This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Oh go, far from this small-town bar we know
And go, frolic in the lights that brought you here
So very long
And hold, hold your lips so tightly at the shadows, we go
'Cause I know, I know, I know, I know
You can never be alone
'Cause it's just the bones you're made of
And you laugh like you've never been lonely
That's alright, honey
That's alright with me
Oh, you laugh like there's hope in the story
That's alright, honey
That's alright with me
Oh, you laugh like I'll be there to hold you always
Always here
I'm always, honey, always here
And go, silent as death on the first day of the snow
Oh go, leave these fires burning
A house of embers and coal
And cover, covered all those boys that search for love
In your room
'Cause lust is just a child's game and you
Oh, you were always late to bloom
And you laugh like you've never been lonely
That's alright, honey
That's alright with me
Oh, you laugh like there's hope in the story
That's alright, honey
That's alright with me
Oh, you laugh like I'll be there to hold you always
Always here
I'm always, honey, always here
And you love like you've always been lonely
That's alright honey
That's alright with me
Oh, you love him with all of your body
That's alright honey
That's alright with me
Oh, you love him like you'll be there for always
Always, honey, yeah, always near
Always, honey, yeah, always near
Always, honey, yeah, always near
Oh, far from this small-town bar we know
Oh, go, leave me with this bird and his song
Out here in the cold
'Cause it's just the bones you're made of
And go, frolic in the lights that brought you here
So very long
And hold, hold your lips so tightly at the shadows, we go
'Cause I know, I know, I know, I know
You can never be alone
'Cause it's just the bones you're made of
And you laugh like you've never been lonely
That's alright, honey
That's alright with me
Oh, you laugh like there's hope in the story
That's alright, honey
That's alright with me
Oh, you laugh like I'll be there to hold you always
Always here
I'm always, honey, always here
And go, silent as death on the first day of the snow
Oh go, leave these fires burning
A house of embers and coal
And cover, covered all those boys that search for love
In your room
'Cause lust is just a child's game and you
Oh, you were always late to bloom
And you laugh like you've never been lonely
That's alright, honey
That's alright with me
Oh, you laugh like there's hope in the story
That's alright, honey
That's alright with me
Oh, you laugh like I'll be there to hold you always
Always here
I'm always, honey, always here
And you love like you've always been lonely
That's alright honey
That's alright with me
Oh, you love him with all of your body
That's alright honey
That's alright with me
Oh, you love him like you'll be there for always
Always, honey, yeah, always near
Always, honey, yeah, always near
Always, honey, yeah, always near
Oh, far from this small-town bar we know
Oh, go, leave me with this bird and his song
Out here in the cold
'Cause it's just the bones you're made of

@[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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Page
Ed Sheeran
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.
This has been my favourite song since I first heard it in 2011. My interpretation seems to be very different to everyone else who has commented.
His girlfriend is leaving for uni, and they are staying together. The first verse he talks about her leaving and tells her to 'hold her lips so tightly' because she can never be alone. He's telling her not to find someone else, because she will be on her own, and he doesn't think she can wait for them to be together again. And its 'just the bones she's made of', her personality, that draws people to her, and it won't be hard for her to find company away from him.
The chorus is her speaking back, laughing and what he's saying because she thinks it'll be easy, how hard is it for her to be alone? He thinks she's being naive by thinking he will always be there to hold her. He thinks it's inevitable that she will find someone else when they're apart.
The second verse is after she has left, and he can feel her silence. He seems cynical that she has left with the relationship very much alive 'oh go leave these fires burning'. Then he warns her about all the guys at uni that will try and sleep with her 'boys that search for love in your room' and he justifies himself by saying that 'lust is just a child's game' then calls her naive again by saying she 'were always late to bloom'.
Then the third verse, which is slightly different, she has now found a new lover, just as he worried. He reminds himself that she loves fully and without restraint, as if she is loving for the first time 'you love like you've always been lonely' and 'you love him with all of your body'. He has accepted that change, and tells her that she loves her new man the way she loved him, like it will never end, as in the previous chorus, is saying she is naive, but nonetheless, she loves like its forever.
Then the outro, he is telling her he hasn't moved since she left. He is still waiting for her in the same place 'small town bar we know', just like when she left, but she's not coming back and he is has been left behind 'out here in the cold'. It was inevitable that this was going to happen, and he knew it, but she insisted that the relationship would work and therefore kept it long-distance, which he waited for her, not knowing when she would find someone else.
I might see it this particular way because this song was released just as I was leaving for uni, and I was leaving my girlfriend behind, and we were very much in love. We stayed together long-distance, but I was much more optimistic than her, because she was in the same old familiar place, where we shared so much time, now empty without me, just waiting for me to return. It's very plausible that Ben had a girlfriend who was leaving for uni.
