@[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.
You get me going like a wind up toy
So pay attention to a broken boy
You got me going
Well I cannot stop it and if you keep me going
Gonna see me pop
I'm in love with what you do
The way that I'm attached with you
Self fulfilled and to a smile
The list could go for miles
(All the perfect things you do)
I know what you're thinking when you cry
(When you cry)
I know what you're thinking when you smile
(When you smile)
I know that you're just a little child
I know you know
(All the perfect things you do)
You've got me going like a grade school crush
My head is spinning and my face is flushed
You've got me going like a fast paced heart
And if you keep me going, gonna fall apart
I could write a thousand words
Useless nouns and needless verbs
I could shout a million times
Until the neighbors hear my cries
(All the perfect things you do)
I know what you're thinking when you cry
(When you cry)
I know what you're thinking when you smile
(When you smile)
I know that you're just a little child
I know you know
(All the perfect things you do)
You make me melt
I know what you're thinking when you cry
(When you cry)
I know what you're thinking when you smile
(When you smile)
I know that you're just a little child
I know you know
All the perfect things you do
So pay attention to a broken boy
You got me going
Well I cannot stop it and if you keep me going
Gonna see me pop
I'm in love with what you do
The way that I'm attached with you
Self fulfilled and to a smile
The list could go for miles
(All the perfect things you do)
I know what you're thinking when you cry
(When you cry)
I know what you're thinking when you smile
(When you smile)
I know that you're just a little child
I know you know
(All the perfect things you do)
You've got me going like a grade school crush
My head is spinning and my face is flushed
You've got me going like a fast paced heart
And if you keep me going, gonna fall apart
I could write a thousand words
Useless nouns and needless verbs
I could shout a million times
Until the neighbors hear my cries
(All the perfect things you do)
I know what you're thinking when you cry
(When you cry)
I know what you're thinking when you smile
(When you smile)
I know that you're just a little child
I know you know
(All the perfect things you do)
You make me melt
I know what you're thinking when you cry
(When you cry)
I know what you're thinking when you smile
(When you smile)
I know that you're just a little child
I know you know
All the perfect things you do

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.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield

I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Magical
Ed Sheeran

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“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 is another demo for the upcoming album. I'm not 100% sure about "The way the light attaches you, Cells that build into a smile" but I'm pretty sure its right.
