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.
She's been around a couple years
Tasted 31 flavors there's only one
She really hates that would be vanilla
The blandest one don't make her scream
And that's what she likes to hear the most
Liza's been around the block
She's currently a femme bitch top
A giant step from old Louise
Now she's the one who's on the prey
She used to wear her hair short long
Determining her preference
She didn't like that dynamic
Trading in her flannel shirts
For six inch heels, latex skirts
She even bought herself some bras
Miss terrence, sellers akin
She's got more power feminine
She knows the power incites fear
And it's that fear
Which makes her wet
She's going to the Tribe 8 show
Plenty of boychicks to choose from
It's at the Calyx of Isis
She'll find a bottom young butch
She'll tell her
"I won't hurt you much
Unless of course
You want me to"
Tasted 31 flavors there's only one
She really hates that would be vanilla
The blandest one don't make her scream
And that's what she likes to hear the most
Liza's been around the block
She's currently a femme bitch top
A giant step from old Louise
Now she's the one who's on the prey
She used to wear her hair short long
Determining her preference
She didn't like that dynamic
Trading in her flannel shirts
For six inch heels, latex skirts
She even bought herself some bras
Miss terrence, sellers akin
She's got more power feminine
She knows the power incites fear
And it's that fear
Which makes her wet
She's going to the Tribe 8 show
Plenty of boychicks to choose from
It's at the Calyx of Isis
She'll find a bottom young butch
She'll tell her
"I won't hurt you much
Unless of course
You want me to"

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Holiday

@[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.

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

“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.
this dyke song isnt as good as the other dyke songs. no solos. louise is the bestest.
agreed, its too bland. Nothing special about this song, its kindah disapointing.
this shits all over louise
this song is basicly the last chapter in the liza&louise trilogy
here liza moves on from louise. were louise practicly made liza a nymphomaniac, liza is now out to do to a girl similer to what louise did to her
