The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
Still spinning, so beautiful
Everyday, a new beginning
Still spinning, so beautiful
Everyday, a new beginning
Crazy
They say you've gone crazy
But still you amaze me
Day in, day out
It's your magic
And the way you embrace me
With stories and faces
All about
Still spinning, so beautiful
Everyday, a new beginning
Still spinning, so beautiful
Everyday, a new beginning
Changes
The time beyond changes
The promise of ages
Under the sun
Now watching
The balance of powers
some mighty king
Will have to step down
This big blue ball
Keeps spinning round
Sun goes up and sun goes down
The slightest move is making waves
In tides beyond our precious days
This big blue sky is all above
Deep inside the words of love
Clouds may bring some rain today
Love will find a way
Still spinning, so beautiful
Everyday, a new beginning
Still spinning, so beautiful
Everyday, a new beginning
Crazy
The world has gone crazy
The light we are chasing
But can't be found
Now racing
Within or without you
The silence in seasons
Time passes by
This big blue ball
Is spinning round
Sun goes up and sun goes down
The slightest move is making waves
In tides beyond our precious days
This big blue sky is all above
Deep inside the words of love
Clouds may bring some rain today
Love will find a way
Love will find a way
Still spinning, so beautiful
Everyday, a new beginning
Still spinning, so beautiful
Everyday, a new beginning
Everyday, a new beginning
Still spinning, so beautiful
Everyday, a new beginning
Crazy
They say you've gone crazy
But still you amaze me
Day in, day out
It's your magic
And the way you embrace me
With stories and faces
All about
Still spinning, so beautiful
Everyday, a new beginning
Still spinning, so beautiful
Everyday, a new beginning
Changes
The time beyond changes
The promise of ages
Under the sun
Now watching
The balance of powers
some mighty king
Will have to step down
This big blue ball
Keeps spinning round
Sun goes up and sun goes down
The slightest move is making waves
In tides beyond our precious days
This big blue sky is all above
Deep inside the words of love
Clouds may bring some rain today
Love will find a way
Still spinning, so beautiful
Everyday, a new beginning
Still spinning, so beautiful
Everyday, a new beginning
Crazy
The world has gone crazy
The light we are chasing
But can't be found
Now racing
Within or without you
The silence in seasons
Time passes by
This big blue ball
Is spinning round
Sun goes up and sun goes down
The slightest move is making waves
In tides beyond our precious days
This big blue sky is all above
Deep inside the words of love
Clouds may bring some rain today
Love will find a way
Love will find a way
Still spinning, so beautiful
Everyday, a new beginning
Still spinning, so beautiful
Everyday, a new beginning

@[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.

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
