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.
At 1:00 AM I'm home while writing you
It's almost winter
But it's warmer than June
With only five hours away from here
And a trip I'm looking forward to
I think I might be seeing you soon
See you soon
That morning I woke up up on Sunday
Next to tree tops
Off of orange
Across the way
Happy birthday
I'm happy that you're here with me
A home with only the two of us
Their's no other place I'd rather be
I'd rather be
I've said it all
Every word I mean
And I just want you back
I miss you
So wherever you're at
I'll make you see (I will make you see)
That I just want you back (You back)
I miss you
Miss you
Miss you
Miss you
Since I've met you
It's all seemed right
Now I'm longing
For that November night
I've said it all
Every word I mean
And I just want you back
I miss you
So wherever you're at
I'll make you see (I will make you see)
That I just want you back (You back)
I miss you
Miss you
Miss you
Miss you
It's almost winter
But it's warmer than June
With only five hours away from here
And a trip I'm looking forward to
I think I might be seeing you soon
See you soon
That morning I woke up up on Sunday
Next to tree tops
Off of orange
Across the way
Happy birthday
I'm happy that you're here with me
A home with only the two of us
Their's no other place I'd rather be
I'd rather be
I've said it all
Every word I mean
And I just want you back
I miss you
So wherever you're at
I'll make you see (I will make you see)
That I just want you back (You back)
I miss you
Miss you
Miss you
Miss you
Since I've met you
It's all seemed right
Now I'm longing
For that November night
I've said it all
Every word I mean
And I just want you back
I miss you
So wherever you're at
I'll make you see (I will make you see)
That I just want you back (You back)
I miss you
Miss you
Miss you
Miss 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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
eeep. the bad grammar in this song kind of irks me ['so wherever you're at]...but i really like the song.
This song is really cool...and the lyrics are really good and she has a great voice so its all great!
I'm not much for female vocalists, but I think this song is really freaking good.
I love this song. I really do. She has such a phenomenal voice!!! I really didn't mind the bad grammer I was just so happy to find the lyrics to this song. It is such a catchy beautiful song! I mean I think the meaning is obvious, its just a good song!!! Hahaha, I think I repeated myself a little too much, I hope you get the point.
she has such an incredible voice. the lyrics remind me of how i feel of my boyfriend (yup, today's even his birthday) and it's catchy but not in a sugarpop way.
i think this is such a cute song. i love her voice...i like trying to sing along and pretend my voice is as pretty as hers.
i think this is such a cute song. i love her voice...i like trying to sing along and pretend my voice is as pretty as hers.

"I've said it all, every word I mean, and I just want you back. I miss you."
