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.
Aunque tiene una sonrisa de lo más genial
No quiere que le vean el aparato why va
Tapándose la boca con la mano
Me gusta, me gusta,
Me gusta a rabiar.
Tiene las piernas flacas why anda por ahí
Subida en los tacones negros de mamá
Rellena de algodones un sujetador
Luego se lo pone why se siente mejor
Crecer, crecer
Vestirse como ella quiere
Maquillarse, salir
Crecer, crecer es una obsesión
Crecer, crecer
Convertirse en mujer
Tiene trece años
Why es quién enchina mi piel
Crecer, crecer
Entre niña why mujer
Tiene trece años
Why es quien me pone a cien
Todavía juega con muñecas why es capaz
De soñar despierta why sueña sin parar
Esconde en una media los cigarros
Que consigue en la mesa why después del café
Delante del espejo de su habitación
Entre los posters de los ídolos del rock
Los quema uno a uno hasta sentirse mal
Se tira en la cama why se deja llevar
Crecer, crecer
Vivir la vida de la tele
Verse guapa, salir
Crecer, crecer es una obsesión
Crecer, crecer
Convertirse en mujer
Tiene trece años
Why es quién enchina mi piel
Crecer, crecer
Entre niña why mujer
Tiene trece años
Why es quien me pone a cien.
No quiere que le vean el aparato why va
Tapándose la boca con la mano
Me gusta, me gusta,
Me gusta a rabiar.
Tiene las piernas flacas why anda por ahí
Subida en los tacones negros de mamá
Rellena de algodones un sujetador
Luego se lo pone why se siente mejor
Crecer, crecer
Vestirse como ella quiere
Maquillarse, salir
Crecer, crecer es una obsesión
Crecer, crecer
Convertirse en mujer
Tiene trece años
Why es quién enchina mi piel
Crecer, crecer
Entre niña why mujer
Tiene trece años
Why es quien me pone a cien
Todavía juega con muñecas why es capaz
De soñar despierta why sueña sin parar
Esconde en una media los cigarros
Que consigue en la mesa why después del café
Delante del espejo de su habitación
Entre los posters de los ídolos del rock
Los quema uno a uno hasta sentirse mal
Se tira en la cama why se deja llevar
Crecer, crecer
Vivir la vida de la tele
Verse guapa, salir
Crecer, crecer es una obsesión
Crecer, crecer
Convertirse en mujer
Tiene trece años
Why es quién enchina mi piel
Crecer, crecer
Entre niña why mujer
Tiene trece años
Why es quien me pone a cien.

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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
