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 remember thinking 'bout forever
Sitting there with you by the river
We danced in the little lights
And fell for the first time
I remember telling you I loved you
The Northern star rising above you
And in that moment I, thought every dream
Would come true
Oh, but, some just never do
Love comes in circles
And love takes it's own time
Bending and breaking, not taking a straight line
I never knew, I never loved timeless and true
Oh, I did, yeah I did with you.
Oh, I did, I did with you.
Through the years I just kept on believing
Had to be a plan or a reason
But Heaven was silent and life just kept moving along
'Till my heart knew the moment was gone
Love comes in circles
And love takes it's own time
Bending and breaking, not taking a straight line
I never knew, I never loved timeless and true
Oh, I did, yeah I did with you.
Love is the reason why
Miracles never die
They just live on and on
Like a song, like a song
In the hearts of ones you leave behind
Ooh, yeah
Love comes in circles
And love takes it's own time
Bending and breaking, not taking a straight line
I never knew, I never loved timeless and true
Oh, I did, yeah I did with you.
Oh, I did, yeah I did with you.
Sitting there with you by the river
We danced in the little lights
And fell for the first time
I remember telling you I loved you
The Northern star rising above you
And in that moment I, thought every dream
Would come true
Oh, but, some just never do
Love comes in circles
And love takes it's own time
Bending and breaking, not taking a straight line
I never knew, I never loved timeless and true
Oh, I did, yeah I did with you.
Oh, I did, I did with you.
Through the years I just kept on believing
Had to be a plan or a reason
But Heaven was silent and life just kept moving along
'Till my heart knew the moment was gone
Love comes in circles
And love takes it's own time
Bending and breaking, not taking a straight line
I never knew, I never loved timeless and true
Oh, I did, yeah I did with you.
Love is the reason why
Miracles never die
They just live on and on
Like a song, like a song
In the hearts of ones you leave behind
Ooh, yeah
Love comes in circles
And love takes it's own time
Bending and breaking, not taking a straight line
I never knew, I never loved timeless and true
Oh, I did, yeah I did with you.
Oh, I did, yeah I did with you.

@[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.

Just A Little Lovin'

I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Amazing

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.
Lady Antebellum may be busy readying the release of their sixth studio album, 747, but that doesn’t mean the country trio has stopped writing.
In fact, it’s quite the opposite. Their newest song, “I Did with You,” has just been released on iTunes and will be featured in the film The Best of Me, having been featured in the newly released trailer for the movie last week.
The soft ballad recalls previous Lady Antebellum hits like “Just a Kiss” and “Dancin’ Away with My Heart,” showcasing Hillary Scott and Charles Kelley’s alternating verses and spot-on harmonies.
