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.
Caught in the vein
Headed for the heart of pain
Memories and tears remain
And an old photograph of you and I
I know its not much but it gets me by
Life turns another page
But I don't feel lonely cuz I'm numb from pain
Your voice on the phone don't sound the same
I try to sleep late just to pass the day
It's a waste of time so I find a way
To hold you in my dreams
Some times its all I need
Someday you won't be so far from me
Till that day, you'll be the girl of my dreams
Here's to the nights
I thought I'd never miss
Smiles that were taken for granted
And the taste of your last kiss
The grief in our eyes
As we tried to hold back our goodbyes
Feels like I'm raining inside
But you're my blue skies
My perfect little lullaby
If times get rough
All I have to do is try
To hold you in my dreams
Some times its all I need
Someday you won't be so far from me
Till that day, you'll be the girl of my dreams
Headed for the heart of pain
Memories and tears remain
And an old photograph of you and I
I know its not much but it gets me by
Life turns another page
But I don't feel lonely cuz I'm numb from pain
Your voice on the phone don't sound the same
I try to sleep late just to pass the day
It's a waste of time so I find a way
To hold you in my dreams
Some times its all I need
Someday you won't be so far from me
Till that day, you'll be the girl of my dreams
Here's to the nights
I thought I'd never miss
Smiles that were taken for granted
And the taste of your last kiss
The grief in our eyes
As we tried to hold back our goodbyes
Feels like I'm raining inside
But you're my blue skies
My perfect little lullaby
If times get rough
All I have to do is try
To hold you in my dreams
Some times its all I need
Someday you won't be so far from me
Till that day, you'll be the girl of my dreams

@[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 song is so awesome... ive loved it since the first day i heard it (which was on dawson's creek actually)
