This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
She's quite pretty, she plays the guitar,
She's got the talent but she doesn't wanna be a star.
Content to listen to the radio,
She likes the magic chords, in the ELO. ELO.
She's not shy, you can tell by her smile,
She's not the type to imitate somebody else's style.
She's a rebel and a rocker for sure,
And I can't stop thinking, what's wrong with that?
She's so dedicated,
And my heart keeps telling me 'don't let it show',
Don't try to be so sophisticated,
What's the drawback?
I keep wondering.
I know there must be something.
What's the drawback?
I keep wondering,
But I can't think of one thing.
She's stopping traffic, and moving through time,
She's like a 45 record in the back of my mind,
I see potential in her serious looks,
But I can't stop thinking, what's right with that?
She's so uncomplicated,
But my heart keeps telling me 'don't let it show',
Try not to be so jaded,
What's the drawback?
I keep wondering.
I know there must be something.
What's the drawback?
I keep wondering,
Cause I can't think, I can't think of one thing.
And I can't stop thinking, what's wrong with that?
She's so dedicated,
But my heart keeps telling me, 'don't let it show'.
Try not to be so sophisticated.
Can't think of one thing.
Can't think of one thing.
She's got the talent but she doesn't wanna be a star.

Holiday

@[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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Page
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
After listening to this song, it stands out to me as a song about a guy who has met this girl who seems absolutely perfect for him. The song describes him thinking there is no way she's this perfect and that there has to be some kind of drawback. He's looking for something wrong in her but he "can't think of one thing". That's my quick interpretation, you all might have something different, but oh well.
