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.
Ohh baby
You been leaving every night at the very same time
You claim you've been going to work
But I ain't seen one damn dime babe
Does this job require that you I bring a night gown trim in lace
Cause the one that I just bought for you disappeared without a trace
Late at night I hold my pillow tight
And I wished that it was you
I'm up till 6:00 when you turned the lock
Feeling like I'm abused
Caused baby I think you doing me wrong
Fee fie foe fum
Got a feeling you've been creeping with someone
How could you do this to me
Thought that you would really love me
Fee fie foe fum
Got a feeling you've been creeping with someone
How could you do this to me
Thought that you would really love me
Listen baby
How could you try to lay me like I was your fool
Why stray if you want to play
Baby girl you go to move
Someone called me last night
He didn't leave his name
All he said to me was watch your back
Cause your girl is playing games
Late at night I hold my pillow tight
And I wish that it was you
I'm up till 6:00
When you turn the lock
Feel like I've been abused
Cause you got me thinking
You doing me wrong
Fee fie foe fum
Got a feeling you've been creeping with someone
How could you do this to me
Thought that you would really love me
You been leaving every night at the very same time
You claim you've been going to work
But I ain't seen one damn dime babe
Does this job require that you I bring a night gown trim in lace
Cause the one that I just bought for you disappeared without a trace
Late at night I hold my pillow tight
And I wished that it was you
I'm up till 6:00 when you turned the lock
Feeling like I'm abused
Caused baby I think you doing me wrong
Fee fie foe fum
Got a feeling you've been creeping with someone
How could you do this to me
Thought that you would really love me
Fee fie foe fum
Got a feeling you've been creeping with someone
How could you do this to me
Thought that you would really love me
Listen baby
How could you try to lay me like I was your fool
Why stray if you want to play
Baby girl you go to move
Someone called me last night
He didn't leave his name
All he said to me was watch your back
Cause your girl is playing games
Late at night I hold my pillow tight
And I wish that it was you
I'm up till 6:00
When you turn the lock
Feel like I've been abused
Cause you got me thinking
You doing me wrong
Fee fie foe fum
Got a feeling you've been creeping with someone
How could you do this to me
Thought that you would really love me

Holiday

@[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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
Page

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.
Fee Fie Fo Fum is a powerful song about a man who has suspicions about his woman cheating on him. I really like the lyrics. K-Ci & JoJo really do write lyrics that come from the heart and I think that's what made this song so beautiful.
