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.
Baby I know it's time to go but
I've been meaning to tell you for some time
How special you are, the closeness I feel for you, girl
Oh, the one thing I need to know, is do you feel it too?
'Cause every night I close my eyes
And you're all I'm thinking about
'Cause it's so nice to go to sleep
With love under my pillow
It's so nice to know that someone cares
I hold you close to me
At night, 'til the morning light
The best of our words, are here with me
Love, under my pillow
Baby when I held your hand
Well you showed me that you cared
'Cause I felt my heart leap out from my head to my feet
I felt like I wanted to give you the world
If only it was mine to give
'Cause without your loving I can't live
It's so nice to go to sleep
With love under my pillow
It's so nice to know that someone cares
I hold you close to me
At night, 'til the morning light
I have all your words
Right here with me
Under my pillow
'Cause I no longer have to be alone - anymore
And I close my eyes and I shut the door
I turn up my favourite song
And baby I sing along
How can anything be so right
Nothin', nothin' at all is wrong
It's so nice to go to sleep
With love under my pillow
It's so nice... It's so nice...
I hold you close to me
At night, 'til the morning light
The best of our words, are here with me
Under my pillow
I got your words lying under my pillow
I got them all under my pillow
I got your words lying under my pillow
I've been meaning to tell you for some time
How special you are, the closeness I feel for you, girl
Oh, the one thing I need to know, is do you feel it too?
'Cause every night I close my eyes
And you're all I'm thinking about
'Cause it's so nice to go to sleep
With love under my pillow
It's so nice to know that someone cares
I hold you close to me
At night, 'til the morning light
The best of our words, are here with me
Love, under my pillow
Baby when I held your hand
Well you showed me that you cared
'Cause I felt my heart leap out from my head to my feet
I felt like I wanted to give you the world
If only it was mine to give
'Cause without your loving I can't live
It's so nice to go to sleep
With love under my pillow
It's so nice to know that someone cares
I hold you close to me
At night, 'til the morning light
I have all your words
Right here with me
Under my pillow
'Cause I no longer have to be alone - anymore
And I close my eyes and I shut the door
I turn up my favourite song
And baby I sing along
How can anything be so right
Nothin', nothin' at all is wrong
It's so nice to go to sleep
With love under my pillow
It's so nice... It's so nice...
I hold you close to me
At night, 'til the morning light
The best of our words, are here with me
Under my pillow
I got your words lying under my pillow
I got them all under my pillow
I got your words lying under my pillow

@[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.

Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
