"Goodnight, love"
You whisper so I won't wake up
I'm playing like I'm sound asleep
I ain't in the mood for your late-night company
You flip the switch
Immediately, my leg starts to twitch
My mind is racing out of this town
Along them U.P. tracks, Omaha-bound
Back to Emerald Bay
That apartment where I played it safe
I imagined a lifetime there
A most peculiar man in the room downstairs
My rabbit hole, a haven to hide from the cold
That's where I wish I'd go
Instead, I flush myself out into this lonely world
So run, rabbit, run
There's always someone to be running from
Once you learned to escape from the crib
You've been running ever since
So run, rabbit, run
I ain't going to tell no one
Life's got you by the ears
You got to kick it all away and disappear
So run, rabbit, run
Hop into the setting sun
Where life began and where it will end
From a rabbit hole, you sprung
And night after night
You keep poking your head back
Run, rabbit, run
I loved you all, but only for an instant
You whisper so I won't wake up
I'm playing like I'm sound asleep
I ain't in the mood for your late-night company
You flip the switch
Immediately, my leg starts to twitch
My mind is racing out of this town
Along them U.P. tracks, Omaha-bound
Back to Emerald Bay
That apartment where I played it safe
I imagined a lifetime there
A most peculiar man in the room downstairs
My rabbit hole, a haven to hide from the cold
That's where I wish I'd go
Instead, I flush myself out into this lonely world
So run, rabbit, run
There's always someone to be running from
Once you learned to escape from the crib
You've been running ever since
So run, rabbit, run
I ain't going to tell no one
Life's got you by the ears
You got to kick it all away and disappear
So run, rabbit, run
Hop into the setting sun
Where life began and where it will end
From a rabbit hole, you sprung
And night after night
You keep poking your head back
Run, rabbit, run
I loved you all, but only for an instant

@[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.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
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.

"where life began and where it will end." that's what i hear, and it's kind of in line with "big bang." also, it ties nicely into "from a rabbit-hole you sprung, and night after night, you keep poking your head back in."
I loved you all, but only for an instant. That sums up all my relationships...
