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.
You blame it all on me
As if you are guilt free
And your friends are so convinced
My friends deserted me
Reasons I could not see
Now I know that it was you
So take that smile off your face
It has no use within this place
Talk behind my back
The truth it will prevail
Your sad attempt will fail
And your friends will see that it's not me
You'll never lie again
You're losing all your friends
Truth wins out in the end
This is my sweet revenge
To see you all alone in the end
Now I'm walking down, out past your house
To see if you're there
(I want to say this to you)
But you're never home and I only joke
(If I could just think straight)
And I still hate you
You'll never lie again
You're losing all your friends
Truth wins out in the end
As if you are guilt free
And your friends are so convinced
My friends deserted me
Reasons I could not see
Now I know that it was you
So take that smile off your face
It has no use within this place
Talk behind my back
The truth it will prevail
Your sad attempt will fail
And your friends will see that it's not me
You'll never lie again
You're losing all your friends
Truth wins out in the end
This is my sweet revenge
To see you all alone in the end
Now I'm walking down, out past your house
To see if you're there
(I want to say this to you)
But you're never home and I only joke
(If I could just think straight)
And I still hate you
You'll never lie again
You're losing all your friends
Truth wins out in the end

@[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.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield

I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Magical

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
i think its about how this girl dumped him..but lied to all his and her friends about what happend to make him look bad..then hes saying how his sweetest revenge is to see her all alone...he wants to say how if you lie and take people for granted that youll end up alone..and he goes to her house to try and tell her cuz he still likes her even tho she hurt him...
