@[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.
It'd be nice to hold your hand
As we shifted through this twisted abandon
I would like to think that you know your way
I realize the ropes of rain
Well the cats and dogs they love to play
On the handsome fella with the umbrella
Who once saved you your day
And I will ask you to open my door from the side
From the inside after you drive
Because I want to stay awake for a little bit longer
That's why
Warm the engine compartment up
While I stand here thinking of
But it's a little too early to bury the worries
Still this wish is my command
And I wonder, wonder which one of us
Is gonna state the obvious
And I wonder if you already know
That I gotta let you go
I know this ain't the way I planned it
I guess I ain't the great romantic
And I'm not doubling back now
No doubling back
Doubling back now
Well before I catch you complaining that it hardly rains at all
Let me stop to lock the top
For fear of it falling off
My eyes were easily arms are scares of where
The war was waged on
Words that we heard as a joke
How did it drown our, love
Oh love
When it rains it's sure to pour
But when I look in your eyes
I feel I won't see surprise
That I'm not doubling back
I wonder, wonder which one of us
Is gonna state the obvious
I wonder if you already know
That I gotta let you go
I know this ain't the way I planned it
I guess I ain't the great romantic
And I'm not doubling back now
No doubling back now
No doubling back now
No doubling back now
No doubling back now
No doubling back now
Doubling back now
No turning around now
No going back now
As we shifted through this twisted abandon
I would like to think that you know your way
I realize the ropes of rain
Well the cats and dogs they love to play
On the handsome fella with the umbrella
Who once saved you your day
And I will ask you to open my door from the side
From the inside after you drive
Because I want to stay awake for a little bit longer
That's why
Warm the engine compartment up
While I stand here thinking of
But it's a little too early to bury the worries
Still this wish is my command
And I wonder, wonder which one of us

I know this ain't the way I planned it
I guess I ain't the great romantic

Well before I catch you complaining that it hardly rains at all

No doubling back now
No doubling back now
No doubling back now
No doubling back now
No doubling back now
Doubling back now
No turning around now
No going back now

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.
its about a relationship that went bad but hes okay with it
I see this song as Jason KNOWING that the relationship he has with this girl won't work out. "I wonder which one of us is gonna state the obvious" He knows it won't work, he knows he'll have to end it, he's gotta be strong and not "double back now".
It always makes me happy to listen to it, because it doesn't seem to be sad at all. I think it's about the end of a relationship and they are both cool with it, but only the words have to be said. ''The handsome fella'' might be someone that the girl cheated with, I don't know.
