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.
Oh
Hey, girl, help me know
What is it that really does it for you?
Is it about the things that money buys
Or a man that loves you?
Cause I'm just lookin' at how good you look
And right away I wanna
So how do you want it?
Cause I can do it fast or slow
Either at the crib or at the mall
Now, I can keep you up all night
Or we could make it quick but do it just right
So, girl, come with me
We can have a good time
Take a load off ya mind
Dance with me
Baby, you never know
You and I could be something, girl
I can be anything that you want
I could fuck it or love it
So, what's it gonna be?
Bet I could make you happy
Now, I don't know what you
Expect from a man these days
But, girl, I just know that
Whatever it is, I got you
Listen, baby
You won't ever have to wonder
Any time you want it, here's my number
Call me up when you need someone to play with
Or be serious with you
Cause we could fuck around
And give it to you, and turn you out
Or I could just come and hold you
And be the perfect gentleman
Whatever you want
[Chorus]
Girl, come with me
We can have a good time
Take a load off ya mind
Dance with me
Baby, you never know
You and I could be something, girl
I can be anything that you want
I could fuck it or love it
So, what's it gonna be?
Bet I could make you happy
If you tell me what you like
I can give it to you right
Either way, it's hard to say to me
Just don't be playin' no games with me
I only got one night in town, baby
So, I suggest you let me know if you down, baby
Tell your girlfriends that you gon' see them later
Tell your boyfriends, 'don't be a hater.'
[Chorus:Repeat x2]
Hey, girl, help me know

Holiday
Bee Gees
Bee Gees
@[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.
Magical

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.
