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”
You wear your heart on your sleeve
So I thought you should know
You look like a stranger now
To the ones you call home
You said life's always changing (Yea)
Oh, nothing's the same
I can see all your faces now
I don't remember your names
And if you believe
I wish you would see it
And when you're around
I wish you would come back down
And I wouldn't give you time
Pick up the pieces of you left behind
I've got my mind made up
I'm ready to leave
I've measured the cost now
And I just want you to breathe
You feel that I'm always watching (Yea)
And I'd save you everytime (And I'd save you everytime)
Then I push you in harms way
And I was nowhere behind
So if this is a dream
I wish you would wake me
You don't want to be found
I guess I'll just turn around
And I will give you time
Pick up the pieces of you left behind
You're always my, every choice
You were my everything till you?
Everything all at once try
Never let it show
They got the best of us
I know you needed to dream
They wouldn't restrain you
Push so hard through the crowd
But you never made a sound
And I always took your side (Even when you left me behind)
They got the best of us?this year (Even when you left me behind)
They got the best of us?this year (Even when you left me behind)
They got the best of us
So I thought you should know
You look like a stranger now
To the ones you call home
You said life's always changing (Yea)
Oh, nothing's the same
I can see all your faces now
I don't remember your names
And if you believe
I wish you would see it
And when you're around
I wish you would come back down
And I wouldn't give you time
Pick up the pieces of you left behind
I've got my mind made up
I'm ready to leave
I've measured the cost now
And I just want you to breathe
You feel that I'm always watching (Yea)
And I'd save you everytime (And I'd save you everytime)
Then I push you in harms way
And I was nowhere behind
So if this is a dream
I wish you would wake me
You don't want to be found
I guess I'll just turn around
And I will give you time
Pick up the pieces of you left behind
You're always my, every choice
You were my everything till you?
Everything all at once try
Never let it show
They got the best of us
I know you needed to dream
They wouldn't restrain you
Push so hard through the crowd
But you never made a sound
And I always took your side (Even when you left me behind)
They got the best of us?this year (Even when you left me behind)
They got the best of us?this year (Even when you left me behind)
They got the best of us

@[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.

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.
UNFORTUNATELY when I was typing these lyrics I was in the wrong Artist and they were posted as Rains when it's really a ONE LESS REASON song. So I ask that this song be removed. I apologize for the inconvenience.
