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.
I used to think that I wasn't fine enough
And I used to think that I wasn't wild enough
But I won't waste my time tryna figure out why you playin' games
What's this all about?
And I can't believe
You're hurting me
I met your girl, what a difference
What you see in her
You ain't seen in me
But I guess it was all just make-believe
Oh, love
Never knew what I was missin'
But I knew once we start kissin'
I found
Love
Never knew what I was missin'
But I knew once we start kissin'
I found, found you
Now you're gone, what am I gonna do?
So empty
My heart, my soul, can't go on
Go on, without you
My rainy days fade away when you
Come around, please tell me, baby
Why you go so far away?
Why you go?
Love
Never knew what I was missin'
But I knew once we start kissin'
I found
Love
Never knew what I was missin'
But I knew once we start kissin'
I found, I found you
Who would have known I'd find you?
Ooh
Now you're gone, what am I gonna do?
So empty
My heart, my soul, can't go on
Go on, baby, without you
Rainy days fade away
When you come around
Say you're here to stay
With me, boy
I don't want you to leave me
I, I need you
Love
Never knew what I was missin' (I never knew)
But I knew once we start kissin'
I found (found love)
Love
Never knew what (I never) I was missin' (never, never)
But I knew once we start kissin'
I found (I found, I found)
Love
Never knew what I was missin'
But I knew once we start kissin'
I found
And I used to think that I wasn't wild enough
But I won't waste my time tryna figure out why you playin' games
What's this all about?
And I can't believe
You're hurting me
I met your girl, what a difference
What you see in her
You ain't seen in me
But I guess it was all just make-believe
Oh, love
Never knew what I was missin'
But I knew once we start kissin'
I found
Love
Never knew what I was missin'
But I knew once we start kissin'
I found, found you
Now you're gone, what am I gonna do?
So empty
My heart, my soul, can't go on
Go on, without you
My rainy days fade away when you
Come around, please tell me, baby
Why you go so far away?
Why you go?
Love
Never knew what I was missin'
But I knew once we start kissin'

Love
Never knew what I was missin'

Ooh

Rainy days fade away
When you come around
Say you're here to stay

Holiday

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.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
I love this song too, but i wish she would sing it alittle better...but i guess to get the major idea you would have to belt it out...maybe
