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.

[Verse 1: Mackin]
I'm walking in, where do I begin?
Go and get a drink, look I'm pulling
Got the combover, like I'm in Geordie Shore
I'm getting mortal, I want you to know
Project 722 yeah look, yeah that's my favorite store
I'm on the dancefloor looking for a worldie (whoa whoa)
If she's nice, I'll buy her a double vodka and coke
Then we can blow like jagerbombs
Say something, whoa whoa
[Hook: Anna Hughes]
I want you to know you're the one that I love
And baby you are the one that was sent from above
And when I look to the sky, boy I know that you're mine
And we will be together till the end of time
Oh baby me and you will be forever as one
And I know that we will never become undone (yes)
And when we are together, you're the one that I treasure
And I want you to know that you're my number one (its Compound)
[Verse 2: Compound]
Are you ready? Uh, yeah, yeah, you're my number one
A smile so bright so I guess that I'm done
When the stars pass by I can remember the night
When I first saw you, I needed the green light
To be with you, we fought so damn hard
Now I'm here always, I'll never let you go
When I look in your eyes, I can see the glow
Not even your clone would even be the damn same
She couldn't ignite the exact same flame
They can scream Compound, they can turn around
The only love I need is yours inbound
I promise to hold you tight every day
And I couldn't let go cause my sky would turn grey
But this ain't no ordinary love
I promise you, you're my number one, yeah
[Hook: Anna Hughes]
I want you to know you're the one that I love
And baby you are the one that was sent from above
And when I look to the sky, boy I know that you're mine
And we will be together till the end of time
Oh baby me and you will be forever as one
And I know that we will never become undone
And when we are together, you're the one that I treasure
And I want you to know that you're my number one
[Verse 3: The SilverBack]
I've never loved anyone the way I love you
I love each and every little thing about you
From your beautiful smile to the way that you care
To whenever I need ya, you're always there
You're the fire in my heart that burns like a sun
You're my motivation, the only one
To give me words that say when I speak
To give me strength whenever I feel weak
I'm grateful for all the things that you do
That's one reason I fell in love with you
You're so kind to me I could never replace ya
You're in my heart now I could never erase this
There's only one girl like you in the world
That's why I'm glad to call you my girl
But life wouldn't be the same if you were gone
You know in my heart that you'll be my number one
[Hook: Anna Hughes]
I want you to know you're the one that I love
And baby you are the one that was sent from above
And when I look to the sky, boy I know that you're mine
And we will be together till the end of time
Oh baby me and you will be forever as one
And I know that we will never become undone
And when we are together, you're the one that I treasure
And I want you to know that you're my number one

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

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”

@[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.
