The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
From this day on,
I will be there for you.
From this day on,
The crosses that I'll bear,
I will now bear for you.
From this day on,
The choices that I'll make,
Are the choices for our unborn children's lives.
Oh, for the day has come,
When our hearts will beat as one.
From this day on,
My life will never part,
From what I see in you.
From this day on,
Vows taken from the heart,
I will be here for you.
From this day on,
These promises I make,
We're the fathers of our unborn children's lives.
Oh, for the day has come,
When our hearts will beat as one.
From this day on,
Your life won't be the same,
'Cause I'm here for you.
So take it all,
Take everything I own,
Cause it's here for you.
From this day on,
Our blood will never part,
We're the mothers of our unborn children's lives.
Oh, for the day has come,
When our hearts will beat as one.
From this day on,
Your life won't show a sigh,
Of what they've done to you.
From this day on,
Forgiveness springs from blame,
And it's here for you.
From this day on,
Our lives will never part,
It's the promise to our unborn children's lives.
Oh, for the day has come,
When our hearts will beat as one.
I will be there for you.
From this day on,
The crosses that I'll bear,
I will now bear for you.
From this day on,
The choices that I'll make,
Are the choices for our unborn children's lives.
Oh, for the day has come,
When our hearts will beat as one.
From this day on,
My life will never part,
From what I see in you.
From this day on,
Vows taken from the heart,
I will be here for you.
From this day on,
These promises I make,
We're the fathers of our unborn children's lives.
Oh, for the day has come,
When our hearts will beat as one.
From this day on,
Your life won't be the same,
'Cause I'm here for you.
So take it all,
Take everything I own,
Cause it's here for you.
From this day on,
Our blood will never part,
We're the mothers of our unborn children's lives.
Oh, for the day has come,
When our hearts will beat as one.
From this day on,
Your life won't show a sigh,
Of what they've done to you.
From this day on,
Forgiveness springs from blame,
And it's here for you.
From this day on,
Our lives will never part,
It's the promise to our unborn children's lives.
Oh, for the day has come,
When our hearts will beat as one.

@[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
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.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
Again.. no words. Extremely beautiful. The lyrics are pretty straightforward. Nevertheless beautiful. I love this song. It's a beautiful expression of what and how he feels about his significant other.
