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.
Today I feel the mood
And I don't feel like talking oh ho a waha
I wasn't ready to lose you
You're the first man to move me yeah
You help me feel alive
Got me up from nine to five oh ho a waha
I could get through those days
With you on my mind yeah
Gotta try and move on, but I promise you
I will kiss your crown when life takes me down
I saved my last dance for you my friend
I saved my last dance for you my friend
And all the seats in the crowd
Oh people love to move now oh ho a waha
I just can't feel the beat
'Cause my heart's fallen out yeah
Gotta try and move on but I promise you
I will kiss your crown when life takes me down
I'll save my last dance for you, my friend
I'll save my last dance for you, my friend
I've got my life in my hands, and your love in my heart
I've got my life in my hands, and your love in my heart
I'll save my last dance for you, my friend
And it seems I've lived my life, with you as my rhythm, yeah
And I know I'll find my feet after dreaming, yeah, yeah
I'll saved my last dance for you My friend
I'll saved my last dance for you My friend
I've got my life in my hands, and your love in my heart
I've got my life in my hands, and your love in my heart
I'll save my last dance for you, my friend
I've got my life in my hands, and your love in my heart (Today I feel the mood)
I've got my life in my hands, and your love in my heart
I've got my life in my hands, and your love in my heart (I wasn't ready to lose you, yeah, yeah)
I've got my life in my hands, and your love in my heart
And I don't feel like talking oh ho a waha

I could get through those days
With you on my mind yeah
Gotta try and move on, but I promise you

I've got my life in my hands, and your love in my heart
I'll save my last dance for you, my friend
I've got my life in my hands, and your love in my heart (Today I feel the mood)
I've got my life in my hands, and your love in my heart

@[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” 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.
After looking through interviews, it's actually inspired by the passing of Michael Jackson. A lot of the meaning makes sense especially the 'kissing the crown' bit as he was the 'King of Pop' but it's an awesome song.
LOL...a song about a coward who lives in a dreamworld because he is too scared to risk anything. He's become old and boring and caged. He sings of freedom and being different, but he's just an ordinary coward who gave up on himself years ago. He lives with his dreams and hides behind his music. He'll have 30 years of it while the rest of the world moves on without him...
