@[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.
Waiting
How can someone so close
Be allowed to be so far away
Your red leaves fall in the evening
While I'm waking up to smog these days
You know how I love when the sun touch my skin
But I still miss your thoughts on rain
So come and save me over the thin phone line
Just one of those days
Where you learn to fly
WIth broken wings
My thoughts are on an airplane home
While my feet are still on the ground
Just one of those days
Where you learn to fly
With broken wings
But you were never late
To pick up the phone and call
Now it's fall and I miss
Making love in the Sunday afternoon sunlight
Wednesday, Thursday
One down, a billion to go
With glasses foggy you're losing sight
So come and I'll see you over this thin phone line
One of those days
Where you learn to fly
With broken wings
My thoughts are on an airplane home
While my feet are still on the ground
Just one of those days
Where you learn to fly
With broken wings
One of those days
Where you learn to fly
With broken wings
My thoughts are on an airplane home
While my feet are still on the ground
Just one of those days
Where you learn to fly
With broken wings

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.
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.
This song, along with Across Waters, is about his wife in Sweden. I'm engaged so this song means a lot to me. When my fiance and I have to be seperated for a long period of time I listen to this song a lot.
Christian has been married for well over ten years now. so i'll bet you a cookie this is about Elina
My asshole bf just broke up with me cause I'm gonna be a navy pilot and this song really reminds me of how my dreams of being a pilot arent gonna be ruined by some guy who couldnt care less.. " now it's fall and I miss making love in the sunday afternoon sunlight " that makes me sad but... I think this song is about getting through a bad day.
