@[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.
I need a lover
Who keeps me warm inside
She can discover
Anything she likes
She can pray that she could break a lot of things
Like my heart
I'm sinking slowly
I see your face
It's everywhere
Love can be so mean but I don't even care
So I pray for the day you'll come back to me it's not right
Don't be afraid
I'm gonna make everything ok
Tell me you'll stay
I never wanted us to break
You'll find your way
You could have anything at all
So find your way
I need you lover
'Cause you mean that much to me
Girl do you wonder
What it all could be
True romance
We could dance our lives away it's so right
Don't be afraid
I'm gonna make everything ok
Tell me you'll stay
I never wanted us to break
You'll find your way
You could have anything at all
So find your way
Don't be afraid
I'm gonna make everything ok
Tell me you'll stay
I never wanted us to break
You'll find your way
You could have anything
So find your way
Who keeps me warm inside
She can discover
Anything she likes
She can pray that she could break a lot of things
Like my heart
I'm sinking slowly
I see your face
It's everywhere
Love can be so mean but I don't even care
So I pray for the day you'll come back to me it's not right
Don't be afraid
I'm gonna make everything ok
Tell me you'll stay
I never wanted us to break
You'll find your way
You could have anything at all
So find your way
I need you lover
'Cause you mean that much to me
Girl do you wonder
What it all could be
True romance
We could dance our lives away it's so right
Don't be afraid
I'm gonna make everything ok
Tell me you'll stay
I never wanted us to break
You'll find your way
You could have anything at all
So find your way
Don't be afraid
I'm gonna make everything ok
Tell me you'll stay
I never wanted us to break
You'll find your way
You could have anything
So find your way

“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
a sad song about him promising to take care of someone he's broken up with. And of course, trying to reconcile.
