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”
Isn't it nice living out in the country?
It's so nice for us to have a place
Off in our own space with no one to mind
There's Old Cranky the elderly lady next door
Who accuses us of burning down her barn
It's so different out here
One thing I've learned is that you never interfere
With Old Cranky's bales of hay
Isn't it nice living out in the country?
It's so nice for us to have a place
Off in our own space with no one to mind
There's Larry our alcoholic neighbor at ten a.m.
Asking for a ride to the liquor store
It's so different out here
One thing I've learned is that
You never buy Larry beer
Or else he'll bug you everyday
It's a long and winding road to our house
So if you come to see us take it slow
Take it slow anyway when you come
You will know why we stay so far
From the city lights
We don't miss a thing from the city
It's good to drop out you should try it
Come take a walk at night it's so quiet
You should try it
There's Martin and his friend with the Thug Life tattoo
Looking menacing while landscaping the lawn
It's so different out here
One thing I've learned is to be cautious of the deer
They don't care if they die
It's a long and winding road to our house
So if you come to see us take it slow
Take it slow
Anyway when you come you will know
Why we stay so far from the city lights
We don't miss a thing from the city
It's good to drop out you should try it
Come take a walk at night it's so quiet
You should try it

@[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.

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.
This song = my life exactly.
