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.
There's a soft sweet space on the back of your neck
Smells like rain
There's a way you look at me baby
Heals my pain
Now I've studied every inch of your body
Baby what's on your mind
The touch of your skin just pulls me in
Every single time
There's a silent conversation
Filled with hidden revelations
In your eyes
[Chorus]
Baby in so into you
Every whisper from you soul to my heart
Baby I know its true
You're a sweet little mystery sent to me from the stars
And that's the beauty of who you are
Oh yeah
There's a faith you're saving for a rainy day
I could use right now
There's a way you move my soul to sing
Only you know how
You are sensual salvation
With the holiest temptation
Baby I'm never never never gonna be the same
[Chorus]
I can't explain it
Only begin to conceive
All I know is that you make me believe
Baby I'm so into you
Every whisper from you soul to my heart
Baby I know its true
You're a sweet little mystery sent to me from the stars
And that's the beauty of who you are
Smells like rain
There's a way you look at me baby
Heals my pain
Now I've studied every inch of your body
Baby what's on your mind
The touch of your skin just pulls me in
Every single time
There's a silent conversation
Filled with hidden revelations
In your eyes
[Chorus]
Baby in so into you
Every whisper from you soul to my heart
Baby I know its true
You're a sweet little mystery sent to me from the stars
And that's the beauty of who you are
Oh yeah
There's a faith you're saving for a rainy day
I could use right now
There's a way you move my soul to sing
Only you know how
You are sensual salvation
With the holiest temptation
Baby I'm never never never gonna be the same
[Chorus]
I can't explain it
Only begin to conceive
All I know is that you make me believe
Baby I'm so into you
Every whisper from you soul to my heart
Baby I know its true
You're a sweet little mystery sent to me from the stars
And that's the beauty of who you are

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”
Holiday

@[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.
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.
This is a beautiful song! If a guy wrote this for me I would melt. I don't even like songs from this genre. Its just a beautiful song, sung beautifully.
I've only felt this way about someone once, and every time I hear this song, it reminds me of him. I cannot listen to this song without crying and yearning for what I once had. It's about being completely crazy about someone, about being able to think of nothing else... and it's loving everything about them and seeing, exactly, the beauty of who they are. Such a good song, I highly recommend it. I wasn't even a fan of him until I heard it.
