@[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.
all summer long
there were voices in the hall
that’s what she said
people hanging round
but it’s just ghosts
it’s just voices in your head
west wind rising
into my sleep
all night all night
it dragged my bones through the street
I can only see you
I can only see you
I can only see you
I can only see you
I can only see you
I can only see you
when evening comes, the fields are full of voices
she said don’t be afraid of what you hear
when evening comes, the fields are full of voices
but no one’s there
I can only see you
I can only see you
I can only see you
I can only see you
I can only see you
I can only see you
so that summer passed,
but i never was the same when I got home
there’s a phantom in my breath
there’s a phantom in the gaps betwene my bones
standing in my kitchen
watching the time
I heard the choirs all night
I heard the choirs all night
I can only see you
I can only see you
I can only see you
I can only see you
I can only see you
I can only see you
there were voices in the hall
that’s what she said
people hanging round
but it’s just ghosts
it’s just voices in your head
west wind rising
into my sleep
all night all night
it dragged my bones through the street
I can only see you
I can only see you
I can only see you
I can only see you
I can only see you
I can only see you
when evening comes, the fields are full of voices
she said don’t be afraid of what you hear
when evening comes, the fields are full of voices
but no one’s there
I can only see you
I can only see you
I can only see you
I can only see you
I can only see you
I can only see you
so that summer passed,
but i never was the same when I got home
there’s a phantom in my breath
there’s a phantom in the gaps betwene my bones
standing in my kitchen
watching the time
I heard the choirs all night
I heard the choirs all night
I can only see you
I can only see you
I can only see you
I can only see you
I can only see you
I can only see you

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.
Just A Little Lovin'
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/
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
I think this is about spending the summer with a girl who believes that there are voices around here, all the while the author cannot hear these voices or see these ghosts, only her. When he returns back home, perhaps because he missed or spending the summer with her changed him, but he now hears the voices too.
