@[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.
She told me Sunday
Baby its over
We cant go on this way
I really love you
But I must live too
She said take care okay?
Please don't look my way
When you see me on the street
We will still be strangers
When we meet
I never really
Thought that you'd give up
Your home and Family
I've got my own life
You've still got your wife
She whispered tenderly
Please don't look my way
When you see me on the street
We will still be strangers when we meet
All throughout this troubled time
Times I wish that you were mine
Spend my nights and days thinking of you
Sometimes lie awake at night
Think of you and its all right
Spend my days and nights
Dreaming of you
She told me Sunday,
Baby its over
We cant go on this way
I really love you
But I must live too
She said take care okay?
Baby its over
We cant go on this way
I really love you
But I must live too
She said take care okay?
Please don't look my way
When you see me on the street
We will still be strangers
When we meet
I never really
Thought that you'd give up
Your home and Family
I've got my own life
You've still got your wife
She whispered tenderly
Please don't look my way
When you see me on the street
We will still be strangers when we meet
All throughout this troubled time
Times I wish that you were mine
Spend my nights and days thinking of you
Sometimes lie awake at night
Think of you and its all right
Spend my days and nights
Dreaming of you
She told me Sunday,
Baby its over
We cant go on this way
I really love you
But I must live too
She said take care okay?

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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
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.
This is the end of a long and loving affair between a married man and a woman who has longed to have him as hers, but he can't give up his commitments.
I just saw Brokeback Mountain yesterday there are a lot of parellels with this song in that movie.
Great song, long forgotten by most but not by me.
There's a couple of errors in the lyrics. 1.- It says "But i must live too". It should be "But i love him too". 2.- "Spent my days and nights dreaming of you". It should be "Spend my days and nights thinking of you".
The line "she said 'take care, OK'"? always kills me
