@[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.
Somewhere someone puts all of their faith in a fast car,
California opened your legs.
Well, honey, your feet, they ain't as pretty as you think.
My teeth are all still crooked on the inside.
Could you please leave all your clothes on,
and let me sweat this out?
I can only see you naked.
You're not in the car,
you're not spending all your mother's money, 'cause that makes you feel secure.
I can only see you naked, 'cause that's all you're good for.
I'm sure they all agree.
They take you home to help make you forget about me.
when they turn to sleep,
you're wide awake,
you spend the whole night staring up at the ceiling.
Don't justify, now you're no better than Justine.
Could you please leave all your clothes on,
and let me sweat this out?
I can only see you naked.
You're not in the car,
you're not spending all your mother's money 'cause that makes you feel secure.
I can only see you naked.
You said it was suicide
on the Fourth of July.
I say it saved my life.
I just wish you had died.
Could you please leave all your clothes on,
let me sweat this out.
I can only see you naked.
You're not in that car.
You're not spending all your mother's money, because that makes you feel secure.
I can only see you naked,
that's all you're good for.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
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.
Page
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
on the live EP "And Now I Hope You're Alright" this song reads:
You said it was suicide on the Fourth of July. I say it saved my life. AND NOW I HOPE YOU'RE ALRIGHT.
It does, trust me, it's the name of the album. Is there another version where he says, "I just wish you had died." It'd be interesting if he changed that lyrics, because that would seem to reflect his pre-If Work Permits mindset. After Nate wrote If Work Permits, he said he had something of an epiphany about the value in "Just being alright" and not being mad at this girl anymore.
Pretty incredible song. Another example of how this band is the best at making a simple song so brilliantly complex.
Cheers.
On the album "B-Sides and Rarities", they changed the lyrics to "I just wish you had died"
