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.
We're gonna be laughing about this
We're gonna be dancing around
It's gonna be so good now
It's gonna be so good
Oh so exciting, go on and on
Every time you leave us
So summer will be gone
So you'll never grow old to us
It's gonna be so good now
It's gonna be so good
Can you see the lark ascending?
Oh so romantic, swept me off my feet
Like some kind of magic
Like the light in Italy
Lost its way across the sea
Roma Roma mia
Tesoro mio, bella
Pieno di sole luce
Bali cozi bene, bene
Pianissimo
Pianissimo
What a lovely afternoon
What a lovely afternoon
Oh will you come with us
To find the song of the oil and brush
We're gonna be dancing around
It's gonna be so good now
It's gonna be so good
Oh so exciting, go on and on
Every time you leave us
So summer will be gone
So you'll never grow old to us
It's gonna be so good now
It's gonna be so good
Can you see the lark ascending?
Oh so romantic, swept me off my feet
Like some kind of magic
Like the light in Italy
Lost its way across the sea
Roma Roma mia
Tesoro mio, bella
Pieno di sole luce
Bali cozi bene, bene
Pianissimo
Pianissimo
What a lovely afternoon
What a lovely afternoon
Oh will you come with us
To find the song of the oil and brush

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”

@[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 is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
I don't think a song could be more beautiful than this.
i tried translating the italian: My Rome Roma
My treasure, beautiful
Full of sun light
(Bali cozi) well, well
quiet quiet
this may be wildey inaccurate but i tried. not sure what bali cozi means.
she actually says bellicose pronounced Beli cozi <br /> which means <br /> having or showing a ready disposition to fight<br /> so you could say an expressive ( no literal translation) could be <br /> My Rome Rome<br /> My darling, beautiful<br /> Full sun then to light<br /> such a contentious nature ok , ok <br /> be gentle <br /> be gentle <br /> <br /> ( she says a few more things in Italian before Pieno di sole luce but i cant make it out
the whole of 'A sky of honey' just epitomises the beautiful, long English summer evening to me. By the coast or in the countryside you can feel the special quality of the light and hear the birdsong that is so obvious in summer. Beautiful.
That should probably be "belle cosi", beautiful things.
