@[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.
You're not such a nice girl after all
It's as much as you can do just to say hello
Have you got to stick your head inside that book
Oh, you've noticed that I'm here, now please spare the dirty look!
It's such a beautiful evening, oh would you like to go out?
Oh pardon me for breathing
I know you walk a different way each night
To avoid the men on the building site
But I waited half an hour for you to come
Oh well you've missed your dad and the tea's now overdone
Well it's only part of loving
Oh please don't accuse me of making something out of nothing
There's really nothing to be ashamed about
He's a good looking kid, I think I've worked that bit out
And he seems to have the same desires as you
But if he's that much fun, how come I'm not laughing too?
It's such a beautiful evening, oh would you like to go out?
Oh pardon me for breathing
I can't help the way that I am, it's only part of loving
Please don't you tell me that I'm making something out of nothing
Silly, but true, you know I can't help but feeling used
When the two of you get on so well together
A quiet drink? Well what am I supposed to think?
When the two of you dance so well together
It's as much as you can do just to say hello
Have you got to stick your head inside that book
Oh, you've noticed that I'm here, now please spare the dirty look!
It's such a beautiful evening, oh would you like to go out?

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.

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.
