@[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 wish, I wish, I wish, I wish
A round and a bout..
Down the line I'm heir
To throne nowhere.
I wish, I wish, I wish, I wish
A mountain of doubt down the line I'm heir
to throne nowhere.
I'm scared.
'Cause,
Here's where the train ride ends.
Screaming, "is this your decision?"
We were the best of friends,
I'll go nowhere.
This isn't where,
This isn't where I found you
"Life is such a ball I run the world from city hall"
And I own you all.
In this,
In this Holiday Inn..
Well,
Welcome back race fans, it's Cavalcade sport time again.
Here at the jamboree,
Home of the hits.
How you doing Bob?
It's the last stretch
And my heart.. my heart stays in the lead
And we see first, second behind my heart is my mind
Third behind my mind is my body.
Fourth behind my body is my soul
And my heart stays in the lead.
Coming around the stretch..
That was a good one Bob.
No dutch.
"Home is where the heart it is..."
"On the bus!"
A round and a bout..
Down the line I'm heir
To throne nowhere.
I wish, I wish, I wish, I wish
A mountain of doubt down the line I'm heir
to throne nowhere.
I'm scared.
'Cause,
Here's where the train ride ends.
Screaming, "is this your decision?"
We were the best of friends,
I'll go nowhere.
This isn't where,
This isn't where I found you
"Life is such a ball I run the world from city hall"
And I own you all.
In this,
In this Holiday Inn..
Well,
Welcome back race fans, it's Cavalcade sport time again.
Here at the jamboree,
Home of the hits.
How you doing Bob?
It's the last stretch
And my heart.. my heart stays in the lead
And we see first, second behind my heart is my mind
Third behind my mind is my body.
Fourth behind my body is my soul
And my heart stays in the lead.
Coming around the stretch..
That was a good one Bob.
No dutch.
"Home is where the heart it is..."

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.
Punchline

Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
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.
I'm not sure (but I've heard) that a losing horse in a race was to be killed. If his heart's in first, his mind in second, body in third, and soul in fourth - then I think he's making a statement about losing everything if he follows his heart.
Then again, this is why I suck at writing lyrics...I think waaay too far into it.
