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.
I've had days of wine and women and wine
Spending all my precious time, I wish I could press rewind
But it's just play feels like fast-forward some days
Maybe it's just a phase, maybe I'm losing my mind
Oh, pretty hair
Listen what I'm thinking
I wanna get lost with you
I wanna forget where I came from
I wanna get lost with you will you help me along
Floating on an island with you I wanna get lost
You're the type, that won't stop 'til it's done right
Won't let him out of her sight, don't mind putting up no fight
And that's the way I like it don't mind when a man gets excited
Sometimes you even invite it keeping me up all night
Hey, oh, baby
Listen what I'm thinking and
I wanna get lost with you
I wanna forget where I came from
I wanna get lost with you, will you help me along
Floating on an island with you I wanna get lost
Oh oh, baby see you're off the coast
Working it out, showing on through
Building a sandcastle, a big old sandbox
Oh baby, listen what I'm thinking
I wanna get lost with you
I wanna forget where I came from
I wanna get lost with you, will you help me along
Floating on an island with you I wanna get lost
I wanna get lost with you
I wanna forget where I came from
I wanna get lost with you will you help me, help me along
Floating on an island with you I wanna get lost
Floating on an island with you I wanna get lost
Floating on an island with you I wanna get lost, yeah
Spending all my precious time, I wish I could press rewind
But it's just play feels like fast-forward some days
Maybe it's just a phase, maybe I'm losing my mind
Oh, pretty hair
Listen what I'm thinking
I wanna get lost with you
I wanna forget where I came from
I wanna get lost with you will you help me along
Floating on an island with you I wanna get lost
You're the type, that won't stop 'til it's done right
Won't let him out of her sight, don't mind putting up no fight
And that's the way I like it don't mind when a man gets excited
Sometimes you even invite it keeping me up all night
Hey, oh, baby
Listen what I'm thinking and
I wanna get lost with you
I wanna forget where I came from
I wanna get lost with you, will you help me along
Floating on an island with you I wanna get lost
Oh oh, baby see you're off the coast
Working it out, showing on through
Building a sandcastle, a big old sandbox
Oh baby, listen what I'm thinking
I wanna get lost with you
I wanna forget where I came from
I wanna get lost with you, will you help me along
Floating on an island with you I wanna get lost
I wanna get lost with you
I wanna forget where I came from
I wanna get lost with you will you help me, help me along
Floating on an island with you I wanna get lost
Floating on an island with you I wanna get lost
Floating on an island with you I wanna get lost, yeah

@[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.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.

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 only one person's commented on this song!!! I love Gavin DeGraw and think this is one of the best songs on the album.
I think it's about a guy who used to just go out and have fun - "I’ve had days Of wine and women and wine"
But he's realised now that he's with this amazing girl (or could be with this amazing girl?) that was all a waste of time because this feeling is so much better. I think he either isn't going out with her and is just fantasising about it, or has only just started dating/getting to know her - it sounds quite like a new love, and is saying he WANTS to get lost with her, not that he has got lost and liked it!!
Basically it's about how much he likes a girl. And like Jess says, it's really sweet.
(I also love how the title, before you listen to it, makes you think it'll be an angry song with him telling someone to "get lost" but in fact it's entirely different.)
