The quiet kid is coming to stay
What do you say?
He says I'm lonely, says I'm lonely
I'll tell you everything I know
What do you know?
He says I'm hopeless, says I'm hopeless
And that's why I can't send you Christmas cards
It's why I had to keep you in the dark
Less big words and more exclamation marks
The little king is locked away (locked away!)
Swallow the key
He says it's so right, but not sorry
I'll tell you everything I saw (what do you see?)
A hundred and one
He says it's alright, I know what I've done
And that's why I can't send you Christmas cards
It's why I had to keep you in the dark
Less big words and so ...
Charm but destroy
Opens up the window
Bored and overwhelmed
I was overwhelmed
But that's the best part, that's the best part
'Cause I've been taking your advice
Like a Speak & Spell
And I can get to know you better
And never know you well
And that's why I can't send you Christmas cards
It's why I had to keep you in the dark
Less big words and so
Charm but destroy
Opens up the window
Bored and overwhelmed
I was overwhelmed
But that's the best part, that's the best part
What do you say?
He says I'm lonely, says I'm lonely
I'll tell you everything I know
What do you know?
He says I'm hopeless, says I'm hopeless
And that's why I can't send you Christmas cards
It's why I had to keep you in the dark
Less big words and more exclamation marks
The little king is locked away (locked away!)
Swallow the key
He says it's so right, but not sorry
I'll tell you everything I saw (what do you see?)
A hundred and one
He says it's alright, I know what I've done
And that's why I can't send you Christmas cards
It's why I had to keep you in the dark
Less big words and so ...
Charm but destroy
Opens up the window
Bored and overwhelmed
I was overwhelmed
But that's the best part, that's the best part
'Cause I've been taking your advice
Like a Speak & Spell
And I can get to know you better
And never know you well
And that's why I can't send you Christmas cards
It's why I had to keep you in the dark
Less big words and so
Charm but destroy
Opens up the window
Bored and overwhelmed
I was overwhelmed
But that's the best part, that's the best part

@[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.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
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.
So as I was sitting here listening to the song and reading the lyrics over and over again, I thought about a few things that could be related but I can't decide were they are connected. The "quiet kid, and the little king" are some kind of shy childlike character (maybe the writer or someone else). The chorus on the other hand I have a pretty good idea about. To me they are about someone that he (the writer) can't tell to much to, because they get worried easily and he has to "keep them in the dark". Perhaps this is person is the same as the childlike character from the verses. That's all I have for now though, I hope someone will comment and help me piece it together.
