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.
All about Ronnie,
There's so much to tell!
All about Ronnie,
I know him so well!
His magical fingers,
Their sense of embrace;
His whisper that lingers,
Caressing you face.
All about Ronnie,
Best told in a toast;
Let me propose it,
He's my favourite host!
We'll drink from dry glasses,
There's no need for wine!
The champagne is Ronnie,
And Ronnie is mine!
There's so much to tell!
All about Ronnie,
I know him so well!
His magical fingers,
Their sense of embrace;
His whisper that lingers,
Caressing you face.
All about Ronnie,
Best told in a toast;
Let me propose it,
He's my favourite host!
We'll drink from dry glasses,
There's no need for wine!
The champagne is Ronnie,
And Ronnie is mine!

@[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.

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.

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
Not a chart hit, but still a hit of Connor's. Such a sweet, romantic tune about a guy she loved named Ronnie. She didn't need the wine to toast Ronnie as he was so special he was the champagne! The second stanza is actually quite sensual for the time period...magical fingers; sense of embrace; whisper that lingers; etc....gives me chills just hearing it. Provides the visuals of soft talking in the bedroom late at night with soft music playing in the background as she lies on her side and he uses his fingers to trace the silhouette of her body. Yummy. You go, Chris! (She died in 2009, but her music at least lives on:)
