This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
He said "Who truly belongs here?"
"Not I" She stared, "I’d lie here with you."
He knows, no one shines forever,
they change with the weather
He said "I’ve now stayed too long here."
"Goodbye" She said, "I’ll wait here for you."
He knows the winds carry sorrow
As they leave, she'll follow
They leave tomorrow
Fragments of joy torn apart,
A freshly drained heart
That beats, disguise themselves through him
He’ll say that "It’s nothing new."
And swear this is true, for you
I’ll swallow the ocean, I’ll swallow the ocean
He said "Who truly belongs here?"
"Not I" She stared, "I’d lie here to you."
I know the sorrow is sacred,
and I’ll never break you,
I’ll softly save you
Fragments of joy torn apart
A freshly drained heart
That beats, disguise themselves through him
He’ll say that "It’s nothing new."
And swear this is true, for you
I’ll swallow the ocean, I’ll swallow the ocean
"Not I" She stared, "I’d lie here with you."
He knows, no one shines forever,
they change with the weather
He said "I’ve now stayed too long here."
"Goodbye" She said, "I’ll wait here for you."
He knows the winds carry sorrow
As they leave, she'll follow
They leave tomorrow
Fragments of joy torn apart,
A freshly drained heart
That beats, disguise themselves through him
He’ll say that "It’s nothing new."
And swear this is true, for you
I’ll swallow the ocean, I’ll swallow the ocean
He said "Who truly belongs here?"
"Not I" She stared, "I’d lie here to you."
I know the sorrow is sacred,
and I’ll never break you,
I’ll softly save you
Fragments of joy torn apart
A freshly drained heart
That beats, disguise themselves through him
He’ll say that "It’s nothing new."
And swear this is true, for you
I’ll swallow the ocean, I’ll swallow the ocean

@[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.

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
Magical

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.
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.
This song has three point of views I think. The she, he, and you. So Davey could be singing about a he unrelated from himself. I hope that made sense...
