This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
I got dragged
Into this wedding with my friend Maurice
Hoping to dance and drink some fine champage
Still get out early enough to drive your car
Out to the ocean
But the clouds were lost
And all the songs were sweet
Starry eyed
I'm sentimental and I get sucked in
To any union
Promising away
Like it's so easy to know how you'll be
Come anniversary
Oh, I can keep a promise
No, I can't keep a secret
She's in bloom
Her lips and shoulders dressing up this room
Dancing like the wedding's ended and.. ?
I've got time
I've been around and I've got time
But it's a crime to sit and wonder
And oh, it's a crime, oh
If you knew, oh
If you knew, oh
I am in love with everyone here
I am in love with everyone here
No, I'm not in love with anyone dear
I'm not in love
She's in bloom
Her lips and shoulders dressing up this room
Dancing like the wedding's ended and.. ?
But I've got time
I've been around and I've got time
And it's a crime to sit and wonder
And God, it's a crime
I can keep a promise
No, I can't keep a secret
Oh, I can keep a promise
No, I can't keep a...
Na, na, na, na, no
No, no, no
No
Into this wedding with my friend Maurice
Hoping to dance and drink some fine champage
Still get out early enough to drive your car
Out to the ocean
But the clouds were lost
And all the songs were sweet
Starry eyed
I'm sentimental and I get sucked in
To any union
Promising away
Like it's so easy to know how you'll be
Come anniversary
Oh, I can keep a promise
No, I can't keep a secret
She's in bloom
Her lips and shoulders dressing up this room
Dancing like the wedding's ended and.. ?
I've got time
I've been around and I've got time
But it's a crime to sit and wonder
And oh, it's a crime, oh
If you knew, oh
If you knew, oh
I am in love with everyone here
I am in love with everyone here
No, I'm not in love with anyone dear
I'm not in love
She's in bloom
Her lips and shoulders dressing up this room
Dancing like the wedding's ended and.. ?
But I've got time
I've been around and I've got time
And it's a crime to sit and wonder
And God, it's a crime
I can keep a promise
No, I can't keep a secret
Oh, I can keep a promise
No, I can't keep a...
Na, na, na, na, no
No, no, no
No

@[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.
Head > Heels

Ed Sheeran
“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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
Page

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.
cold feet, second guesses, doubts, fear of a mundane unionized 9-5 life and the consequences that it brings, and fear that he isnt worth his word. im young and have my life ahead, i love everyone, i cant keep myself promised to you--and the tension that that brings. im not sure if its the narrator's wedding or not. but the thoughts are as if it is.
This song seems pretty literal to me. It's about a guy who goes to a wedding, gets mushy about it and comments that it's so easy for them, "like they'll know what they'll feel like come anniversary." he sees a beautiful woman and thinks immediately, "i'm in love" but then realizes, "i'm in love with no one here." he's afraid of commitment. then he comforts himself with, "i've been around, i've got time." it's about second guessing yourself and being afraid of falling in love and wrecking it.
I wish the comment type would include "Lyric Addition", as I don't have anything to correct. That said, I would like to add I believe the line is "Dancing like the wedding's ended and the lights are low". Other than that, it's perfect, word for word, and is one of my favorite songs, by Cold War Kids and in general. Try listening to this and then "Every Man I fall For". What a beautiful collision!
Dancing like he WORLD is ending and ?
I think this song is about a wedding guest who doesn't know how he feels about weddings, hence, his not really wanting to go "I got dragged to this wedding". Also, when he says "like it's so easy to know how you'll feel come anniversary" he is questioning how people settle down, wondering, how do they know that in a year or five years they will feel the same? He clearly doesn't know what love is, thinking he is in love with everyone and then no one. I think the "it's a crime" thing is referring to him being cynical at their wedding and he's thinking he shouldn't think that way.
