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”
Why do I keep my mind on you all the time?
And I don't even know you (I don't know you)
Why do I feel this way thinking about you every day?
And I don't even know you (I don't know you)
Take me in your arms
Thrill me with all of your charms
And I'll take to the sky on a natural high (I wanna take to the sky)
Loving you more 'til the day I die (oh, natural high)
Take to the sky on a natural high (I want you to be mine)
Loving you more
If you have anything to do, call me and I will do it for you
And I don't even know you (I don't know you)
(Hey, genie)
If I only had one wish to give
That wish would be for you to live forever and ever (I don't know you)
When I see you on the street
My heart skips a beat
And I'll take to the sky on a natural high (I'll just take to the sky)
Loving you more 'til the day I die (oh, natural high)
Take to the sky on a natural high (loving you more)
Loving you more
I'm gonna try to do all the things you want me to
If you just give me a chance (I don't know you)
I'm trying to make something out of nothing
And I don't even know you (I don't know you)
Take me in your arms
Thrill me with all of your charms
And I'll take to the sky on a natural high
Loving you more 'til the day I die
Take to the sky on a natural high
Loving you more
I'll take to the sky on a natural high
Loving you more 'til the day I die
Take to the sky on a natural high
Loving, loving you
Take to the sky on a natural high
Loving you more
And I don't even know you (I don't know you)
Why do I feel this way thinking about you every day?
And I don't even know you (I don't know you)
Take me in your arms
Thrill me with all of your charms
And I'll take to the sky on a natural high (I wanna take to the sky)
Loving you more 'til the day I die (oh, natural high)
Take to the sky on a natural high (I want you to be mine)
Loving you more
If you have anything to do, call me and I will do it for you
And I don't even know you (I don't know you)
(Hey, genie)
If I only had one wish to give
That wish would be for you to live forever and ever (I don't know you)
When I see you on the street
My heart skips a beat
And I'll take to the sky on a natural high (I'll just take to the sky)
Loving you more 'til the day I die (oh, natural high)
Take to the sky on a natural high (loving you more)
Loving you more
I'm gonna try to do all the things you want me to
If you just give me a chance (I don't know you)
I'm trying to make something out of nothing
And I don't even know you (I don't know you)
Take me in your arms
Thrill me with all of your charms
And I'll take to the sky on a natural high
Loving you more 'til the day I die
Take to the sky on a natural high
Loving you more
I'll take to the sky on a natural high
Loving you more 'til the day I die
Take to the sky on a natural high
Loving, loving you
Take to the sky on a natural high
Loving you more

@[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.
Gentle Hour

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
this man charles mccormick did not write this song. My mom wrote this it was a poem she wrote to some kind of teen magazine for a poem contest. years later she hears it on the radio she was 13 when she wrote it. Shame on these people in the music industry to take advantage of other peoples work especially young teenagers. I wish i can say who this poem was for. But if ever goea to court the truth will come out who my mom wrote this for.
