@[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.
Speed kills
Coming down the mountain
Speed kills
Coming down the street
Speed kills
With the presence of mind and
Speed kills
If you know what I mean
Got to feel
Woke up inside again
Got to feel
Less broke more fixed
Got to feel
When I got outside myself
Got to feel
When I touched your lips
The things we do
To the people that we love
The way we break
If there's something we can't take
Destroy the world
That we took so long to make
We expect her gone
For some time
I wish her safe from harm
To find yourself
In a foreign land
Another refugee
Outsider refugee
How's it feel
Coming up roses
How's it feel
She's coming up sweet
How's it feel
When it's all in spite of you
How's it feel
When she's out of your reach
The things we do
To the people that we love
The way we break
If there's something in the way
Destroy the world
That we took so long to make
We expect her gone
For some time
I wish her safe from harm
To find yourself
In a foreign land
Another refugee
Outsider refugee
What happened to you? (x4)
The things we do
To the people that we love
The way we break
If there's something we can't take
Destroy the world
That we took so long to make
The things we do
To the people that we love (x3)
The things we do
To the people that we
That we love

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.
I love this song! The album is very good...but I don't know if it beats Sixteen Stone...that was like, the best album made, ever! What CD can beat one with "Comedown", "Machine Head", "Everything Zen", and "Glycerine" on it?! Good stuff...but, yea, this song and video rock! :)
