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”
Put your hands up, raise your hands up
Put up a hand for your best friends
Put your hands up, raise your hands up
Put up a hand for your best friends
Some friends come, some friends go
But there's no one like you
You're the only friends I would
Tell my secrets to
We've got a special bond
That no one can break through
We're just like sisters
And we stick together like glue
'Cause you know that we could read each others minds
And we've got each others backs all the time
So we just thought that we would let you know
We'll be your friends for sure
Best friends, 'cause they never let each other down
We're best friends, no matter what we'll always be around
When you need someone to talk to
Girls, you can count on us to be your best friends
When you're glad, when you're sad
We will be right here
Anything you go through
Call us up and share
That's what friends are for
We will lend a ear
Any burden that you carry
Will be ours to bear
'Cause you know that we could read each others minds
And we've got each others backs all the time
So we just thought that we would let you know
We'll be your friends for sure
Best friends, 'cause they never let each other down
We're best friends, no matter what we'll always be around
When you need someone to talk to
Girls, you can count on us to be your best friends
Girlfriends you can count on us
We'll be around whenever you need us
Friends for life, yes indeed
Got each others back permanently
Put your hands up, raise your hands up
Put up a hand for your best friends
Put your hands up, raise your hands up
Put up a hand for your best friends
Best friends, 'cause they never let each other down
We're best friends, no matter what we'll always be around
When you need someone to talk to
Girls, you can count on us to be your best friends
Best friends, we're best friends
No matter what, best friends
Girls, you can count on us to be your best friends
Put up a hand for your best friends
Put your hands up, raise your hands up
Put up a hand for your best friends
Some friends come, some friends go
But there's no one like you
You're the only friends I would
Tell my secrets to
We've got a special bond
That no one can break through
We're just like sisters
And we stick together like glue
'Cause you know that we could read each others minds
And we've got each others backs all the time
So we just thought that we would let you know
We'll be your friends for sure
Best friends, 'cause they never let each other down
We're best friends, no matter what we'll always be around
When you need someone to talk to
Girls, you can count on us to be your best friends
When you're glad, when you're sad

@[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.
Page
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
Love this song. Hate the way it starts, though.
It's possible to have more than one best friend but it must be and stay an intimate circle. Everyone must play their part in keeping everyone feeling secure. No one apart of the circle should have to ask for help that should automatically be given. Best friends should be tight as or tighter than family.
