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”
Darling I want to make the word "love" new
cause it's been said so many times
And I don't want to use that old pick up line
And oft' I try to find the words to use but none capture the way I feel
When I gaze at your smile it seems like I'm out flying a sunset skyline
You've stolen my eyes, I stare at what I can't describe. I guess I tried
Look in my eyes. It's not hard to realize I'm the one who loves you
And though you'll never know my heart, my complete feelings
Just know you'll never be alone
Words keep cluttering in my mind as I persist in this futility
But no vocabulary could ever represent the beauty I see
You're everything and more than I could want you to be
And in your face what do I see?
It's like a rainbow in my mind, like when the daylight starts to die
Just like a landscape catching rain
or like a snow glazed mountain face
Like Charlie Chaplain, like clapping one hand,
my love can not be heard
And all those love songs, they come out all wrong
cause there's just no such word, my Annie
Look in my eyes.
It's not hard to realize I'm the one who loves you
And though you'll never know my heart, my full emotion
Just know you'll never be alone, my Annie
cause it's been said so many times
And I don't want to use that old pick up line
And oft' I try to find the words to use but none capture the way I feel
When I gaze at your smile it seems like I'm out flying a sunset skyline
You've stolen my eyes, I stare at what I can't describe. I guess I tried
Look in my eyes. It's not hard to realize I'm the one who loves you
And though you'll never know my heart, my complete feelings
Just know you'll never be alone
Words keep cluttering in my mind as I persist in this futility
But no vocabulary could ever represent the beauty I see
You're everything and more than I could want you to be
And in your face what do I see?
It's like a rainbow in my mind, like when the daylight starts to die
Just like a landscape catching rain
or like a snow glazed mountain face
Like Charlie Chaplain, like clapping one hand,
my love can not be heard
And all those love songs, they come out all wrong
cause there's just no such word, my Annie
Look in my eyes.
It's not hard to realize I'm the one who loves you
And though you'll never know my heart, my full emotion
Just know you'll never be alone, my Annie

@[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.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

“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.

“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 song is awesome and at the same time not that great. the lyrics are the best part [my opinion]. it just says something that happens everyday, not being able to express "love" with any other word, and in the end, just using the word "love" anyway.."I want to make the word "love" new cause it's been said so many times"..and knowing that it just isn't enough, and stuggling to say something
hah, i was just repeating the song. gosh, i guess it's pretty self explanatory
i feel the same way about a girl, nut theres no way for me to tell her.
i wish i could find her

"'My Annie' is a love song sung by the guitarist to his girlfriend" This could be the reason why its "not that great" :-) But i like it
"Look in my eyes. It's not hard to realize I'm the one who loves you.. And though you'll never know my heart, my full emotion .. Just know you'll never be alone." fuck. im speechless.. its amazing! its exactly how i feel, and probably alot of people ... wanting someone but you cant tell them.. wishing theyd look into your eyes and SEE!
adam hates these old lyrics. i can see why, but i still love these. "like charlie chaplain, like clapping one hand, my love cannot be heard"...
