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.
Once you have left here, what do you have..
Pieces at the best
Once you have run far and fast as you can..
Does it make you feel better
Or are you alone still without me
The love that finds you keeps you alive
And certain exciting new wanting love
Is this what you came for
You leave for the same, somewhere else
(Chorus)
Somewhere else, she wants without you
Somewhere more, she wants without you
You said you want, but I saw you...
Drifting apart to another place
To another one
(Chorus)
Somewhere else, she wants without you
Somewhere more, she wants without you
This like a shadow will haunt you
Like a storm without end
With tears and alone
There will be love again, somewhere else
(Chorus)
Somewhere else, she wants without you
Somewhere more, she wants without you
Pieces at the best
Once you have run far and fast as you can..
Does it make you feel better
Or are you alone still without me
The love that finds you keeps you alive
And certain exciting new wanting love
Is this what you came for
You leave for the same, somewhere else
(Chorus)
Somewhere else, she wants without you
Somewhere more, she wants without you
You said you want, but I saw you...
Drifting apart to another place
To another one
(Chorus)
Somewhere else, she wants without you
Somewhere more, she wants without you
This like a shadow will haunt you
Like a storm without end
With tears and alone
There will be love again, somewhere else
(Chorus)
Somewhere else, she wants without you
Somewhere more, she wants without 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.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
