@[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.
Girl come running
Girl come running
Girl come running home
When you get tired of running around
(Runnin' around, all over town)
All of your friends putting you down
(Puttin' you down, all over town)
Don't do your crying alone
(All alone)
Well baby girl come running home
Some day you'll be feelin' so low
(Lower than low, nowhere to go)
Why don't you call on me girl, that's when I'll show
(I love you so, I love you so)
Don't do your crying alone
(All alone)
Hey baby
Girl come running home
Was it so bad girl?
Just think of what we had
I need you so
(Come on baby, come on baby)
Don't ever go
(Come on baby, come on baby)
You're gonna get lost feelin' so blue
(Bluer that blue, baby it's true)
And don't you forget that I'm feelin it too
(Bluer than blue, baby it's true)
Well don't do your crying alone
(All alone)
Whoa baby
Girl come running
Girl come running
Girl come running home
Come on baby,
Come on baby,
Come on baby,
Come on baby
Come on baby,
Come on baby,
Come on baby,

Well baby girl come running home
Some day you'll be feelin' so low
(Lower than low, nowhere to go)
Why don't you call on me girl, that's when I'll show

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.
