@[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.
Sitting in my car
We don't drive very far
The miles wouldn’t make a difference
The words I say
Cancel out the way
You'll think about me from now on
Don’t say a word
I know it sounds absurd
But I have reasons for what I’ve done
Though the fault is mine
And that fact haunts my mind
So I will make you take the blame somehow
You'll take it, yes you will
And I'll blame it on the way
You leave me here for days
So frequently you say
Farewell my friend
I’ll blame it on the planes
That takes you miles away
I’ll blame it on the planes
Those god damn planes.
I drive you home
Take the longest road
Stop at every sign I see
And I keep my speed real slow
Before you leave
I take one last look
At something I can never have
Again, again
The worst part of all of this is
I’m the one who violated
All the codes we kept
The whole charade was bitter sweet
Cause as I was beneath the sheets
I was hoping you would call me
Just so I could hear your voice
And I'll blame in on the way
You leave me here for days
So frequently you say
Farewell my friend
I’ll blame it on the planes
That takes you miles away
I’ll blame it on the planes
Those god damn planes
Are you willing to give up those nights I spent over your house?
Straight from work I weaved threw traffic just to sleep upon your couch
Now I feel like I have lost precious photos of my life
If you can end without a question over something that’s so shrine
This is the worst mistake I made and I make thousands everyday
If you give this one more shot I’ll make it up in everyway
Call you twice a day and drive you to the airport
Just so I can watch you leave… even if you’re leaving me.
We don't drive very far

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.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield

I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Head > Heels

Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
just a small correction to the lyrics: Now I feel like I have lost precious FOUR YEARS of my life If you can end without a question over something that’s so TRITE
