@[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.
Started with an oridinary kiss
What she thought was permanent
was a momentary bliss
she wants to go to him but
no, she don't see no ring
'cause she knows she ain't got time
for that kind of thing
movin' on
what she said now
"miss her when she's gone"
she said she wants to go to california
that's what she wants the most
she don't need no discipline
she's leaving maryland
dreams are on the west coast
so she goes from momentary bliss
got to find something better than this
and even if she tries to change she'll be right
back here someday
'cause her heart and head don't ever feel the same
What she thought was permanent
was a momentary bliss
she wants to go to him but
no, she don't see no ring
'cause she knows she ain't got time
for that kind of thing
movin' on
what she said now
"miss her when she's gone"
she said she wants to go to california
that's what she wants the most
she don't need no discipline
she's leaving maryland
dreams are on the west coast
so she goes from momentary bliss
got to find something better than this
and even if she tries to change she'll be right
back here someday
'cause her heart and head don't ever feel the same

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.

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

“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.

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.
My aunt was best friends with the band in high school, and she says this song may have been written about her. which is pretty amazing! =) but she never made it to cali. but did make it out of maryland lol.
