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.
I don't deserve a girl like you
I don't deserve a girl like you
Do you even know how perfect you are?
How could you even like a guy like me?
You seem so perfect to me
You are God's greatest creation
God's most beautiful creature
God's most prized possession
You're so perfect
So perfect
You have me up all night thinking about you
Up all night talking about how perfect you are
You have me crying when I think of our memories
Crying when I hear our song
Why has God blessed me with such a girl like you?
No one in this world compares with you
Every single angel envies your beauty
There is no other girl like you
The devil trembles every time he looks at you
You are the most amazing girl in the world
You seem so perfect to me
You are God's greatest creation
God's most beautiful creature
God's most prized possession
You're so perfect
So perfect
I never want to lose you
Never want to hurt you
Never want to leave you
I will never turn my back on you girl
Hold my hand and kiss me once more tonight
Please let me hold you forever
Falling asleep in my arms tonight
You seem so perfect to me
You are God's greatest creation
God's most beautiful creature
God's most prized possession
You're so perfect
So perfect
Staring at you for hours would be good enough for me
But yet I get to hold you and kiss you
Whenever I'm without you I feel more lonely than anyone can feel
Whenever I'm with you I feel more joy than anyone can feel
Being in the same room with you turns my day around
Just hearing your voice makes me smile
If you're so perfect tell me
Tell me how you can get more beautiful and beautiful every day?
And why?
Why have you chosen me?
You seem so perfect to me
You are God's greatest creation
God's most beautiful creature
God's most prized possession
You're so perfect
So perfect
No word can even begin to describe you
(That's how perfect you are)
Every inch of you is pure beauty
(That's how perfect you are)
This song can't even fathom how incredibly perfect you really are
You seem so perfect to me
You are God's greatest creation
God's most beautiful creature
God's most prized possession
You're so perfect
So perfect
I would die for you in a heartbeat
Because I don't even know how the world could exist without your perfect feet walking upon it
I'm afraid to think what the world would be without your presence
Every single second I'm with you I get a glimpse of heaven
You seem so perfect to me
You are God's greatest creation
God's most beautiful creature
God's most prized possession
You're so perfect
So perfect
I'm just sorry this song couldn't even begin to explain how perfect this girl is for me
And how happy I am just to live on the same planet with her
She means everything to me
Why?
Because she is God's Greatest Creation, God's Most Beautiful Creature
I don't deserve a girl like you
Do you even know how perfect you are?
How could you even like a guy like me?
You seem so perfect to me
You are God's greatest creation
God's most beautiful creature
God's most prized possession
You're so perfect
So perfect
You have me up all night thinking about you
Up all night talking about how perfect you are
You have me crying when I think of our memories
Crying when I hear our song
Why has God blessed me with such a girl like you?
No one in this world compares with you
Every single angel envies your beauty
There is no other girl like you
The devil trembles every time he looks at you
You are the most amazing girl in the world
You seem so perfect to me
You are God's greatest creation
God's most beautiful creature
God's most prized possession
You're so perfect
So perfect
I never want to lose you
Never want to hurt you
Never want to leave you
I will never turn my back on you girl
Hold my hand and kiss me once more tonight
Please let me hold you forever
Falling asleep in my arms tonight
You seem so perfect to me
You are God's greatest creation
God's most beautiful creature
God's most prized possession
You're so perfect
So perfect
Staring at you for hours would be good enough for me
But yet I get to hold you and kiss you
Whenever I'm without you I feel more lonely than anyone can feel
Whenever I'm with you I feel more joy than anyone can feel
Being in the same room with you turns my day around
Just hearing your voice makes me smile
If you're so perfect tell me
Tell me how you can get more beautiful and beautiful every day?
And why?
Why have you chosen me?
You seem so perfect to me
You are God's greatest creation
God's most beautiful creature
God's most prized possession
You're so perfect
So perfect

(That's how perfect you are)
Every inch of you is pure beauty
(That's how perfect you are)

Because she is God's Greatest Creation, God's Most Beautiful Creature

Holiday
Bee Gees
Bee Gees
@[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.

Silent Planet
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.
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.
