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.
Lovely is this night
Evening falls nothing I do behold
Moments of childhood days come back
A few precious seconds
I fly out shining beyond the moon
My beloved star always inviting me
Born of secrecy my morning star
Dear Majesty oh, please look at me
Speak the truth, my dear
From where come those tears
Your soul I hear, it sings in silence
Utterly alone
Riddles in your eyes, jewels from afar
Tell, the evening sky, who we really are
Dear Majesty do not plague yourself
Do not turn your mind to the dark
Silence speaks to us, so sush let it be
Angel of my dawn, take me by the hand
And your morning star will arise again
Evening falls nothing I do behold
Moments of childhood days come back
A few precious seconds
I fly out shining beyond the moon
My beloved star always inviting me
Born of secrecy my morning star
Dear Majesty oh, please look at me
Speak the truth, my dear
From where come those tears
Your soul I hear, it sings in silence
Utterly alone
Riddles in your eyes, jewels from afar
Tell, the evening sky, who we really are
Dear Majesty do not plague yourself
Do not turn your mind to the dark
Silence speaks to us, so sush let it be
Angel of my dawn, take me by the hand
And your morning star will arise again

@[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.

He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Page

Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
