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.
When I first met you
That is when I knew
This would be a long road home
When I crawled into your head
That is when I said
With you I want to grow old
Cause you're everything I want
Baby, you're everything I need inside of me
And you're everything I love
And I just want to be with you
When I looked into your eyes
It stopped my heart inside
And I wanted you to be mine
When you move me with your smile
I would crawl a mile
Just to see it one more time
Cause you're everything I want
Baby, you're everything I need inside of me
And you're everything I love
And I just want to be with you
It's true
I fell in love with you
I know
I will never be alone
I just want to find
A way to make you mine
Oh now, one more time
Cause you're everything I want
Baby, you're everything I need inside of me
And you're everything I love
And I just want to be with you
It's true
I fell in love with you
I know
I will never be alone
That is when I knew
This would be a long road home
When I crawled into your head
That is when I said
With you I want to grow old
Cause you're everything I want
Baby, you're everything I need inside of me
And you're everything I love
And I just want to be with you
When I looked into your eyes
It stopped my heart inside
And I wanted you to be mine
When you move me with your smile
I would crawl a mile
Just to see it one more time
Cause you're everything I want
Baby, you're everything I need inside of me
And you're everything I love
And I just want to be with you
It's true
I fell in love with you
I know
I will never be alone
I just want to find
A way to make you mine
Oh now, one more time
Cause you're everything I want
Baby, you're everything I need inside of me
And you're everything I love
And I just want to be with you
It's true
I fell in love with you
I know
I will never be alone

Holiday
Bee Gees
Bee Gees
@[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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
i kept listening to this song and never get bored of it. its just that he said all the things the first time he met her and he's going to make a way to make her to be with him. isn't that neat! now that guy really loves only one person and not a playboy! lol =)
