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.
Tonight you have no worries with me here
My time, my time is as free as your tears
Let them rise with the wind and fall on me tonight,
You have no worries, no worries tonight
Remember the woman who locked herself into a lonely room
'Cause she, she thought that she had no one to make her feel like nothing less than a precious jewel
But, you know that you are: precious as the morning sun
You know that you are: precious as the deep blue sea
Baby, you know you're the one most precious to me!
You, you are the one I bet my love on
For my faith, for my faith I have nothing to show...
But a wonderful taste in my mouth from loving you
From loving you
Precious as the morning sun
Precious as the deep blue sea
Baby, you know you're the one most precious to me!
Precious as the morning sun
Precious as the deep blue sea
Baby, you know you're the one most precious to me!
Remember the man who selfishly gave to a chosen few
'Cause he, he thought the world owed him something too
Make him feel like something more than a simple ol fool
You made me feel: precious as the morning sun
You said that I was: precious as the deep blue sea
Baby you know you're theone most precious to me!
Precious! Precious! Precious! Precious!
My time, my time is as free as your tears
Let them rise with the wind and fall on me tonight,
You have no worries, no worries tonight
Remember the woman who locked herself into a lonely room
'Cause she, she thought that she had no one to make her feel like nothing less than a precious jewel
But, you know that you are: precious as the morning sun
You know that you are: precious as the deep blue sea
Baby, you know you're the one most precious to me!
You, you are the one I bet my love on
For my faith, for my faith I have nothing to show...
But a wonderful taste in my mouth from loving you
From loving you
Precious as the morning sun
Precious as the deep blue sea
Baby, you know you're the one most precious to me!
Precious as the morning sun
Precious as the deep blue sea
Baby, you know you're the one most precious to me!
Remember the man who selfishly gave to a chosen few
'Cause he, he thought the world owed him something too
Make him feel like something more than a simple ol fool
You made me feel: precious as the morning sun
You said that I was: precious as the deep blue sea
Baby you know you're theone most precious to me!
Precious! Precious! Precious! Precious!

@[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.

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.
