@[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.
you have the same stubbornness as a hammerhead
don't need to get into it
when every which way is wrong
and every right is your own
and everything is either black or white
but even i know the in-betweens and outs
my lowly brain can comprehend
but if it's simple you want
then don't go looking for love
it'll complicate you in the end
i may be hollow, but i've had my fill
a vital love i wasn't afraid to spill
and in the morning when i'm hollow still
there wont be any room for us
i had the same stubbornness as my rival
wouldn't even compromise
when it was it was too even steven
didn't want to be eating
such a big piece of the humble pie
it was a hard lesson to learn then
but i wont go do that again
no if its easy i want
i wont go dishing at love
like its something i've got plenty of
i may be hollow, but i've had my fill
of vital love i wasn't afraid to spill
and in the morning when i'm hollower still
there won't be any room for us
i have the same attitude as my mother
and i think i'll see it out alone
it may be sweet to share a bed
but when you're fucking with my head
this stopping pit is now a no-go zone
i wanna love you, but it got too much
you have to build it out of stronger stuff
we might have something but it's not enough
and there isnt room for us
don't need to get into it
when every which way is wrong
and every right is your own
and everything is either black or white
but even i know the in-betweens and outs
my lowly brain can comprehend
but if it's simple you want
then don't go looking for love
it'll complicate you in the end
i may be hollow, but i've had my fill
a vital love i wasn't afraid to spill
and in the morning when i'm hollow still
there wont be any room for us
i had the same stubbornness as my rival
wouldn't even compromise
when it was it was too even steven
didn't want to be eating
such a big piece of the humble pie
it was a hard lesson to learn then
but i wont go do that again
no if its easy i want
i wont go dishing at love
like its something i've got plenty of
i may be hollow, but i've had my fill
of vital love i wasn't afraid to spill
and in the morning when i'm hollower still
there won't be any room for us
i have the same attitude as my mother
and i think i'll see it out alone
it may be sweet to share a bed
but when you're fucking with my head
this stopping pit is now a no-go zone
i wanna love you, but it got too much
you have to build it out of stronger stuff
we might have something but it's not enough
and there isnt room for us

“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.
