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.
I cry myself to sleep at night
Cause I miss you, need you
But can't have you.
I need a cure
Something to make me numb
But there's nothing
Your the only one.
Teardrops cloud my vision
Thoughts of you bombard my mind
How much longer can we take this?
Sometimes never
Other's Forever Just for the end result.
I need a cure
Something to make me numb
But there's nothing
Your the only one.
Everything reminds me of you
Reminds me your not here
when I need you most.
Feeling empty is driving me insane
I think of what we're missing
And the pain is hard to bare.
Still seems like a lifetime to wait
An eternity niether of us can take
I need a cure
Something to make me numb
But there's nothing
Your the only one.
You're always in my heart even if you aren't here
Guess i'll have to wait and let go of my fears.
If you need me you know i'm right here
Always and Forever....
Cause I miss you, need you
But can't have you.
I need a cure
Something to make me numb
But there's nothing
Your the only one.
Teardrops cloud my vision
Thoughts of you bombard my mind
How much longer can we take this?
Sometimes never
Other's Forever Just for the end result.
I need a cure
Something to make me numb
But there's nothing
Your the only one.
Everything reminds me of you
Reminds me your not here
when I need you most.
Feeling empty is driving me insane
I think of what we're missing
And the pain is hard to bare.
Still seems like a lifetime to wait
An eternity niether of us can take
I need a cure
Something to make me numb
But there's nothing
Your the only one.
You're always in my heart even if you aren't here
Guess i'll have to wait and let go of my fears.
If you need me you know i'm right here
Always and Forever....

@[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.

Page

Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
