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 found a rope and a rubber glove
You found some pretty stones and they had holes so you could tie them together
Tie them together
Tie them together
And when we spoke there was silence
'cause there's no need to make a sound when you've got
Smiles instead
Smiles instead
Smiles instead
Go to dungeness
Let's go to dungeness
Let's go to dungeness
Let's go to dungeness
No tall latte in a rusty shed
Just shots of light and broken bike to stimulate your busy head
In dungeness
In dungeness
Try dungeness
You found some pretty stones and they had holes so you could tie them together
Tie them together
Tie them together
And when we spoke there was silence
'cause there's no need to make a sound when you've got
Smiles instead
Smiles instead
Smiles instead
Go to dungeness
Let's go to dungeness
Let's go to dungeness
Let's go to dungeness
No tall latte in a rusty shed
Just shots of light and broken bike to stimulate your busy head
In dungeness
In dungeness
Try dungeness

@[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.

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.

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.
Can't believe no one's commented on this! What a fucking fantastic. This goes out to Jono, cause he's been to dungeness. ;)
Great song! Well its just saying that he (Joel) went to Dungeness with his girlfriend/wife and wot they did there.
This is a beautiful song. It's very emotional the way that he sings it. This and Shake Those Windows are my top 2 Athlete songs. So amazingly expressive. I think it's about memories of a happy trip (to Dungeness, probably...) and a relationship around that time.
