@[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.
Tha Producer:
Take my hand lets go,
somewhere we can rest our souls.
We'll sit where it's warm.
You say look we're here alone.
[Chorus]
I was running in circles,
I hurt myself,
Just to find my purpose.
Everything was so worthless,
I didn't deserve this,
but to me you were perfect.
I'm scattered through this life.
If this is life I'll say good bye.
She's gone like an angel,
with wings let me burn tonight.
[Chorus]
Johnny 3 Tears:
I see me writin' on this paper.
Prayin' for some savior.
Wishin' to intake her and save her.
In a world so, so godless, so thoughtless,
I don't know how we wrought this,
all the love that you brought us.
It feels like I'm killin' myself,
just willin' myself,
just to pray for some help.
I'd give it all just to have, have your eternity,
'cause it's all that assures me.
It's worth all that hurts me.
I'd give you my heart,
and I'd let you just hold it.
I'd give you my soul,
but I already sold it.
On that day, that day,
I walked away in December.
I will always remember.
I'll regret it forever.
I remember brown eyes,
so sad and blue skies.
Turned to darkness and night.
I'm so sick of the fight.
I won't breathe unless you breathe,
won't bleed unless you bleed.
Won't be unless you be,
'til I'm gone and I can sleep.
[Chorus](x2)
Tha Producer:
I've gone away,
seen better times in yesterday. (I hurt myself)
It's hard to say,
that everything will be okay. (I hurt myself)
I've gone away,
seen better times in yesterday. (I hurt myself)
It's hard to say,
that everything will be okay. (I hurt myself)
Take my hand lets go,
somewhere we can rest our souls.
We'll sit where it's warm.
You say look we're here alone.
[Chorus]
I was running in circles,
I hurt myself,
Just to find my purpose.
Everything was so worthless,
I didn't deserve this,
but to me you were perfect.
I'm scattered through this life.
If this is life I'll say good bye.
She's gone like an angel,
with wings let me burn tonight.

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,

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

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.

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.
Recalling experiencing this song, I can say what it means.
It, in my opinion, means that he was trying very hard to be with the girl he wanted, who had suffered physically as much as he had emotionally.
He "was running in circles", round and round to find a way to her hurt and untrusting heart, but then that became a ephermal addiction, and he sought her heart as "his purpose" to live.
He must've found a way to find her, but then something might have happened. (i.e., another guy got to her first, the girl died, etc.)
He felt terrible and very very VERY depressed, as his many efforts had turned in vain.
He wasn't sure to say if everything would be okay, but this is now in the past.
