The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
What type of romance is this
I must have a kiss
To understand why its ment to be like this
No one can tell me whats going on
So I'll just have to sing it in a song
Its how i feel
I can't even describe it
Its so unreal
We're gonna have to try it
I just need to meet you
In person ok
Is that ok
I saw you on a sunday
It looked like this was a monday
It wasnt a typical fun day
Everyone had their on type
Of attitude and what to say
I'll take you places youve never been
I'll take you to the top
And we'll spend on the moon
Make sure the mood is a right
And i just might
What type of romance is this
Its crazy
I just have to have a kiss
I said that once
And i just need it to come true
Please baby boo
I love the sun and locks and where you go
I love the way you walk
And all i talk is the best and better than the rest
I just need to test it out
Without a doubt
This is something I've been without
For my dial life
And its crazy
It's how i feel
I can't even describe it
It's so unreal
We're gonna have to try it
I just need to meet you
In person ok
Is that ok
I saw you on a Sunday
It looked like this was a Monday
It Wasnt a typical fun day
Everyone has their own type
Of attitude and what to say
Break it down
I must have a kiss
To understand why its ment to be like this
No one can tell me whats going on
So I'll just have to sing it in a song
Its how i feel
I can't even describe it
Its so unreal
We're gonna have to try it
I just need to meet you
In person ok
Is that ok
I saw you on a sunday
It looked like this was a monday
It wasnt a typical fun day
Everyone had their on type
Of attitude and what to say
I'll take you places youve never been
I'll take you to the top
And we'll spend on the moon
Make sure the mood is a right

What type of romance is this

@[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.

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

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.
