The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
Happiness is when I, I think of you,
and we'll be gettin' together for a rendez-vous,
I'll be on time, you bring the wine,
and when we lock the door, you'll be all mine...
Alone in my room, thoughts of you in my head as I wait...
The time is soon, you'll arrive, together then,
we'll escape into the night on wings of love,
and do the things that we onced dreamed of...
All aboard a luxury, a first class ticket to ecstasy...
It won't stop! It don't stop! A non-stop secret rendez-vous!
It won't stop! It don't stop! A non-stop secret rendez-vous!
Hey, hey, hey! Oh, oh, oh!!
From a penthouse view, we'll make love, drink champagne by the candlelight...
I'm so glad I'm in your arms, baby I am yours tonight!
To be with you is all I need, so lock the door and throw away the key!
No one will disturb this groove, we could not stop it if we wanted to!!!
It won't stop! It don't stop! A non-stop secret rendez-vous!
It won't stop! It don't stop! A non-stop secret rendez-vous!
Hey, hey, hey! Oh, oh, oh!
Secret rendez-vous!
Happiness is when I, I think of you,

and we'll be gettin' together for a rendez-vous,

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Holiday
Bee Gees

@[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.
Magical

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

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.
One of the best classic dance hits of all time! Last time I heard this was in the lobby of the mirage hotel in vegas...the parking attendent was doing the running man! classic line "first class ticket to ecstasy". So it's seem that the man is married and she is her younger impresionable mistress who is jealous of what little time she gets with her man.
