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”
Let's take a train down to the lake
It's such a gorgeous day out
We'd be crazy
If we stayed in
Just
Just because we're bored
It doesn't mean we have to
Continue being bored
[Chorus]
To all my friends I hope
That every word I wrote
Finds you well you know
I loved you all alone
We'll spike the soda cans with booze
The weather on the news says
We should expect
The sun to make it's long
Awaited return
On the big blue screen
Now this I gotta
See for myself
[Chorus]
To all my enemies
I welcome memories
I hope these words could mend
Like a swift kick to the hand
Go find a spot to stop and
Set up shop and
Appreciate the girls
On rollerskates
We'll hide our true intentions
And our true dispositions
Behind our calm demeanors
And some fucking dark sunglasses
Let's blow an entire afternoon
To just enjoy the view
It feels good to have nothing
That I have to do
[Chorus]
To all my enemies
I welcome memories
I hope these words could mend
Like a swift kick to the hand
[Chorus]
To all my enemies
I welcome memories
To all my friends you know
I loved you all alone
I loved you all alone
I loved you all alone
I loved you all alone
I loved you all alone
It's such a gorgeous day out
We'd be crazy
If we stayed in
Just
Just because we're bored
It doesn't mean we have to
Continue being bored
[Chorus]
To all my friends I hope
That every word I wrote
Finds you well you know
I loved you all alone
We'll spike the soda cans with booze
The weather on the news says
We should expect
The sun to make it's long
Awaited return
On the big blue screen
Now this I gotta
See for myself
[Chorus]
To all my enemies
I welcome memories
I hope these words could mend
Like a swift kick to the hand
Go find a spot to stop and
Set up shop and
Appreciate the girls
On rollerskates
We'll hide our true intentions
And our true dispositions
Behind our calm demeanors
And some fucking dark sunglasses
Let's blow an entire afternoon
To just enjoy the view
It feels good to have nothing
That I have to do
[Chorus]
To all my enemies
I welcome memories
I hope these words could mend
Like a swift kick to the hand
[Chorus]
To all my enemies
I welcome memories
To all my friends you know
I loved you all alone
I loved you all alone
I loved you all alone
I loved you all alone
I loved you all alone

@[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.

Page

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.
this has to be one of my favorite songs because it sounds like my life. spiking soda with booze is something i enjoy doing. i take the train around all the time (even IN CHICAGO). TOP is amazing.
here's some corrections...
"Let's the train down to the lake It's such a gorgeous day out We'd be crazy If we stayed indoors Just because we're poor Doesn't mean we have to Be caught being bored"
and i'm pretty sure "And our true dispositions" should be "And our drunk dispositions" (because it's talking about hiding being drunk behind calm demeanors and dark sunglasses--like a hangover). and all of the "I loved you all alone"s should be "I loved you all along."
i think this song is just about enjoying life and spending time with friends. it kind of reminds me of when my friends and i took the train to chicago and spiked our gatorade bottles with vodka.
but i saw these guys live at warped tour over the summer. they were pretty awesome.
and it's "Like a swift kick to the head" not "hand"
I saw these guys in concert just last weekend with Jack's Mannequin. They're really something! Very good live, and I absolutely love this song.
Only, yeah... the lyrics are a bit messed up.
It's: "I hope these words connect Like a swift kick to the head"
the only correction i found was that it's suppose to be "I hope these words connect Like a swift kick to the head"
Yeah youkeepmeupinbed, and jenahatalia, you are correct.
I love this song. The lyrics and the melody of the song make me wanna just run around and play in the grass. ha. It's true, though. Great song.
Alright I found multiple corrections to be made And every lyrics site I went to made the same mistakes:
"We'll hide our true intentions And our true dispositions Behind our calm demeanors And some fucking dark sunglasses Let's blow an entire afternoon To just enjoy the view It feels good to have nothing That I have to do"
It SHOULD be (And this is comming from what I hear but I KNOW the last part is wrong [turn your volume up louder])
We'll hide our true intentions And our cultural* dispositions Behind our calm demeanors And some fucking dark sunglasses Let's blow an entire afternoon To just enjoy the view It feels good to have nothing BETTER TO DO
I love the song though
Treaty of Paris is an awesome local band. I've loved them since the first time I saw them as a little-known opener in the Metro. This is definitely my favorite song of theirs.
But wow. So many things wrong with these lyrics. Let's start at the beginning:
"We'd be crazy If we stayed inDOORS Just because we're POOR It doesn't mean we have to GO ON being bored
Chorus To all my friends I hope That every word I wrote Finds you well you know I loved you all alonG"
"To all my enemies UNwelcome memories I hope these words CONNECT Like a swift kick to the HEAD"
"WE'LL find a spot to stop and Set up shop and Appreciate the girls On rollerskates We'll hide our true intentions And our DRUNK dispositions Behind our calm demeanors And some fucking dark sunglasses Let's blow an entire afternoon To just enjoy the view It feels good to have nothing BETTER to do"
Hope this helps.
