@[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.
Oh baby what went wrong
You and me, you and me
Oh baby way too long
You and me, you and me
You and me, you and me
I can't take myself
I can't take a reason
I make it hell
I've been lost all day
I've been gone forever
Should I say?
Oh baby what went wrong
You and me, you and me
Oh baby gone too long
You and me, you and me
You and me, you and me
I don't know my way
I don't trust the reasons
You escape
I don't take myself
I don't take it easy
Nothing helps
On my block
I gave everything
Wouldn't stop
On my street
I left everyone
On my knee
Oh baby what went wrong
You and me, you and me
Oh baby one more song
You and me, you and me
You and me, you and me
You and me
You and me, you and me
Oh baby way too long
You and me, you and me
You and me, you and me
I can't take myself
I can't take a reason
I make it hell
I've been lost all day
I've been gone forever
Should I say?
Oh baby what went wrong
You and me, you and me
Oh baby gone too long
You and me, you and me
You and me, you and me
I don't know my way
I don't trust the reasons
You escape
I don't take myself
I don't take it easy
Nothing helps
On my block
I gave everything
Wouldn't stop
On my street
I left everyone
On my knee
Oh baby what went wrong
You and me, you and me
Oh baby one more song
You and me, you and me
You and me, you and me
You and me

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.
Amazing song on an amazing album!
