Got to get down, down on my knees
Got to get down, down on my knees
Doo-doo-doo, doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo
Going down on love
Going down on love
Going down, going down, going down
When the real thing goes wrong
And you can't get it on
And your love, she has gone
And you got to carry on
And you shoot out the light
Ain't coming home for the night
You know you got to, got to, got to pay the price
Somebody please, please help me
You know I'm drowning in the sea of hatred
I got to get down, down on my knees
I got to get down, down on my knees
Doo-doo-doo, doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo
Going down on love
Going down on love
Going down, going down, going down
Something precious and rare
Disappears in thin air
And it seems so unfair
Nothing doin' nowhere
Well, you burn all your boats
And you sow your wild oats
Well, you know, you know, you know the price is right
Got to get down, down on my knees
Got to get down, down on my knees
Got to get down, down on my knees
Got to get down, down on my knees
Got to get down, down on my knees
Doo-doo-doo, doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo
Going down on love
Going down on love
Going down, going down, going down
When the real thing goes wrong
And you can't get it on
And your love, she has gone
And you got to carry on
And you shoot out the light
Ain't coming home for the night
You know you got to, got to, got to pay the price
Somebody please, please help me
You know I'm drowning in the sea of hatred
I got to get down, down on my knees
I got to get down, down on my knees
Doo-doo-doo, doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo
Going down on love
Going down on love
Going down, going down, going down
Something precious and rare
Disappears in thin air
And it seems so unfair
Nothing doin' nowhere
Well, you burn all your boats
And you sow your wild oats
Well, you know, you know, you know the price is right
Got to get down, down on my knees
Got to get down, down on my knees
Got to get down, down on my knees
Got to get down, down on my knees

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”
Holiday
Bee Gees

@[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.
Magical

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.

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.
There is a funny word play in this song. "going DOWN on love". During one of his infamous art exhibitions someone did ask him why so many of his drawings had him 'going down' on the female figure (Yoko). He answered very honestly and simply, as usual, "Because I like it."
Anyway, this song is so odd sounding to start with that it usually gets pushed back as an obscure entry in John's songbook. I didn't care for it at first either. But then I discovered that it stuck with me. Like the 'Mind Games" album it is the production values that hurt the song. John was never as attentive in the studio as Paul and tended to rush just to get it done. The production values on this song are better than anything on the "Mind Games" album, but they are still not as strong as they could be. John is simply lazy. Nevertheless I find a very Beatle-like quality to the underlying song that a more strict production and mixing schedule would correct.
The lyrics are definitely about marital fighting and the eventual price you pay - going down on love.
