This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Everybody knows that happy is the new sad
So I am gonna go and imitate my old dad
And never crack a smile again.
Everybody knows that as we all get older
The will is first to go and so upon my shoulder
The bluebird shall not sing again.
Everybody knows that as our hair gets greyer
We strike a bended pose and say a little prayer
To never feel this way again.
Everybody knows it's never getting better
Everything must go and you will have to let her
And never see her face again.
Everybody's youth is only what they make it
Longer in the tooth, so why do people fake it?
We'll never get it back again.
I know it hurts
No one wants to die.
Goodbye.
Goodbye.
Goodbye.
Goodbye.
So I am gonna go and imitate my old dad
And never crack a smile again.
Everybody knows that as we all get older
The will is first to go and so upon my shoulder
The bluebird shall not sing again.
Everybody knows that as our hair gets greyer
We strike a bended pose and say a little prayer
To never feel this way again.
Everybody knows it's never getting better
Everything must go and you will have to let her
And never see her face again.
Everybody's youth is only what they make it
Longer in the tooth, so why do people fake it?
We'll never get it back again.
I know it hurts
No one wants to die.
Goodbye.
Goodbye.
Goodbye.
Goodbye.

@[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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental 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.
I think this song is one of the Barenaked Ladies best songs ever, unless you have a cold heart and a funny bone of steel you'll get a tear in your eye when you hear this. It's about time going by and life's various losses and how it's hard but you need to say goodbye.
I think this song is about old age, and what comes with it, i.e. grey hair, bent back, ect.
The verse: "Everybody's youth is only what they make it Longer in the tooth, so why do people fake it? We'll never get it back again."
Is expressing a regret about not living life to the fullest when the narrator was still physically able to. This verse could also be seen as a warning to not waste youth. 'Youth is wasted on the young' sorta thing.
I think mainly that this song is told from the point of view of an elderly person. They are telling us what it is like to be close to death and they are saying "goodbye" in the process.
I don't know wether I should feel relaxed or get lonely while listening to this song, but surely this is beautifully written.
