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.
As I fall to sleep
Will you comfort me?
When my heart is weak
Will you rescue me?
Will you be there
As I grow cold?
Will you be there when I'm falling down?
Will you be there?
When I'm in retreat
Can I run to you?
Will my pain release
At your mercy seat?
(Aaah)
Will you be there
As I grow cold?
Will you be there when I'm falling down?
Will you be there
My heart grows cold?
Will you be there when I'm falling down?
Are you saying so?
Oh, I gotta believe it
Are you saying yeah?
When your love comes down I can rest my eyes
Feel your grace and power flood into my life
As my brokenness and your strength collide
When your love comes down
Falling Down
As I fall to sleep
As I fall to sleep
Will you be there when I'm falling down?
Will you be there?
My heart grows cold
Will you be there when I'm falling down?
Will you be there
As I grow cold?
Will you be there when I'm falling down?
Will you be there?
My heart grows cold
Will you be there when I'm falling down?
As I grow cold
Will you be there?
My heart grows cold
Will you be there when I'm falling down?
Will you be there
As I grow cold?
Will you be there when I'm falling down?
Will you be there?
My heart grows cold
Will you be there when I'm falling down?
Will you comfort me?
When my heart is weak
Will you rescue me?
Will you be there
As I grow cold?
Will you be there when I'm falling down?
Will you be there?
When I'm in retreat
Can I run to you?
Will my pain release
At your mercy seat?
(Aaah)
Will you be there
As I grow cold?
Will you be there when I'm falling down?
Will you be there
My heart grows cold?
Will you be there when I'm falling down?
Are you saying so?
Oh, I gotta believe it
Are you saying yeah?
When your love comes down I can rest my eyes
Feel your grace and power flood into my life
As my brokenness and your strength collide
When your love comes down
Falling Down
As I fall to sleep
As I fall to sleep
Will you be there when I'm falling down?
Will you be there?
My heart grows cold
Will you be there when I'm falling down?
Will you be there
As I grow cold?
Will you be there when I'm falling down?
Will you be there?
My heart grows cold
Will you be there when I'm falling down?
As I grow cold
Will you be there?
My heart grows cold
Will you be there when I'm falling down?
Will you be there
As I grow cold?
Will you be there when I'm falling down?
Will you be there?
My heart grows cold
Will you be there when I'm falling down?

@[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” 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.

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.
I can't believe no one has commented, this is a beautiful song that shows that God will always be there for us no matter what happens
