In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
You told me you would love me forever
You told me you would alway's do me right, oh
When you said that you had to leave I thought I would die
When I didn't have you right by my side
Now I'm Over You
Now I'm over You, I knew I would get over you
No matter how long it takes
Now I'm over you, I knew I would get over you
I want to thank you for walkin' out my life
Remember when we made love at night, hmm, hmm, hmm
Remember when you kised and held me tight, oh ye-yea-yeah
Remember when you promised that I'll never cry
You know I cried myself to sleep every night
That's why I'm over you, oh
Now I'm over You, I knew I would get over you
No matter how long it takes
Now I'm over you, I knew I would get over you
I want to thank you for walkin' out my life
What about my feelings?
What about my pride?
What about my heart I gave to you?
What about the years I was blind.
What what about the times I picked you up when you were down
But I guess it don't mean the same to you
That's why I can't get over you, whoa
Now I'm over You, I knew I would get over you
No matter how long it takes
Now I'm over you, I knew I would get over you
I want to thank you for walkin' out my life
Now I'm over You, I knew I would get over you
No matter how long it takes
Now I'm over you, I knew I would get over you
I want to thank you for walkin' out my life
For getting me over you, oh
You told me you would alway's do me right, oh
When you said that you had to leave I thought I would die
When I didn't have you right by my side
Now I'm Over You
Now I'm over You, I knew I would get over you
No matter how long it takes
Now I'm over you, I knew I would get over you
I want to thank you for walkin' out my life
Remember when we made love at night, hmm, hmm, hmm
Remember when you kised and held me tight, oh ye-yea-yeah
Remember when you promised that I'll never cry
You know I cried myself to sleep every night
That's why I'm over you, oh
Now I'm over You, I knew I would get over you
No matter how long it takes
Now I'm over you, I knew I would get over you
I want to thank you for walkin' out my life
What about my feelings?
What about my pride?
What about my heart I gave to you?
What about the years I was blind.
What what about the times I picked you up when you were down
But I guess it don't mean the same to you
That's why I can't get over you, whoa
Now I'm over You, I knew I would get over you
No matter how long it takes
Now I'm over you, I knew I would get over you
I want to thank you for walkin' out my life
Now I'm over You, I knew I would get over you
No matter how long it takes
Now I'm over you, I knew I would get over you
I want to thank you for walkin' out my life
For getting me over you, oh

@[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.

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

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.
Plastic Bag

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.
