@[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.
A one, two
There is a fine line
Between recklessness and courage
It's about time
You understood which road to take
It's a fine line
When your decision makes a difference
Get it wrong, you'll be making a big mistake
[Chorus:]
Come on brother
All is forgiven
We all cried when you were driven away
Come on brother
Everything is better
Everything is better
When you come home and stay
Whatever's more important to you
You've got to choose what you want to do
Whatever's more important to be
That's the view that you've got to see
There is a long way
Between chaos and creation
If you don't say
Which one of these you're gonna choose
It's a long way
And in every contradiction
Seems to say
It's a game you are bound to lose
[Chorus]
Come on back, come on back
Come on back to me
It's a fine line
It's a fine line
Whatever's more important to you
It's a fine line
You've got to choose what you want to do
It's a fine line
Whatever's more important to be
It's a fine line
Well, that's the view that you've got to see
It's a fine line
It's a fine line
It's a fine line
It's a fine line
It's a fine line
It's a fine line
There is a fine line
Between recklessness and courage
It's about time
You understood which road to take
It's a fine line
When your decision makes a difference
Get it wrong, you'll be making a big mistake
[Chorus:]
Come on brother
All is forgiven
We all cried when you were driven away
Come on brother
Everything is better
Everything is better
When you come home and stay
Whatever's more important to you
You've got to choose what you want to do
Whatever's more important to be
That's the view that you've got to see
There is a long way
Between chaos and creation
If you don't say
Which one of these you're gonna choose
It's a long way
And in every contradiction
Seems to say
It's a game you are bound to lose
[Chorus]
Come on back, come on back
Come on back to me
It's a fine line
It's a fine line
Whatever's more important to you
It's a fine line
You've got to choose what you want to do
It's a fine line
Whatever's more important to be
It's a fine line
Well, that's the view that you've got to see
It's a fine line
It's a fine line
It's a fine line
It's a fine line
It's a fine line
It's a fine line

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.

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

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.

“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.
feel like he's totally talkin to john lennon in this song. which makes the story all that more poigniant. and one of the reasons why i like this album alot.
