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.
It happens again in the fall
Twice in a year where we won't talk
Counting the days past December
Remember
Thirteen more hours thinking
I want to be the one who's sorry when you're gone
I want it right now
I want it all written down
Are you the person
Are you the one to let it go
(You'll regret these last goodbyes)
Let you know
(Don't hold my hand, this time it's mine)
I never said the snow would break my heart
(Forget the notes I wrote to you)
I swear I should have seen it from the start
(I won't be afraid)
I never told you this before
You weren't listening and it's cool
Chasing you away with midnight calls
But no one picks up so we can't talk
You say you're amazing
That's crazy
You break this once before
The higher standards fallen because of what you've done
I want it right now
I want it all written down
Are you the person
Are you the one to let it go
(You'll regret these last goodbyes)
Let you know
(Don't hold my hand, this time it's mine)
I never said the snow would break my heart
(Forget the notes I wrote to you)
I swear I should have seen it from the start
(I won't be afraid)
I never told you this before
You weren't listening and its cool
To let you know that you've been gone for so long
(You'll regret these last goodbyes)
I swear I should have seen it from the start
(Don't hold my hand, this time it's mine)
I never said the snow would break my heart
(Forget the notes I wrote to you)
Don't want to see you at my door
(I won't be afraid)
I never told you this before
You weren't listening and its cool
This time it's mine
Twice in a year where we won't talk
Counting the days past December
Remember
Thirteen more hours thinking
I want to be the one who's sorry when you're gone
I want it right now
I want it all written down
Are you the person
Are you the one to let it go
(You'll regret these last goodbyes)
Let you know
(Don't hold my hand, this time it's mine)
I never said the snow would break my heart
(Forget the notes I wrote to you)
I swear I should have seen it from the start
(I won't be afraid)
I never told you this before
You weren't listening and it's cool
Chasing you away with midnight calls
But no one picks up so we can't talk
You say you're amazing
That's crazy
You break this once before
The higher standards fallen because of what you've done
I want it right now
I want it all written down
Are you the person
Are you the one to let it go
(You'll regret these last goodbyes)
Let you know
(Don't hold my hand, this time it's mine)
I never said the snow would break my heart
(Forget the notes I wrote to you)
I swear I should have seen it from the start
(I won't be afraid)
I never told you this before
You weren't listening and its cool
To let you know that you've been gone for so long
(You'll regret these last goodbyes)
I swear I should have seen it from the start
(Don't hold my hand, this time it's mine)
I never said the snow would break my heart
(Forget the notes I wrote to you)
Don't want to see you at my door
(I won't be afraid)
I never told you this before
You weren't listening and its cool
This time it's mine

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

@[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.
