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.
When the world outside
Has got me kinda stressen
I only live to be next to
Through the madness
You remain my greatest pleasure
No one but God
Deserves such love
And If I had
One night on this earth to spend
I'll spend it loving you
And out of all I've experienced
Nothing comes close to this
You're all I need
Sensitive lover
How beautiful you are
You satisfy my every need
Sensitive lover
You went and raised the bar
From your head to your feet
Girl you so complete
So complete
All the good times
And the bad times
You remained the same
That's why
I'm gonna keep on loving you
Through the joy and pain
I've had 9's and 10's
But I couldn't find
All the beauty that's in you
Sensitive lover
How beautiful you are
You satisfy my every need
Sensitive lover
You went and raised the bar
From your head to your feet
Girl you so complete
So complete
Sensitive lover
How beautiful you are
You satisfy my every need
Sensitive lover
You went and raised the bar
From your head to your feet
Girl you so complete
So complete
Has got me kinda stressen
I only live to be next to
Through the madness
You remain my greatest pleasure
No one but God
Deserves such love
And If I had
One night on this earth to spend
I'll spend it loving you
And out of all I've experienced
Nothing comes close to this
You're all I need
Sensitive lover
How beautiful you are
You satisfy my every need
Sensitive lover
You went and raised the bar
From your head to your feet
Girl you so complete
So complete
All the good times
And the bad times
You remained the same
That's why
I'm gonna keep on loving you
Through the joy and pain
I've had 9's and 10's
But I couldn't find
All the beauty that's in you
Sensitive lover
How beautiful you are
You satisfy my every need
Sensitive lover
You went and raised the bar
From your head to your feet
Girl you so complete
So complete
Sensitive lover
How beautiful you are
You satisfy my every need
Sensitive lover
You went and raised the bar
From your head to your feet
Girl you so complete
So complete

Holiday

@[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.
Punchline

Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

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.
