This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
Walking home with the snow it is falling down
Passing by lit windows the people inside they wave from the glow
Chimney smoke billowing
Snowflakes on my lashes
Oh the starry night
I was walking and singing this song
La la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la la
Walking home with the snow it is falling down
Passing by lit windows the people inside they wave from the glow
Chimney smoke billowing
Snowflakes on my lashes
Oh the starry night
I was walking and singing this song
Sing along
La la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la la la
It's that day again
It's that time of year
With our smiling faces
We will sing with cheer
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la
Passing by lit windows the people inside they wave from the glow
Chimney smoke billowing
Snowflakes on my lashes
Oh the starry night
I was walking and singing this song
La la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la la
Walking home with the snow it is falling down
Passing by lit windows the people inside they wave from the glow
Chimney smoke billowing
Snowflakes on my lashes
Oh the starry night
I was walking and singing this song
Sing along
La la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la la la
It's that day again
It's that time of year
With our smiling faces
We will sing with cheer
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la

Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Holiday

@[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 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.
best eisley song ever i love listening to it and walking aroung in the snow in the winter it just gives you that feeling of bliss like you are in a wonderful dream i love it
I wonder...do they get snow down there in Texas? Maybe someone was somewhere else for a visit and this is the story of their first experience with snow. I remember meeting people from Florida who had never seen snow until they came to Pittsburgh, and they were completely intrigued by it. It's about the togetherness of the holiday season ("It's that day again/ It's that time of year/with our smiling faces/we will sing with cheer").
i like this song its swell
Omg one of my faves. It's freaken awesome! It doesn't snow around here but when I hear this song I imagine snow coming down! Give's out a very magical feeling 8->. Mannnnnn I love eisley 8->.
shutup
Certain places in Texas get snow. But it's usually not even a lot. =] [ I live in Texas] haha. But it's pretty like just about every Eisley song!
Best song about Christmas ever!
i want winter to get here now.
I'm so glad it was winter, and I was in Chicago when I bought the CD with this song on it. Otherwise I'da have to pretend it was snowing here in CA, and that just looks scary to the neighbors. I could try it with rain, but we don't really do that here either and I might get electrocuted. Hail would suck.
so the first time i heard this song, was a cold night in december, sometime near chrismas time, and my moms going through radio stations all of a sudden i hear a familiar voice and i'm "OMFG IS THAT EISLEY?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!!?!" first time i ever heard them on the radio, i almost peed my pants :P, sadly my mom changed the station right when i reconized who it was, and i couldn't find the station again >.< but thank god for google :P i love this song, i love eisley, man i love all their songs, new and old and always will :')
