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.
They'll try to stop the dream we're dreamin'
But they can't stop us from believing
They will fill your head with doubt
But that won't stop us now
So let them say we can't do it
Put up a road block, we'll just run right through it 'cause
We can do the impossible
We have the power in our hands
And we won't stop 'cause we've got to make a difference in this life
With one voice, one heart, two hands, we can
They say the odds are stacked against us
But that can't hold us back, we will be relentless
There's a voice they're gonna hear
A voice so loud and clear
So let them say we can't do it
Give us a mountain and we're gonna move it 'cause
We can do the impossible
We have the power in our hands
And we won't stop 'cause we've got to make a difference in this life
With one voice, one heart, two hands, we can
We're gonna make a change today
(Make a change today)
Because we've got the faith it takes
To win this race
So let them say we can't do it
Put up a road block and we'll just run right through it 'cause
We can do the impossible
We have the power in our hands
And we won't stop 'cause we've got to make a difference in this life
With one voice, one heart, two hands, we can
I can do the impossible
I have the power in my hands
And I won't stop 'cause I've got to make a difference in this life
With my one voice, one heart, two hands, we can
But they can't stop us from believing
They will fill your head with doubt
But that won't stop us now
So let them say we can't do it
Put up a road block, we'll just run right through it 'cause
We can do the impossible
We have the power in our hands
And we won't stop 'cause we've got to make a difference in this life
With one voice, one heart, two hands, we can
They say the odds are stacked against us
But that can't hold us back, we will be relentless
There's a voice they're gonna hear
A voice so loud and clear
So let them say we can't do it
Give us a mountain and we're gonna move it 'cause
We can do the impossible
We have the power in our hands
And we won't stop 'cause we've got to make a difference in this life
With one voice, one heart, two hands, we can
We're gonna make a change today
(Make a change today)
Because we've got the faith it takes
To win this race
So let them say we can't do it
Put up a road block and we'll just run right through it 'cause
We can do the impossible
We have the power in our hands
And we won't stop 'cause we've got to make a difference in this life
With one voice, one heart, two hands, we can
I can do the impossible
I have the power in my hands
And I won't stop 'cause I've got to make a difference in this life
With my one voice, one heart, two hands, we can

@[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.

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.

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.
Loooved Legally Blonde 2.. and the song says that you can do what you want as long as you believe! (:
EXACTLY!!!
