@[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.
I am tearing up pieces of old news
To mend all the leaks in my open wounds again
They're telling you everything
But it's okay
I've felt this before
But trust me, there's nothing on the other side of the door
Or at least nothing more
I'm just jealous because you fell out of love
With the one thing that you always seemed to be so free of
And if you can't find comfort in what we should have known
Then I guess we're better on our own
It's life's lesson taught a little too well
The only thing you have forever is always kept in a cell
You know we won't find comfort if we're both on our own
So let's make the best of the time that we're shown
So proposed
How does light seep into a mind so closed?
You're only focused on what glows
And it's been burning holes in hearts
Planning life before it starts
There's only three points to home
Grow, work, alone
There must be something
We can't be carved in stone
I'm just jealous because you fell out of love
With the one thing that you always seemed to be so free of
And if you can't find comfort in what we should have known
Then I guess we're better on our own
It's life's lesson taught a little too well
The only thing you have forever is always kept in a cell
You know we won't find comfort if we're both on our own
So let's make the best of the time that we're shown
And now it's pulling us apart
And now it's pulling us apart
It's taken us
Shaken us
I feel like I have mistaken us
As simple things with wedding rings
Abandoning what our future brings
To mend all the leaks in my open wounds again
They're telling you everything
But it's okay
I've felt this before
But trust me, there's nothing on the other side of the door
Or at least nothing more
I'm just jealous because you fell out of love
With the one thing that you always seemed to be so free of
And if you can't find comfort in what we should have known
Then I guess we're better on our own
It's life's lesson taught a little too well
The only thing you have forever is always kept in a cell
You know we won't find comfort if we're both on our own
So let's make the best of the time that we're shown
So proposed
How does light seep into a mind so closed?
You're only focused on what glows
And it's been burning holes in hearts
Planning life before it starts
There's only three points to home
Grow, work, alone
There must be something
We can't be carved in stone
I'm just jealous because you fell out of love
With the one thing that you always seemed to be so free of
And if you can't find comfort in what we should have known
Then I guess we're better on our own
It's life's lesson taught a little too well
The only thing you have forever is always kept in a cell
You know we won't find comfort if we're both on our own
So let's make the best of the time that we're shown
And now it's pulling us apart
And now it's pulling us apart
It's taken us
Shaken us
I feel like I have mistaken us
As simple things with wedding rings
Abandoning what our future brings

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
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/

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.
