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.
I sit and wait until that moment arrives
I'm so excited that I tingle inside
She picks me up in that long white car
We go a-camping and we count all the stars
She drives a cammy and it's wired for sound
It purrs so sweetly when she puts her foot down
Out to the country where the air if fresh
Just to be with her is just what I like best
I see her pale skin shine in the sun
She's got her 15+ sunblocker on
I can tell you that our love will be strong
After the boys of noise have gone
We're always planning about running away
So we can be together every day
When she's not here I don't know how I survive
I hurt myself 'cause I forget I'm alive
We run and hide from all the other boys
And sit in parks with educational toys
We sit and sip hot water and milk
And talk about how all the blood got spilt
We like to lie in bed and watch TV
And gasp in awe at miffy's simplicity
And when the rest is all said and done
I feel so good 'cause she's my geek love
We're always planning about running away
So we can be together every day
One day I know that all my dreams will come true
And I'll be rocking in porch rockers with you
I'm so excited that I tingle inside
She picks me up in that long white car
We go a-camping and we count all the stars
She drives a cammy and it's wired for sound
It purrs so sweetly when she puts her foot down
Out to the country where the air if fresh
Just to be with her is just what I like best
I see her pale skin shine in the sun
She's got her 15+ sunblocker on
I can tell you that our love will be strong
After the boys of noise have gone
We're always planning about running away
So we can be together every day
When she's not here I don't know how I survive
I hurt myself 'cause I forget I'm alive
We run and hide from all the other boys
And sit in parks with educational toys
We sit and sip hot water and milk
And talk about how all the blood got spilt
We like to lie in bed and watch TV
And gasp in awe at miffy's simplicity
And when the rest is all said and done
I feel so good 'cause she's my geek love
We're always planning about running away
So we can be together every day
One day I know that all my dreams will come true
And I'll be rocking in porch rockers with you

Holiday
Bee Gees
Bee Gees
@[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.
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
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.
