@[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.
I almost dialed your number when I
Thought the coast was clear
'Cause it's looked up for so long
At me
And said call me please
Well the place was closing
And the countergirl turned to sign the cooks
Were gettin' their coats
And I got mine, and said good night
To the sea, of empty seats
Chorus 1:
And if I am a sailor
You are the warm golf wind
And you've blown into this little port
And roused my dreams again
I see my mouth moving when I talk to you
I do, I see my lips and I feel like a kid
Who can't keep something in
'Cause I've been under the paper you write along
You left your impression on after you'd gone on me
Marks only I can see
Chorus 2:
And if I am a sailor
You are the warm golf wind
And you've blown into this little port
And roused my dreams again
When we say sometime later
You know that we don't say when
You have blown into this little port
And roused my dreams again
I almost dialed your number when I
Thought the coast was clear
'Cause it's looked up for so long
At me
And said call me please
(Chorus 2)
You've roused my dreams
Sailor... to him
Thought the coast was clear
'Cause it's looked up for so long
At me
And said call me please
Well the place was closing
And the countergirl turned to sign the cooks
Were gettin' their coats
And I got mine, and said good night
To the sea, of empty seats
Chorus 1:
And if I am a sailor
You are the warm golf wind
And you've blown into this little port
And roused my dreams again
I see my mouth moving when I talk to you
I do, I see my lips and I feel like a kid
Who can't keep something in
'Cause I've been under the paper you write along
You left your impression on after you'd gone on me
Marks only I can see
Chorus 2:
And if I am a sailor
You are the warm golf wind
And you've blown into this little port
And roused my dreams again
When we say sometime later
You know that we don't say when
You have blown into this little port
And roused my dreams again
I almost dialed your number when I
Thought the coast was clear
'Cause it's looked up for so long
At me
And said call me please
(Chorus 2)
You've roused my dreams
Sailor... to him

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.
I see it as a song where someone wants to move on, but they miss the excitement of an old flame. They know that nothing good can come of a reunion, but they crave the return, almost like an addiction.
