In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
It's only been twenty good minutes since I kissed you
Come back boo, I miss you
Wish I had twenty million hours to caress you
And undress you, to be continued
Boy you, you don't know how it feels when you whisper in my ear
Boy you, you give my body chills whenever you are near
And boy I got your lovin' on my mind
I got your lovin' on my mind
You got me wrapped up, packed up
Ribbon with a bow on it
I got your lovin' on my mind
I got your lovin' on my mind
(You got me) wrapped up, packed up
Ribbon with a bow on it
Wrapped up, packed up
Ribbon with a bow on it
Wrapped up, packed up
Ribbon with a bow on it
(Sometimes we argue and we fight)
But they better know that that's my baby
(You might even think you cute)
But everybody knows that I'm his lady
Every time you see us, we super fly
So proud he's by my side
He knows I'm ride or die
You don't know how we roll
Holla at your boy
(Boy you) you don't know how it feels when you whisper in my ear
Boy you, you give my body chills whenever you are near
And boy I got your lovin' on my mind
I got your lovin' on my mind
You got me wrapped up, packed up
Ribbon with a bow on it
I got your lovin' on my mind
I got your lovin' on my mind
You got me wrapped up, packed up
Ribbon with a bow on it
Wrapped up, packed up
Ribbon with a bow on it
Wrapped up, packed up
Ribbon with a bow on it
Boy I'm all wrapped up in you
You make me feel so unloose
Tell me what I'm suppose to do
When you're not around
Oh, baby (yeah yeah yeah)
Oh, baby (yeah yeah yeah)
Oh, baby (yeah yeah yeah)
Oh, baby (yeah hey)
Oh, boy you got me, you got me, you got me
And boy I got your lovin' on my mind
I got your lovin' on my mind
You got me wrapped up, packed up
Ribbon with a bow on it
I got your lovin' on my mind
Wrapped up, packed up
Ribbon with a bow on it
Got ribbon with a bow on it baby
(You got me wrapped up, packed up)
Boy you don't even know the things you do
I could spend my whole life with you
I got your lovin' on my mind
Baby I could spend my life with you
(Wrapped up, packed up
Ribbon with a bow on it)
It's been twenty good minutes since I kissed you
Come back boo I miss you
(Wrapped up, packed up
Ribbon with a bow on it)
Come back boo, I miss you
Wish I had twenty million hours to caress you
And undress you, to be continued
Boy you, you don't know how it feels when you whisper in my ear
Boy you, you give my body chills whenever you are near
And boy I got your lovin' on my mind
I got your lovin' on my mind
You got me wrapped up, packed up
Ribbon with a bow on it
I got your lovin' on my mind
I got your lovin' on my mind
(You got me) wrapped up, packed up
Ribbon with a bow on it
Wrapped up, packed up
Ribbon with a bow on it
Wrapped up, packed up
Ribbon with a bow on it
(Sometimes we argue and we fight)

Come back boo I miss you
(Wrapped up, packed up
Ribbon with a bow on 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.

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.
