This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
There was no more chemistry, exciting chords or harmonies,
Infectious riffs or melodies to sing.
Twas' not a single speck of magic there
In that tangled mess of moving air,
So we shut off all our amps and we called it quits.
And this old house grew quiet as the cars they pulled away,
In this uninspired ending of this uninspiring day.
And it got so awful quiet now except for passing cars
Or the hum of drunken discords creeping from the local bars.
Not another song, the music died,
Though our ears and fingers tried,
Our tired hearts could not provide a tune.
And was it true? Where we really through,
But I just began to sing what I wanted to.
D minor was the final chord and Kevin played it hard,
And it resonated down the hall and out into the yard.
And I remember thinking that we lost something that day
As I rolled up all my chords and put my guitar away.
Not another song, the music died,
Though our ears and fingers tried,
Our tired hearts could not provide a tune.
Infectious riffs or melodies to sing.
Twas' not a single speck of magic there
In that tangled mess of moving air,
So we shut off all our amps and we called it quits.
And this old house grew quiet as the cars they pulled away,
In this uninspired ending of this uninspiring day.
And it got so awful quiet now except for passing cars
Or the hum of drunken discords creeping from the local bars.
Not another song, the music died,
Though our ears and fingers tried,
Our tired hearts could not provide a tune.
And was it true? Where we really through,
But I just began to sing what I wanted to.
D minor was the final chord and Kevin played it hard,
And it resonated down the hall and out into the yard.
And I remember thinking that we lost something that day
As I rolled up all my chords and put my guitar away.
Not another song, the music died,
Though our ears and fingers tried,
Our tired hearts could not provide a tune.

@[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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
American Town

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 believe this is about their former guitarist, Kevin Glass. He died in a car accident in 1997.
