@[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.
You're no less than perfect
But you're much more than real
You're untouchable
How does it make you feel
And I'm waiting in line to be near you
And I can't believe my eyes
The kisses are all blown to you every time
[Chorus]
But I'd rather leave you
Than see through the fantasy
And I'd rather stay shy and get high
On what could be
I don't wanna know what you do, where you go
I don't wanna know, who you really are
A glistening smile
A twinkle in your eye
Well I can smile like that
Just give me a try
And I've traveled around just to hear you
And your songs don't leave my mind
So tell me what should I do
To get you to say hi
[Chorus]
And I've traveled around just to hear you
And your songs don't leave my mind
So tell me what should I do
[Chorus]
But you're much more than real
You're untouchable
How does it make you feel
And I'm waiting in line to be near you
And I can't believe my eyes
The kisses are all blown to you every time
[Chorus]
But I'd rather leave you
Than see through the fantasy
And I'd rather stay shy and get high
On what could be
I don't wanna know what you do, where you go
I don't wanna know, who you really are
A glistening smile
A twinkle in your eye
Well I can smile like that
Just give me a try
And I've traveled around just to hear you
And your songs don't leave my mind
So tell me what should I do
To get you to say hi
[Chorus]
And I've traveled around just to hear you
And your songs don't leave my mind
So tell me what should I do
[Chorus]

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield

I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
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.
Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
To me, it's about seeing someone as being perfect and staying away, but being happier that way, because if you try it, it might be proved as less than perfect.
