This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Promise not to say
That you told me so
Promise not to say
That I'm getting too old
Promise not to take
Never take your phone
I mean take their word
You mean over yours?
What I need to know, will you
Be there, Be there, Be there
Be there, Be there, Be there
Where the sun shines
I will be there
You are the light
That follows you everywhere
And look for my love
Where the sun shines
I will be there
Will you
Promise not to judge
To judge who you love
I don't know if I
Yes, make that Promise
Whatever it is
Can you hear the truth
If they accuse me
You think I'll doubt you?
What I need to know, will you
Be there, Be there, Be there
Be there, Be there, Be there
Where the sun shines
I will be there
You are the light
That follows you everywhere
And look for my love
Where the sun shines
I will be there
Will you
Be there, Be there, Be there
Be there, Be there, Be there
When I am all alone
You're not alone
When I am broken down
We all break down
When every door is closed
There is one more
Will you look for me?
I will rescue you
Where the sun shines
I will be there
You are the light
That follows you everywhere
And look for my love
Where the sun shines
Where the sun shines
I will be there
I will be there
I will be there
Be there, Be there, Be there
That you told me so
Promise not to say
That I'm getting too old
Promise not to take
Never take your phone
I mean take their word
You mean over yours?
What I need to know, will you
Be there, Be there, Be there
Be there, Be there, Be there
Where the sun shines
I will be there
You are the light
That follows you everywhere
And look for my love
Where the sun shines
I will be there
Will you
Promise not to judge
To judge who you love
I don't know if I
Yes, make that Promise
Whatever it is
Can you hear the truth
If they accuse me
You think I'll doubt you?
What I need to know, will you
Be there, Be there, Be there
Be there, Be there, Be there
Where the sun shines
I will be there
You are the light
That follows you everywhere
And look for my love
Where the sun shines
I will be there
Will you
Be there, Be there, Be there
Be there, Be there, Be there
When I am all alone
You're not alone
When I am broken down
We all break down
When every door is closed
There is one more
Will you look for me?
I will rescue you
Where the sun shines
I will be there
You are the light
That follows you everywhere
And look for my love
Where the sun shines
Where the sun shines
I will be there
I will be there
I will be there
Be there, Be there, Be there

@[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.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
This is one of my favorite songs on Tori's most recent album, because it shows both sides of the mother-daughter relationship. I love the underlying statements in the song that both of them are afraid that they will be judged too harshly and abandoned by the other and that both of them offer something salvific or restorative for the other. It's a nice reminder to be more gracious in the way we look at each other whether we're mothers or daughters or both.
The second verse especially speaks to me and my experience of coming out to my mom within the past year.
