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”
This evening
At quarter to 8
We'll have an update
I think it's too late
But they're trying
To do all that they can
Family
Together for once
It been too long
Since everyone went their own ways
Upon that falling out
I wish
It wasn't in this hospital
It almost seems impossible
That we would meet again
But I know there something out there
Something somewhere
I feel it all around
Feel it all around this room
And I feel that something out there
Someone somewhere
Is trying to hold on
Trying really hard
This day
It's cold here
I've been waiting all day
On the other side
Remind me of the way I felt when I was young
So closely we are young
The small talk
How I give in
I'm doing ok
Just the other today
He was laughing
And telling all his jokes
I wish
It wasn't in this hospital
It almost seems impossible
That we would meet again
But I know there something out there
Something somewhere
I feel it all around
Feel it all around this room
And I feel that something out there
Someone somewhere
Is trying really hard
Trying really hard
This day
After all these years of trying
I know that someone's dying
It feels like we're home
You've got all the attention
Let's all leave this place together
Hang on
Let's start over
Please don't let go
You've got our attention now
Something out there
Something out there
Something out there
Feel it all around
Feel it all around this room
Something out there
Something somewhere
I feel it all around
Feel it all around this room
And I feel that something out there
Someone somewhere
Is trying really hard
Trying really hard
This day
After all these years of trying
Now you're in there dying
Give us a chance
You've got our attention
Let's all leave this place together
Hang on
Please get better
Just don't let go
You've got our attention Dad

@[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
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.

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.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
