The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
I love you endlessly
I could love the moon and the rain
Shining on my pillow
Quenching the thirst inside of me
We've been drawn so close together
And you've shown my heart had to sing
And I could give you my everything
Love is mystery
It'll break all the rules
One day you've got the world in your pocket
And the next is somebody's fool
Standing on the edge of a promise
You might feel uncertainty
I could give you my everything
? running through my veins
When I touch your hand that's enough for me
I don't need to think it out
There's no place I rather be
I love you endlessly
I could love the moon and the rain
Shining on my pillow
Quenching the thirst inside of me
We've been drawn so close together
And you've shown my heart had to sing
And I could give you my everything
I could give you my everything
I could love the moon and the rain
Shining on my pillow
Quenching the thirst inside of me
We've been drawn so close together
And you've shown my heart had to sing
And I could give you my everything
Love is mystery
It'll break all the rules
One day you've got the world in your pocket
And the next is somebody's fool
Standing on the edge of a promise
You might feel uncertainty
I could give you my everything
? running through my veins
When I touch your hand that's enough for me
I don't need to think it out
There's no place I rather be
I love you endlessly
I could love the moon and the rain
Shining on my pillow
Quenching the thirst inside of me
We've been drawn so close together
And you've shown my heart had to sing
And I could give you my everything
I could give you my everything

@[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.

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.
