop)
Can’t stop till we both get caught
We may, it’s so risque
Whoa-oh
Sex on the side of the road
Can't stop, won't stop, 'til we both get caught
Whoa-oh.

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.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
