@[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.
I could paint your pictures all night long
And tell you tales of every song
Still let you know that you're the reason
Why I'm home
Or I could quote a page of poetry
To show you what you mean to me
And we go falling somewhere faster
Knowing we don't want to ever fall at all
I just don't think that this will be easy
Saying that you love me
Lying tongues are clumsy
And don't speak when one more word would kill me
Saying that you love me
When lying tongues are clumsy
But who am I to say
That every breath we take
Won't be another pointless kiss we gave away
When what we love we burn
Its from the ashes that we yearn
To be the phoenix that rises from up from the flames
Don't think that this will be easy
Saying that you love me
When lying tongues are clumsy
Don't think that this will be easy
Saying that you love me
When lying tongues are clumsy
And don't speak when one more word would kill me
Saying that you love me
When lying tongues are clumsy
I could paint your pictures all night long
And tell you tales of every song
And let you know that you're the reason why I'm home
And tell you tales of every song
Still let you know that you're the reason
Why I'm home
Or I could quote a page of poetry
To show you what you mean to me
And we go falling somewhere faster
Knowing we don't want to ever fall at all
I just don't think that this will be easy
Saying that you love me
Lying tongues are clumsy
And don't speak when one more word would kill me
Saying that you love me
When lying tongues are clumsy
But who am I to say
That every breath we take
Won't be another pointless kiss we gave away
When what we love we burn
Its from the ashes that we yearn
To be the phoenix that rises from up from the flames
Don't think that this will be easy
Saying that you love me
When lying tongues are clumsy
Don't think that this will be easy
Saying that you love me
When lying tongues are clumsy
And don't speak when one more word would kill me
Saying that you love me
When lying tongues are clumsy
I could paint your pictures all night long
And tell you tales of every song
And let you know that you're the reason why I'm home

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.
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.
i totally agree with brian. and a little bit more.
to me i believe that this is the beginning stage of a relationship. where two people are scared to fall in love with each other but they are anyway.
"And we'd go falling somewhere faster Knowing we don't want to ever fall at all"
and that they're scared that all those kisses that mean so much, will go to waste IF they break up.
"That every breath we take Won't be another pointless kiss We gave away"
I also think that not only is he scared of saying that he loves her but he's scared of her telling him she loves him. and to be absolutely sure that she loves him when she tells him. he never says he loves her in the song. but how much she means to him.
well thats just my meaning. prolly not right.
