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.
3 a.m. and I’m all alone
Try to call but I doubt your home
Not much has changed here on my end
Sure would be good to see you again
I know we had our fights
Nothing since has felt that right
Live my life from day to day
If I don’t think to much everything’s ok
I miss holdin' your hand
Miss goin' on walks
Miss being your man
I miss watching you sleep
Guess I just miss you with me
I still drive that same old car
Still play at that run down bar
Still hang out with the same group of guys
And on saturday nights still go to that dive
Its been two months since I had a drink
Damn good for me don’t you think
Oh it’s been a year now since you've gone
Try my best but I can’t move on
I miss holdin’ your hand
Miss goin’ on walks
Miss being your man
I miss watching you sleep
Guess I just miss you with me
If you give me second chance
I'll never let you go
Swallowed all my pride now
I got to let you know
I miss holdin’ your hand
Miss goin’ on walks
Miss being your man
I miss watching you sleep
Guess I just miss you with me
I guess I miss you with me
Try to call but I doubt your home
Not much has changed here on my end
Sure would be good to see you again
I know we had our fights
Nothing since has felt that right
Live my life from day to day
If I don’t think to much everything’s ok
I miss holdin' your hand
Miss goin' on walks
Miss being your man
I miss watching you sleep
Guess I just miss you with me
I still drive that same old car
Still play at that run down bar
Still hang out with the same group of guys
And on saturday nights still go to that dive
Its been two months since I had a drink
Damn good for me don’t you think
Oh it’s been a year now since you've gone
Try my best but I can’t move on
I miss holdin’ your hand
Miss goin’ on walks
Miss being your man
I miss watching you sleep
Guess I just miss you with me
If you give me second chance
I'll never let you go
Swallowed all my pride now
I got to let you know
I miss holdin’ your hand
Miss goin’ on walks
Miss being your man
I miss watching you sleep
Guess I just miss you with me
I guess I miss you with me

@[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.

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.
