@[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.
As we walk together through the autumn, nearing winter
Through the dying leaves and trees we call our home and native land
You say you don't believe a thing I say, I say you don't believe a thing
You say you can't believe how I don't understand
But I know
That you will be waiting
Oh, I know
That you will be waiting
Oh, I know
You will be waiting
Waiting there for me
You say you cannot live with me, you need your own identity
And now we air our laundry on national TV
And so you hate my arrogance, my smothering and sitting on the fence
But I'm afraid of the hard permanence of letting you go free
But I know
That you will be waiting
Oh, I know
That you will be waiting
Oh, I know
You will be waiting
Waiting there for me
I'm so sick of fighting and that effigy you're lighting looks
An awful lot like someone whose name I just can't quite place
And though you say it's not supposed to be me or any entity
Still through the flames and smoke I see I recognize that face
But I know
That you will be waiting
Oh, I know
That you will be waiting
Oh, I know
You will be waiting
Waiting there for me
You were someone who would
Always tell me things I don't know
And tell me where to go
There I'll always go
Always go there
Whether or not you're waiting
I don't care if you'll be waiting
But please say that you will be waiting there for me
Don't you ever leave me
Don't leave
Through the dying leaves and trees we call our home and native land
You say you don't believe a thing I say, I say you don't believe a thing
You say you can't believe how I don't understand
But I know
That you will be waiting
Oh, I know
That you will be waiting
Oh, I know
You will be waiting
Waiting there for me
You say you cannot live with me, you need your own identity
And now we air our laundry on national TV
And so you hate my arrogance, my smothering and sitting on the fence
But I'm afraid of the hard permanence of letting you go free
But I know
That you will be waiting
Oh, I know
That you will be waiting
Oh, I know
You will be waiting
Waiting there for me
I'm so sick of fighting and that effigy you're lighting looks
An awful lot like someone whose name I just can't quite place
And though you say it's not supposed to be me or any entity
Still through the flames and smoke I see I recognize that face
But I know
That you will be waiting
Oh, I know
That you will be waiting
Oh, I know
You will be waiting
Waiting there for me
You were someone who would
Always tell me things I don't know
And tell me where to go
There I'll always go
Always go there
Whether or not you're waiting
I don't care if you'll be waiting
But please say that you will be waiting there for me
Don't you ever leave me
Don't leave

Page

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.
A sad song about a couple that is breaking up. She can't stand certain things about him and needs to be on her own, find her own identity. She is angry and "burning him in effigy" (although it seems that she doesn't admit that she's doing so). He can't stand the fighting but can't imagine them acutally breaking up. In the chorus he clings to the hope that she will always be there in the end. And in the end, he is begging her not to leave.
