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 we're together
We can do just whatever
We don't care what the weather
If the feelings much better
Will we give up? No never!
We will stay TOGETHER
Chorus:
We'll grow together
If we rise up together
We'll be stronger together
For much longer together
And we'll make it together
We'll go on forever...
Life is for living
Taking chances, forgiving
And for dreaming surprises
In the sun when it rises
With the warmth of disguises
We'll live life TOGETHER
Chorus
Hear us, we're singing
there's no message we're bringing
If you listen to our voice
And remember its your choice
We have reason to celebrate
And sing TOGETHER
Chorus
We can do just whatever
We don't care what the weather
If the feelings much better
Will we give up? No never!
We will stay TOGETHER
Chorus:
We'll grow together
If we rise up together
We'll be stronger together
For much longer together
And we'll make it together
We'll go on forever...
Life is for living
Taking chances, forgiving
And for dreaming surprises
In the sun when it rises
With the warmth of disguises
We'll live life TOGETHER
Chorus
Hear us, we're singing
there's no message we're bringing
If you listen to our voice
And remember its your choice
We have reason to celebrate
And sing TOGETHER
Chorus

@[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.

Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental 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.
