@[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.
Never mind he whispered in my ear
Could have been anyone's mistake
Let's just press rewind from here
Call it quits for time's sake
Ring me twice then I'll know you need me
Call me back right away
Somebody told me you've been thieving
You're losing sight of the light
Wanna know wanna know why you're breaking even
Wanna know wanna know why you're breaking down
From now on you'll sleep with one eye open
Keep your credit up hardly leave the house
They'll find you anywhere you're hiding
I see you won't get out
Wanna know wanna know why you're breaking even
Wanna know wanna know why you're breaking down
Back home
You're found out
Back home
You're found
Now you're back home
You're found out
Back home
You're found
Could have been anyone's mistake
Let's just press rewind from here
Call it quits for time's sake
Ring me twice then I'll know you need me
Call me back right away
Somebody told me you've been thieving
You're losing sight of the light
Wanna know wanna know why you're breaking even
Wanna know wanna know why you're breaking down
From now on you'll sleep with one eye open
Keep your credit up hardly leave the house
They'll find you anywhere you're hiding
I see you won't get out
Wanna know wanna know why you're breaking even
Wanna know wanna know why you're breaking down
Back home
You're found out
Back home
You're found
Now you're back home
You're found out
Back home
You're found

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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

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.
