@[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 turn on the tap and run some water
Flick a little switch on the wall
I'm hoping you remember what I taught ya
Hoping you remember me at all
(Chorus)
I'm strong but I feel like a mouse when you're gone
Yes, and I'm, weak, but I'll take on the world when you're here
With me, with me
Can't you see you're in the wrong place
Won't you please face it and come home
When I think about your sweet face
I can't wait for you to come home
I can see you've got a real taste
for that champagne, but it's all gone
So come home
The kettle's on
I've got a little something on my mind
To keep it to myself isn't really very kind
Pouring out my heart isn't usually my style
But you gave me an inch so I'm gonna take a mile
You see
(Chorus)
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Can't you see you're in the wrong place
Won't you please face it and come home
When I think about your sweet face
I can't wait for you to come home
Can't you see you're in the wrong place
Won't you please face it and come home
When I think about your sweet face
I can't wait for you to come
Flick a little switch on the wall
I'm hoping you remember what I taught ya
Hoping you remember me at all
(Chorus)
I'm strong but I feel like a mouse when you're gone
Yes, and I'm, weak, but I'll take on the world when you're here
With me, with me
Can't you see you're in the wrong place
Won't you please face it and come home
When I think about your sweet face
I can't wait for you to come home
I can see you've got a real taste
for that champagne, but it's all gone
So come home
The kettle's on
I've got a little something on my mind
To keep it to myself isn't really very kind
Pouring out my heart isn't usually my style
But you gave me an inch so I'm gonna take a mile
You see
(Chorus)
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Can't you see you're in the wrong place
Won't you please face it and come home
When I think about your sweet face
I can't wait for you to come home
Can't you see you're in the wrong place
Won't you please face it and come home
When I think about your sweet face
I can't wait for you to come

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.
Magical

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 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.
Page
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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 one's a bit self-explanatory, eh? Very pretty musicwise though. And very cute lyricwise. ;O
