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”
And if you ever really wanted, someone to call your own.
And if you ever really needed, while you were all alone.
And time and trouble did you ever think that you would be with your back against the wall?
But now your older, so much wiser now, the one who wants to make the call.
A little bolder now, cause while you're all alone, don't really know why you be holding on, to what was wrong.
And if you ever really thought that you would be the one with your back against the wall.
But now you rolling through like you never knew what it was to lose it all.
And if you hear what the other man say, you better stop and see.
And if you see what the other man see you know we must agree.
And if you do what the other man do, oh lord, we cannot be, the way that we wanted, the way that you need for the one that should be.
(Angelo Moore)
Have you ever really wanted someone to call your own? Someone, something, some place, sometime! We shove along, and live the life, when you need someone, someone to call your own,
My brotha, my sista, its good to have a place for home.
The lost and isolated, picking up the phone, but all I gets a ringtone.
I've got myself, but its always good to have a confident and a helping hand, cause we need eachother, don't you understand well!
Hear what the other man say, you better stop and see.
And if you see what the other man see, you know we must agree.
And if you do what t he other man do, oh lord, we cannot be, the way that we wanted the way the you need for the one that should be.
We can hope for better skies and we don't see why others lie all day and night you can't deny these things we've seen through others eyes
The long and windey road, is the road that's been less traveled on,
I said the long and windey road, is the road you take while moving on
And if you hear what the other man say, you better stop and see.
And if you see what the other man see you know we must agree.
And if you do what the other man do, oh lord, we cannot be, the way that we wanted, the way that you need for the one that should be.
And if you ever really needed, while you were all alone.
And time and trouble did you ever think that you would be with your back against the wall?
But now your older, so much wiser now, the one who wants to make the call.
A little bolder now, cause while you're all alone, don't really know why you be holding on, to what was wrong.
And if you ever really thought that you would be the one with your back against the wall.
But now you rolling through like you never knew what it was to lose it all.
And if you hear what the other man say, you better stop and see.
And if you see what the other man see you know we must agree.
And if you do what the other man do, oh lord, we cannot be, the way that we wanted, the way that you need for the one that should be.

@[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.
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
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.
