I think it's getting to the point
Where I can be myself again (I think)
It's getting to the point
Where we have almost made amends
I think it's the getting to the point
That is the hardest part
And if you call, I will answer
And if you fall, I'll pick you up
And if you court this disaster
I'll point you home
I'll point you home
You think I only think about you
When we're both in the same room (you think)
I'm only here to witness
The remains of love exhumed
You think we're here to play
A game of who loves more than whom
And if you call, I will answer
And if you fall, I'll pick you up
And if you court this disaster
You think it's only fair to do what's best for
You and you alone (you think)
It's only fair to do the same to me
When you're not home
I think it's time to make this something that is
More than only fair
So if you call, I will answer
And if you fall, I'll pick you up
And if you court this disaster
I'll point you home
But I'm warning you, don't ever do
Those crazy, messed-up things that you do
If you ever do
I promise you, I'll be the first to crucify you
Now it's time to prove that you've come back here to rebuild
Rebuild

Rebuild, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Rebuild, rebuild
Where I can be myself again (I think)
It's getting to the point
Where we have almost made amends
I think it's the getting to the point
That is the hardest part
And if you call, I will answer
And if you fall, I'll pick you up
And if you court this disaster
I'll point you home
I'll point you home
You think I only think about you
When we're both in the same room (you think)
I'm only here to witness
The remains of love exhumed
You think we're here to play
A game of who loves more than whom
And if you call, I will answer
And if you fall, I'll pick you up
And if you court this disaster
You think it's only fair to do what's best for
You and you alone (you think)
It's only fair to do the same to me
When you're not home
I think it's time to make this something that is

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.
Magical
Ed Sheeran
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.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
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.
I actually think there is a platonic level to this song. I see them as a former couple who have ended a deep relationship but must now move on to being "friends". He offers his eternal help and assistance to her but not without judgement and conditions -- the whole "first to crucify you". To me, this is not the blind acceptance of two lovers but rather the conscious and critical oversight of friends. These two are not lovers anymore but they still share a deep bond to each other. It is for that reason that I love the song because it shows a higher level of emotional committment, one that is beyond sex and the romantic. To me, the song is a ode to the ex-girlfriend/ex-wife with whom you can no longer "be with" but who will always be a part of your life.
