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.
I woke up stressin' yesterday
I went to sleep the same way
First thing that I saw this morning was your face,
I think today I'll be okay
Thank You, baby
Amazing how just one kiss
(Just one kiss alone)
Makes the drama not exist
[Chorus]
And when the walls start closing in
Then there's you (rescuing me)
And when the world starts crumbling (crumbling)
Then there's you.
If I got nothing else, there's always you.
And your soothing massage
After I been working hard
You cater to my needs unselfishly
And in this crazy world you are my sanity
I thank you, baby
Amazing how just one kiss
Makes the drama not exist
(It don't exist anymore)
[Chorus]
Bridge
Oh, she's the only one that knows how to calm my nerves Thank you, baby, thank you baby)
Oh, I don't mind if nobody else knows but her, but her
[Chorus: x2]
I went to sleep the same way
First thing that I saw this morning was your face,
I think today I'll be okay
Thank You, baby
Amazing how just one kiss
(Just one kiss alone)
Makes the drama not exist
[Chorus]
And when the walls start closing in
Then there's you (rescuing me)
And when the world starts crumbling (crumbling)
Then there's you.
If I got nothing else, there's always you.
And your soothing massage
After I been working hard
You cater to my needs unselfishly
And in this crazy world you are my sanity
I thank you, baby
Amazing how just one kiss
Makes the drama not exist
(It don't exist anymore)
[Chorus]
Bridge
Oh, she's the only one that knows how to calm my nerves Thank you, baby, thank you baby)
Oh, I don't mind if nobody else knows but her, but her
[Chorus: x2]

Holiday
Bee Gees
Bee Gees
@[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.
Magical

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
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.
