This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
In open fields of wild flowers
She breathes the air and flies away
She thanks her Jesus for the daisies
And the roses in no simple language
Someday she'll understand
The meaning of it all
He's more than the laughter
Or the stars in the heaven
As close as a heartbeat
Or song on her lips
Someday she'll trust Him
And learn how to see Him
Someday He'll call her
And she will come running
She fall in His arms
The tears will fall down
And she'll pray
I want to fall in love with you
I want to fall in love with you
I want to fall in love with you
I want to fall in love with you
Sitting silent wearing Sunday best
The sermon echoes through the walls
A great salvation through it
Calls to the people
Who stare into nowhere
And can't feel the chains on their souls
He's more than the laughter
Or the stars in the heaven
As close as a heartbeat
Or song on her lips
Someday we'll trust Him
And learn how to see Him
Someday He'll call us
And we will come running
We'll fall in His arms
The tears will fall down
And we'll pray
I want to fall in love with you
I want to fall in love with you
I want to fall in love with you
I want to fall in love with you
We want to pray
It seems to easy to call You 'Savior'
Not close enough to call You 'God'
So as I sit and think of
The words I can mention
To show my devotion
I want to fall in love with you
I want to fall in love with you
I want to fall in love with you
I want to fall in love with you
She breathes the air and flies away
She thanks her Jesus for the daisies
And the roses in no simple language
Someday she'll understand
The meaning of it all
He's more than the laughter
Or the stars in the heaven
As close as a heartbeat
Or song on her lips
Someday she'll trust Him
And learn how to see Him
Someday He'll call her
And she will come running
She fall in His arms
The tears will fall down
And she'll pray
I want to fall in love with you
I want to fall in love with you
I want to fall in love with you
I want to fall in love with you
Sitting silent wearing Sunday best
The sermon echoes through the walls
A great salvation through it
Calls to the people
Who stare into nowhere
And can't feel the chains on their souls
He's more than the laughter
Or the stars in the heaven
As close as a heartbeat
Or song on her lips
Someday we'll trust Him
And learn how to see Him
Someday He'll call us
And we will come running
We'll fall in His arms
The tears will fall down
And we'll pray
I want to fall in love with you
I want to fall in love with you
I want to fall in love with you
I want to fall in love with you
We want to pray
It seems to easy to call You 'Savior'
Not close enough to call You 'God'
So as I sit and think of
The words I can mention
To show my devotion
I want to fall in love with you
I want to fall in love with you
I want to fall in love with you
I want to fall in love 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.

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,

“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
this song reminds me of one guy i knew. there was a huge campfire, round 3 a.m. and he just took the guitar and started singing this song. we all listened to it and watched the fire as he sang. very few people knew the words but at the end every one was going "i want to fall in love with you" with him. Grant, are you there?
this song talks about this girl who "thanks her Jesus for the daisies and the roses", she knows who Jesus is and that God is her Creator, but nothing more than that.
"someday she'll understand the meaning of it all" that Jesus is more than just "the laughter or the stars in the heavens" and she'll understand that He is "as close as a heartbeat or song on her lips"
He'll call her and she will come running to him and see Him not as just her Creator, but as her the Lover of her life and she will truly KNOW Him and fall in love with Him.
This gives me hope for some of my friends, that hopefully one day they will run to Him and see Him as more than just the One who watches over, and see Him as the One who wants to be part of our lives, He wants to be our whole life. I pray that someday they will fall in love with Him.
Best song in the WHOLE world :D God Bless†
this song is AWESOME, and its my personal song, it reminds me of my relationship with Jesus :)
I love that this song is a call back to what faith is all about - loving Jesus. It's not just about going to church and hearing sermons, it's about having the faith of a child and desire for a deep love for Christ.
@keepbabbling but it also says how people waste "a great salvation through it", because they are not interested in the truth on these words.
It seems too easy to call you "Savior", Not close enough to call you "God" So as I sit and think of words I can mention to show my devotion
my favourite lines.
One of these lyrics doesn't make sense
Someday He'll call her And she will come running She fall in His arms The tears will fall down And she'll pray I want to fall in love with you
If that stuff actually happens, then she already is in love with him so why is she praying for that to happen?
@smileyball 'cause she's pursuing Him already even not understanding. When she sees Him, she understand the meaning of it all
love love love love it, i love it when i hear it on way fm. (if you live in the southeast, try to find way fm on your radio, it's so awesome)
This has been my favorite song for a long time. I fell in love with it the first time I heard it, and I never get tired of it. Every time I listen to it, I notice something new about it. it's simply amazing. "someday we'll trust Him and learn how to see Him. someday He'll call us and we will come running, fall in His arms, the tears will fall down and we'll pray."
this is my fave JOC song. it's a beautiful song. and everytime i hear it, i sing along to it. i love it!
