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.
(Blah blah blah blah blah)

Welcome to the block party
We ain't leavin' out nobody
We about to get it started
It's a block party
Block party
Welcome to the block party
We wanna see you move your body
We about to get it started
It's a block party
Block party
I wanna love your love
Gimme love, gimme all your love
Gimme love, gimme love, gimme all your love
I wanna love your love
This the girl I've been thinkin' of
Bring it on because I just can't get enough
(Yawn)
Y'all woke me up from nappin'
I thought I told ya I quit rappin'
But now it sounds like somethin's happenin'
Got my hands snappin’, toes tappin’
Okay, so I guess I'll play the captain
(Buckle up)
Now get your asses strapped in
Yeah, I keep the sweetest freak in Sakren
Time for some action
I ain't even actin'
Hey, want some satisfaction?
Twenty-five years, still got 'em packed in
Them other kids thought they had us backed in
Shit, better call the freakin' chaplain
Hey, they got it backwards like a strap chin
Still keep them moist, need a napkin
From Boston to Aspen
Welcome back Gabe Kaplan
Welcome to the block party
(Ha ha ha)
We ain't leavin' out nobody

Gimme love, gimme all your love
Gimme love, gimme love, gimme all your love
I wanna love your love
This the girl I've been thinkin' of
Bring it on because I just can't get enough
Reach out and touch my hand
I wanna feel that you understand
I wanna hear you scream so loud
That you rip this roof from the mother from the sound of it
Welcome to the block party
(Hey)
We ain't leavin' out nobody

@[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.

“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.
