Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
My kind of guy isn't that ordinary
He has to have tattoos and piercings
and be a hardcore punk just like me
If he doesn't like Rancid and the Casualties
Then go ahead and say good bye to him for me
Chorus: If you're a mod, I don't want ya
If you're a prep, see ya later
If you're a poser, you're nothing but a loser
I need a hardcore punk who's just like me
I want him to be dyed and grungy
Sportin' bondage and band tees
He's got to be cool, but also an ass
That's my kind of guy I want nothing less
Chorus:
In the end he's got to be a sweetie
Not an ass, no not to me
I need respect, that's not asking much
If you've got these qualities
Then you're good for me
Chorus:
He has to have tattoos and piercings
and be a hardcore punk just like me
If he doesn't like Rancid and the Casualties
Then go ahead and say good bye to him for me
Chorus: If you're a mod, I don't want ya
If you're a prep, see ya later
If you're a poser, you're nothing but a loser
I need a hardcore punk who's just like me
I want him to be dyed and grungy
Sportin' bondage and band tees
He's got to be cool, but also an ass
That's my kind of guy I want nothing less
Chorus:
In the end he's got to be a sweetie
Not an ass, no not to me
I need respect, that's not asking much
If you've got these qualities
Then you're good for me
Chorus:

@[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.

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.
