@[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.
I was lost
I was losing at a terrible cost
You could make exceptions
But I'd still be involved
It wouldn't made a single difference at all
You called me out
There was never any measure of doubt
I was so confused on what the trick was about
But I am thinking that I'm into you now
There's nothing wrong with me
Can't you see it's gonna be alright
Alright, alright
Can't you see
You counted down
All the days you miss me hanging around
Trying to forget the times I couldn't be found
But I decided that I'll be with you now
There's nothing wrong with me
Can't you see it's gonna be alright
Alright, alright
Can't you see
I was losing at a terrible cost
You could make exceptions
But I'd still be involved
It wouldn't made a single difference at all
You called me out
There was never any measure of doubt
I was so confused on what the trick was about
But I am thinking that I'm into you now
There's nothing wrong with me
Can't you see it's gonna be alright
Alright, alright
Can't you see
You counted down
All the days you miss me hanging around
Trying to forget the times I couldn't be found
But I decided that I'll be with you now
There's nothing wrong with me
Can't you see it's gonna be alright
Alright, alright
Can't you see

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Just A Little Lovin'
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/
Blue
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.
This song has puzzled me everytime I listen to it. I have no idea who the characters are...only that they are in love and the love isn't really "acceptable."
Maybe, it's a prisoner singing a love song to the attorney general, or a mental institution patient singing to his ward....
reading into it a little too deeply, perhaps? i think it's just a catchy summer song about a guy who gets caught out cheating on his girlfriend and decides to change his ways.
