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.
One, two, three
Not only you and me
Got one eighty degrees
And I'm caught in between
Countin', one, two, three
Peter, Paul and Mary
Gettin' down with 3P
Everybody loves, oh
(One, two)
(One, one, one, one, two, three)
(Counting one, two)
(Counting one, one, two, three)
Babe, pick a night
To come out and play
If it's alright
What do you say?
Merrier the more
Triple fun that way
Twister on the floor
What do you say?
Are you in
Livin' in sin is the new thing (yeah)
Are, you in
I am countin'
One, two, three
Not only you and me
Got one eighty degrees
And I'm caught in between
Countin', one, two, three
Peter, Paul and Mary
Gettin' down with 3P
Everybody loves, oh
Countin', one, two, three
Not only you and me
Got one eighty degrees
And I'm caught in between
Countin', one, two, three
Peter, Paul and Mary
Gettin' down with 3P
Everybody loves, oh
Three is a charm
Two is not the same
I don't see the harm
So are you game?
Lets' make a team
Make 'em say my name
Lovin' the extreme
Now are you game?
Are, you in
Livin' in sin is the new thing
Are, you in
I am countin'
One, two, three
Not only you and me
Got one eighty degrees
And I'm caught in between
Countin', one, two, three
Peter, Paul and Mary
Gettin' down with 3P
Everybody loves, oh
Countin', one, two, three
Not only you and me
Got one eighty degrees
And I'm caught in between
Countin', one, two, three
Peter, Paul and Mary
Gettin' down with 3P
Everybody loves, oh
What we do is innocent
Just for fun and nothin' meant
If you don't like the company
Let's just do it you and me
You and me
Or three
Or four
On the floor
One, two, three
Not only you and me
Got one eighty degrees
And I'm caught in between
Countin', one, two, three
Peter, Paul and Mary
Gettin' down with 3P
Everybody loves, oh
Countin', one, two, three
Not only you and me
Got one eighty degrees
And I'm caught in between
Countin', one, two, three
Peter, Paul and Mary
Gettin' down with 3P
Everybody loves, oh
Not only you and me
Got one eighty degrees
And I'm caught in between
Countin', one, two, three

@[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.

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.
THREESOMEEEEE. haha, great. when i realised what this was about, damn. at first i was like O.O ... but then i lol'd.
