@[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.
There's a shadow on the terrace
A snow dance for the living
There's heavy weather on the way
I heard it on the news.
And life's a tough principal who won't reward the losers
Your name is on the tea-cup
There's nothing I can do.
But to wish you'd think about me before you go to sleep
And I wish you the best there is before you go to sleep.
There are tears without the colour
A million seas with water
An ocean full of people where shattered hearts can go.
And love's a golden ripple where answers are so simple
But the explanations are very hard to do.
And I wish you'd think about me before you go to sleep
And I wish you the best there is before you go to sleep
Go to sleep.
A snow dance for the living
There's heavy weather on the way
I heard it on the news.
And life's a tough principal who won't reward the losers
Your name is on the tea-cup
There's nothing I can do.
But to wish you'd think about me before you go to sleep
And I wish you the best there is before you go to sleep.
There are tears without the colour
A million seas with water
An ocean full of people where shattered hearts can go.
And love's a golden ripple where answers are so simple
But the explanations are very hard to do.
And I wish you'd think about me before you go to sleep
And I wish you the best there is before you go to sleep
Go to sleep.

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,

“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.
i think it's about unrequited love. she's in love but he won't love her back and so all she can do is wish that he thinks about her before he goes to sleep. well, this is just my interpretation and ic ould be dead wrong...
