@[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.
The look of love is in your eyes
A look your smile can’t disguise
The look of love, it’s sweet
It’s so much more than these words could ever say
And when my heart has heard
Well, it takes my breath away.
I can hardly wait to hold you
Feel my arms around you
How long I have waited
Waiting just to love you
Now that I have found you.
You’ve got the look of love, it’s on your face
The look that time can’t erase
You’re mine tonight, let this be
Just the start of so many nights like this
Let’s take a lover’s vow
And then seal it with a kiss.
I can hardly wait to hold you
Feel my arms around you
How long I have waited
Waiting just to love you
Now that I have found you.
Don’t ever go
Don’t ever go
I love you so.
A look your smile can’t disguise
The look of love, it’s sweet
It’s so much more than these words could ever say
And when my heart has heard
Well, it takes my breath away.
I can hardly wait to hold you
Feel my arms around you
How long I have waited
Waiting just to love you
Now that I have found you.
You’ve got the look of love, it’s on your face
The look that time can’t erase
You’re mine tonight, let this be
Just the start of so many nights like this
Let’s take a lover’s vow
And then seal it with a kiss.
I can hardly wait to hold you
Feel my arms around you
How long I have waited
Waiting just to love you
Now that I have found you.
Don’t ever go
Don’t ever go
I love you so.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Midnight

Ed Sheeran
“Midnight” is a song about finding a love that is so true that it provides a calming feeling through every storm. Ed Sheeran reflects on his good fortunes in landing someone with such peace and support and speaks of not fearing the dark days because he knows they’ll all end in the safety nets of her arms.
“Well, good morning there / What a way to start the day / With everything laid bare,” Ed Sheeran sings in the first verse, enthusiastic to be waking up beside his woman. He apologizes for missing her calls in the second verse and promises to return them because for him, speaking to her is the most important thing. “Well, I get lost inside my head / In this chaos, you’re my calm / And I will find my feet again / ‘Cause еven the worst days of my life will always еnd / At midnight in your arms,” sings Ed Sheeran in the chorus, revelling in his good luck.
Trouble Breathing
Alkaline Trio
Alkaline Trio
While the obvious connections with suicide or alcoholism could be drawn easily, more subtly this song could be about someone who views the world through a negative lens constantly and how as much as the writer tries to show the beauty in the world, this person refuses to see it. It's one or another between the rope and the bottle. There is no good option for this person. They can't see it. Skiba sings it in a kind of exasperated way like He's tired of hearing this negative view constantly and just allowing that person to continue feeling the way they feel knowing he can't do anything about it. You can hear it when he says maybe you're a vampire.
Somewhere Only We Know
Keane
Keane
Per the FAQ on Keane's website, Keane's drummer Richard Hughes, stated the following:
"We've been asked whether "Somewhere Only We Know" is about a specific place, and Tim has been saying that, for him, or us as individuals, it might be about a geographical space, or a feeling; it can mean something individual to each person, and they can interpret it to a memory of theirs... It's perhaps more of a theme rather than a specific message... Feelings that may be universal, without necessarily being totally specific to us, or a place, or a time..."
With the nostalgic sentiment and the overall tone of the song, I think Keane is attempting to express a Portuguese term known as 'saudade', which does not have a direct English translation but roughly means "that which we remember because it is gone."
Burt Bacharach wrote this song.
This song always turns me on.
So completely sensual.
Dusty's version of this is beaut.
The best version of this song...
Dionne Warwick claims only Aretha can better her original for "I Say a Little Prayer" well Dusty takes this version to another level as well.
