@[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.
Dear sarah shu,
I leave for you
All I knew about this job
On microcassette for further review
What it meant to me
How you'll make it dear, hopefully
It's dangerous here
Yes it's dangerous here
Peer round corners with dental mirrors,
Heed the threats, taking cautionary measures,
In the end, it is love
You'll have to learn to survive
Dear sarah shu,
I leave for you
All I knew about this job
On palmcorder for future review
Your office will flood every night,
It's water, don't try to fight it
Suspend all your files using
My system of hanging wires
Break apart what I connected
Show what I only suggested
'cause in the end it was love
I had to learn to survive
Picture me by the window sill
Wrapped in copper wire, my autumn sleeves,
With torn up directives
Spread round the floor like shoreham leaves
Picture me locking office door, now
Kneeling down on the floor,
Screaming: â??protection,
I can make it, I can make it!â??
Peer round corners with dental mirrors,
Heed the threats, taking cautionary measures,
But in the end, it is love
You'll have to learn to survive
So long, sarah shu,
Farewell to you,
Stay calm, stay sweet,
Regards from the other side of the teeth
Break apart what I connected
Show what I only suggested
'cause in the end it was love
We had to learn to survive
I leave for you

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
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/
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
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.
If both of the "torn file" and the "locked office door" verses are about his own file room (he doesn't make that clear), then he's saying that he's full of shit. He suggested to her a coping mechanism, and then turned around and did a number on himself by completely destroying his own suggeseted defensive mechanism. Maybe he's letting her know that although he puts on a calm front, he is/was really distraught over the situation.
I go back and forth between two interpretations - one in which he's expressing a certain "It sucks, I wrecked your shop, but you're gonna be ok." OR "I know it seemed like I handled this in stride, but in reality it really screwed me up...just in case you didn't know." Both are equally sad. Choose your poision.
