@[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's just as wicked as it seems
Just run out of dreams
Better of two evils, babe
It's one time too much
Baby how can I say what's in my heart, what's in my heart
Come a long way, well since you beat it up
As wicked as it seems yeah
Why don't you get, get all over me
Why don't you get, get all over me
Just a two way street, but now it goes one way
And now for me there's no way out, one time
Why don't you get, get all over me
As wicked as it seems
It's playtime, but it's far too late
It's gonna too hard on, hard on it, hard on it
What you gonna give
It's not enough, not enough for me
So I soften the blow, so the bruises don't show
I've got the expertise
No broken necks
No broken hearts
Well, we used your deck
All I did was play the cards, now the check
Now I find it's not enough, it's not enough for me
Now you want to give, is not enough, not enough for me
As wicked as it seems
Why don't you get, get all over me, one time
Why don't you get, get all over me
It's easy getting in
Why don't you get, get all over me
But it's a hard way out babe
Why don't you get, get all over me
Just run out of dreams
Better of two evils, babe
It's one time too much
Baby how can I say what's in my heart, what's in my heart
Come a long way, well since you beat it up
As wicked as it seems yeah
Why don't you get, get all over me
Why don't you get, get all over me
Just a two way street, but now it goes one way
And now for me there's no way out, one time
Why don't you get, get all over me
As wicked as it seems
It's playtime, but it's far too late
It's gonna too hard on, hard on it, hard on it
What you gonna give
It's not enough, not enough for me
So I soften the blow, so the bruises don't show
I've got the expertise
No broken necks
No broken hearts
Well, we used your deck
All I did was play the cards, now the check
Now I find it's not enough, it's not enough for me
Now you want to give, is not enough, not enough for me
As wicked as it seems
Why don't you get, get all over me, one time
Why don't you get, get all over me
It's easy getting in
Why don't you get, get all over me
But it's a hard way out babe
Why don't you get, get all over me

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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.
