@[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 left in the morning
You left without a word
Did you get what you came for?
Is this what I deserve?
Oh I know
The silence was the loudest thing
I've ever heard
Where do we stand?
What am I supposed to do?
Give me the clearest indication
I'm not alone with you
Reach out your hand
In a world I thought I knew
I need the clearest indication
The clearest indication from you
Did we have all we wanted
And let it slip away in time?
Like a country divided
Fifty one to forty nine.
Years ago
I suppose we just can't seem to make up our minds
Where do we stand?
What am I supposed to do?
Give me the clearest indication I'm not alone with you
Reach out your hand
In a world I thought I knew
I need the clearest indication
The clearest indication from you
Oh times like these it's hard to see
With any kind of clarity
What's the point of wondering anymore?
So much I just can't figure out
I'd love to know without a doubt
For sure, for sure
Where do we stand?
What am I supposed to do?
Give me the clearest indication I'm not alone with you
Reach out your hand
In a world I thought I knew
I need the clearest indication
The clearest indication from you (x4)
From you.

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.
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

“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.
It's obvious that this song can be interpreted in two ways, but I believe that it is largely about Newfoundland independence. It wouldn't exactly be out of context for Great Big Sea to write about this, and the "like a country divided 51 to 49" line is the most obvious reference to the matter that I can think of. Also, notice in the music video the shirt that Newfoundland actor Allan Hawco is wearing. If that's not a shoutout to the Newfoundlanders, I don't know what is.
