@[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 want you closer
I want you closer
I want you in my dirty hands
I want to touch you in your body, gonna let your baby, down
I want you every night I please
Want you to bend, want you to tease
Want you to take me down on your knees
Wanna let your baby down
And you can take me higher in your zone
If you tell me your name, I'll take you home
And you can take my pain, I've got loads
I wanna let your baby down.
(Lisa's verse)
I want you to take me closer
I want you to make me suffer
I want you to wear me out, no I'll let you down (??)
I'll let your baby down
And you can take me out, all night long
And you can turn my stones into gold
If you tell me your real name, I'll take you home
I wanna let your baby down
Yeah, you can take me out, all night long
And you can take my pain, cos I've got loads
If you tell me your real name, I'll take you home
I wanna let your baby down
I want you closer
I want you in my dirty hands (you're gonna let your baby down)
Want you to let me in your body (you're gonna let your baby down)
I want you every night I please
Want you to bend, want you to tease
Want you to take me down on your knees
You can take me out, all night long
And you can turn my stones, into gold
And if you tell me your real name, I'll take you home
I wanna let your baby...
I wanna let you
Make me out, all night long
And you can turn my pain into gold
Yeah, if you tell me your real name, I'll take you home
I wanna let your baby...
I wanna let your baby...
I wanna let your baby...
I wanna let your baby...
I want you closer
I want you in my dirty hands
I want to touch you in your body, gonna let your baby, down
I want you every night I please
Want you to bend, want you to tease
Want you to take me down on your knees
Wanna let your baby down
And you can take me higher in your zone
If you tell me your name, I'll take you home
And you can take my pain, I've got loads
I wanna let your baby down.

Head > Heels

“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.
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.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“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.
He wrote this song for the strip club scene of Closer but, as Jellings said, it wasn't finished in time so it didn't make it to the movie. He performed it live just once and I don't think we'll ever going to hear it again.
