This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
There?s a little girl playing dress up
Somewhere under all that lace
Standing in her momma?s high heels shoes
With a lipstick covered face
Here?s a little boy on a pony
He?s a cowboy all the way
Used to pull my hair and make me mad
At the Saturday matinee
Oh who?d have thought I?d lose my heart
To the same little boy someday
(Chorus:)
(Looking through my old pictures
Faded photographs
Some of them bring me close to tears
Others make me laugh
Old memories seem to come alive
And open up the past again
And let me dream inside)
Here?s brother with his very first automobile
We thought he?d wash the paint away
He took a job that took him west
He?s doing very well
But we don?t see much of brother these days
This is my favorite of my paw-paw
He?s dressed up in his Sunday suit
Wide brimmed hat
A watch on a chain
I?m gonna tell you the truth
It?s a picture of a downright handsome man
Caught in the prime of his youth
(Repeat Chorus)
Ooh, ooh, who taught time to fly
Ooh, ooh, who taught those years to just roll on by
(Repeat Chorus)
Somewhere under all that lace
Standing in her momma?s high heels shoes
With a lipstick covered face
Here?s a little boy on a pony
He?s a cowboy all the way
Used to pull my hair and make me mad
At the Saturday matinee
Oh who?d have thought I?d lose my heart
To the same little boy someday
(Chorus:)
(Looking through my old pictures
Faded photographs
Some of them bring me close to tears
Others make me laugh
Old memories seem to come alive
And open up the past again
And let me dream inside)
Here?s brother with his very first automobile
We thought he?d wash the paint away
He took a job that took him west
He?s doing very well
But we don?t see much of brother these days
This is my favorite of my paw-paw
He?s dressed up in his Sunday suit
Wide brimmed hat
A watch on a chain
I?m gonna tell you the truth
It?s a picture of a downright handsome man
Caught in the prime of his youth
(Repeat Chorus)
Ooh, ooh, who taught time to fly
Ooh, ooh, who taught those years to just roll on by
(Repeat Chorus)

@[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.

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.
