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”
If you could really see
Then you would ask of me
She knew the well was far too deep
For him to wet his lips
But something told her that he spoke
Of so much more than all of this
When he spoke she wanted to believe
The things he said
But who could this man be
That she might never thirst again
Her heart raced
Could he be the one
We've waited for
The one we've waited for
Then you would ask of me
She knew the well was far too deep
For him to wet his lips
But something told her that he spoke
Of so much more than all of this
When he spoke she wanted to believe
The things he said
But who could this man be
That she might never thirst again
Her heart raced
Could he be the one
We've waited for
The one we've waited for

@[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.

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.
This is such a beautiful deep song that its hard to analyize, but It's deffinatly one of my favs!

Just read John chapter 4.
v. 10- Jesus answered her "If you knew the girft of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you the living water."
