This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
Ooo, yeah...
Can you imagine
What would happen
If we could have any dream?
I'd wish this moment
Was ours to own it.
And that it would never leave.
Then I would thank that star
That made our wish come true.
(Come true)
Oh, yeah.
'Cause he knows that where you are
Is where I should be, too.
Right Here.
Right Now.
I'm looking at you
And my heart loves the view.
'Cause you mean everything.
Right Here.
I promise you somehow,
That tomorrow can wait
For some other day to be.
But right now there's
You and Me.
If this was forever,
What could be better?
We've already proved it works.
But two-thousand one hundred twenty three hours;
A blend in the universe.
Is gonna make everything
(Everything)
In our whole world change.
(It starts changing)
And you know that where we are,
(When we are)
Will never be the same.
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
Right Here.
Right Now.
(Right Now)
I'm looking at you
And my heart loves the view.
'Cause you mean everything.
(everything)
Right Here.
I promise you somehow,
(Somehow we're gonna)
That tomorrow can wait
For some other day to be.
(To be)
But right now there's
You and Me.
Oh we know it's coming.
(Coming)
And it's coming fast.
It's always you and me.
Oh, yeah.
So let's make this second last.
Make it last!
Right Here.
Ooohh, Right Now.
Yeah, I'm looking at you.
And my heart loves the view.
'Cause you mean everything.
Right Here
I promise you somehow
That tomorrow can wait
For some other day to be.
(To be)
But right now there's
You and Me.
You and Me.
You and Me.
But righ now there's
You and Me.
Can you imagine
What would happen
If we could have any dream?
I'd wish this moment
Was ours to own it.

@[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.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
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/

Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
