In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Consider this me calling you out,
I've had a few setbacks but I'm back and better than ever,
Hunny you say you can make it rain,
But I can bring thunder to the brightest of days,
You've gotta learn your place or just tell it to my face,
I never though it'd be this easy but I'm gone without a trace,
Baby I've got all day so say what you wanna say,
But you should save it for the dirt, cause you're digging your own grave.
I know why you're leaving,
You sold me out; you sold me out,
Don't tell me where you're going,
You sold me out; you sold me out.
I think that the truth is you realized you're scared,
And I've come to realize I'm someone who cares way too much.
I'd bite my tongue,
Cause you were a liar when you were younger,
Girls like you make up or make out,
It always comes to this and my,
Heart attack - take me back,
Give me one more try, I hope you see him tonight,
Baby put some ice on his black eye,
Cause I'm leaving town tonight.
Maybe we crossed that bridge too early,
I was waiting till we got there,
You are weaker than I thought.
I think that the truth is you realized you're scared,
And I've come to realize I'm someone who cares way too much.
(You sold me out, you sold me out)

@[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.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
