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.
She may try to tell you that she's never ever felt a fiery kiss
She may look into your eyes and say I've never known the love like this
She may say her body's never felt the heat from love's burnin' flame
Ah but she'll remember when she hears my name
She may look at you and say no one else has occupied her mind
She may say it's virgin ground and then you'll think it's called the waitin' time
Then you'll whisper words to her she'll tell you that you're the first to say
Ah but she'll remember when she thinks of yesterday
Now I don't wanna be the one to mess upon the things you've done
Cause I know you think you wanna cry
But if you ever doubt she's true there's one thing you shouldn't do
Don't ever look into her eyes
She may say she's never said I love you to another man before
She might forget the times we bluffed and all the times I heard her beg for more
She may try to face it out and yet behind her eyes it's still the same
Yes but she'll remember when she hears my name
Yes but she'll remember when she hears my name
She may look into your eyes and say I've never known the love like this
She may say her body's never felt the heat from love's burnin' flame
Ah but she'll remember when she hears my name
She may look at you and say no one else has occupied her mind
She may say it's virgin ground and then you'll think it's called the waitin' time
Then you'll whisper words to her she'll tell you that you're the first to say
Ah but she'll remember when she thinks of yesterday
Now I don't wanna be the one to mess upon the things you've done
Cause I know you think you wanna cry
But if you ever doubt she's true there's one thing you shouldn't do
Don't ever look into her eyes
She may say she's never said I love you to another man before
She might forget the times we bluffed and all the times I heard her beg for more
She may try to face it out and yet behind her eyes it's still the same
Yes but she'll remember when she hears my name
Yes but she'll remember when she hears my name

@[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.
