@[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.
Hey
I've got no place to be
And no one I'd rather see
I won't mind if you can find
The time to stay with me
Oh hey
I've got no time for wastin'
I Got to live a life while I can
I won't hide if you decide
To let me be your man
Cause when I get close to you, not much to say
I get that same old feeling I had in my younger days
And I can show you the way
It's just a game we play
It's easy, takin' it day by day
It's easy, easy, easy, yeah yeah yeah
Hey
You know I would concede
And I think we both agree
You and I can testify
That love is what we need
Oh hey
Just take a look around you, livin' for the future is blind
I believe what we achieve will soon be left behind
The things that I try to say are so hard to find
When you doubt what your love is about let me ease you mind
And I can show you the way
It's just a game we play
It's easy, takin' it day by day
It's easy
Hey
I've got no place to be
And no one I'd rather see
I won't mind if you should find
That you're in love with me
Oh hey
We got no time to worry
Gotta live a life while we can
I won't hide if you decide
To let me be your man
Cause when I get close to you, not much to say
I get that same old feeling I had in my younger days
And I can show you the way
It's just a game we play
It's easy, takin' it day by day
It's easy, takin' it day by
I've got no place to be
And no one I'd rather see
I won't mind if you can find
The time to stay with me

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.
Magical

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

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.
Oh yeah, and my interpretation:
Man really cares for a girl, but doesn't want to stick around forever for her; but would date her in the drop of a hat if she so decided. On one hand, he is afraid of losing her, but on the other hand, he knows he has to live his life and not let her detract from it.
