@[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.
Sometimes I swear I live with an angel
Sent from above to watch over me
He wears his love like a halo
If he's not an angel, what else can he be
He wouldn't say he's anything special
Betcha that's how all those angels are
But when he comes around miracles happen
I felt the first one when he touched my heart
Though I've never seen him fly
On the wings of love he carries me
Heaven bound I'm mystified
How with just one kiss he made me
Believe in angels
Though I've never seen him fly
This mornin' he walked up
Smiled and I kissed him
I never let on that he's not foolin' me
But I think it's so cute how he says
He's from Houston
I swear there's wings tucked up his sleeves
Though I've never seen him fly
On the wings of love he carries me
Heaven bound I'm mystified
How with just one kiss he made me
Believe in angels
Though I've never seen him fly
Heaven bound I'm mystified
How with just one kiss he made me
Believe in angels
Though I've never seen him fly
Sent from above to watch over me
He wears his love like a halo
If he's not an angel, what else can he be
He wouldn't say he's anything special
Betcha that's how all those angels are
But when he comes around miracles happen
I felt the first one when he touched my heart
Though I've never seen him fly
On the wings of love he carries me
Heaven bound I'm mystified
How with just one kiss he made me
Believe in angels
Though I've never seen him fly
This mornin' he walked up
Smiled and I kissed him
I never let on that he's not foolin' me
But I think it's so cute how he says
He's from Houston
I swear there's wings tucked up his sleeves
Though I've never seen him fly
On the wings of love he carries me
Heaven bound I'm mystified
How with just one kiss he made me
Believe in angels
Though I've never seen him fly
Heaven bound I'm mystified
How with just one kiss he made me
Believe in angels
Though I've never seen him fly

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

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.
It must be nice to believe in angels. Sweet song.
