This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
I have seen my future die
My whole past as well
That hurricane she knew my name
And tonight just feels like hell
You left me
Wanting
So much more
When your love has gone away
It's a long goodbye
Sometimes I see you dancing there
In the fading light
But when I look again you've gone
The poppies all run wild
You left me
Wanting
So much more
When your love has gone away
It's a long goodbye
I screamed with the wind
I howled at the rain
I even prayed
But nothing I do and nothing I say
Will bring you back again
A thousand questions never asked
I'm left wondering why
So many secrets never shared
Guess I'll keep them 'til I die
You left me
Wanting
So much more
When your love has gone away
It's a long goodbye
My whole past as well
That hurricane she knew my name
And tonight just feels like hell
You left me
Wanting
So much more
When your love has gone away
It's a long goodbye
Sometimes I see you dancing there
In the fading light
But when I look again you've gone
The poppies all run wild
You left me
Wanting
So much more
When your love has gone away
It's a long goodbye
I screamed with the wind
I howled at the rain
I even prayed
But nothing I do and nothing I say
Will bring you back again
A thousand questions never asked
I'm left wondering why
So many secrets never shared
Guess I'll keep them 'til I die
You left me
Wanting
So much more
When your love has gone away
It's a long goodbye

@[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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Magical

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.
When the song was released it was reported on MTV and VH1 that this song was written because Alannah had lost both her child and her mother on the same day.
So sad. Songs of Loss. "Guess I'll keep them 'til I die.." makes me want to die... or have another beer. Reminds me of "Paint it Black" by the Rolling Stones. ".. I see a line of cars and they're all painted black, with flowers and my love both never to come back..." Oh, where did my hope in Christ fade off to... B23 would have been sweet but life drags on...
