Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
This is how it started
As a teenage omen
One night at a rockin' roll dance
Was a date once a week
Good night kiss on your cheek
I'll go home so happy
But my heart givin' peace
Two years I have passed her
Anything had been changed
The neighborhood be so ugly
They don't look the same
Even the playground
Where we used to play
Just around the corner
Where we used to stay
We could have been married
And a long saddle down
But you went away dear
And you couldn't be found
I ask so many people where to find you
They all say they didn't know
So if you see my baby
Tell her I love her so
Tell her I love her so
Tell her I love her so
As a teenage omen
One night at a rockin' roll dance
Was a date once a week
Good night kiss on your cheek
I'll go home so happy
But my heart givin' peace
Two years I have passed her
Anything had been changed
The neighborhood be so ugly
They don't look the same
Even the playground
Where we used to play
Just around the corner
Where we used to stay
We could have been married
And a long saddle down
But you went away dear
And you couldn't be found
I ask so many people where to find you
They all say they didn't know
So if you see my baby
Tell her I love her so
Tell her I love her so
Tell her I love her so

@[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.

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.
