Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
There's an air everywhere
Of inconsideration and despair
I don't consider you and you don't consider me
And it?s well understood that we don't care
You know we don't have to wait until the end of the night
Just to say that something?s wrong and maybe nobody?s right
We're all victims in a battle we never had to fight
It?s okay, it?s alright, steady now
We're in this thing together, we're in this together
I regret that I forget
Confessions always seem to stay unsaid
And maybe I worry that you'll forsake me
Use my shame as a weapon and go on and break me
You know we don't have to wait until the end of the night
Just to say that something?s wrong and maybe nobody?s right
We're all victims in a battle that we never had to fight
It?s okay, it?s alright, steady now
We're in this together
?Cause I want to take the time to say I'm sorry
I haven't loved you the way I should
Do you think that you could forgive me?
Just try to hear me, I, I need you with me now
You know we don't have to wait until the end of the night
Just to say that something?s wrong and maybe nobody?s right
We're all victims in a battle we never had to fight
It?s okay, it?s alright
You know we don't have to wait until the end of the night
Just to say that something?s wrong and maybe nobody?s right
We're all victims in a battle we never had to fight
It?s okay, it?s alright, steady now
We're in this together, steady now
Of inconsideration and despair
I don't consider you and you don't consider me
And it?s well understood that we don't care
You know we don't have to wait until the end of the night
Just to say that something?s wrong and maybe nobody?s right
We're all victims in a battle we never had to fight
It?s okay, it?s alright, steady now
We're in this thing together, we're in this together
I regret that I forget
Confessions always seem to stay unsaid
And maybe I worry that you'll forsake me
Use my shame as a weapon and go on and break me
You know we don't have to wait until the end of the night
Just to say that something?s wrong and maybe nobody?s right
We're all victims in a battle that we never had to fight
It?s okay, it?s alright, steady now
We're in this together
?Cause I want to take the time to say I'm sorry
I haven't loved you the way I should
Do you think that you could forgive me?
Just try to hear me, I, I need you with me now
You know we don't have to wait until the end of the night
Just to say that something?s wrong and maybe nobody?s right
We're all victims in a battle we never had to fight
It?s okay, it?s alright
You know we don't have to wait until the end of the night
Just to say that something?s wrong and maybe nobody?s right
We're all victims in a battle we never had to fight
It?s okay, it?s alright, steady now
We're in this together, steady now

@[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.
Magical

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.
