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.
Now's all we got
And time can't be bought
I know it inside my heart
Forever will forever be ours
Even if we try to forget
Love will remember
You said you loved me, I said I loved you back
What happened to that? What happened to that?
All your promises, and all them plans we had
What happened to that? What happened to that?
Boom, gone
Yeah, we move on
Even if we try to forget
Love will remember you
And love will remember me
I know it inside my heart
Forever will forever be ours
Even if we try to forget
Love will remember, love will remember
Love will remember, love will remember, love will remember
The trips we dreamed of taking
The tacks left on the map
What happened to that? What happened to that?
When all you had was nothing
And all we did was laugh
What happened, what happened, what happened to that?
Boom, gone
Yeah, we move on
Even if we try to forget
Love will remember you
And love will remember me
I know it inside my heart
Forever will forever be ours
Even if we try to forget
Love will remember, love will remember
Love will remember, love will remember, love will remember
Love will remember, love will remember
Love will remember, love will remember
Break down the walls let heaven in
Somewhere in forever, we'll dance again
We used to be inseparable
I used to think that I was irreplaceable
We lit the whole world up, before we blew it up
I still don't know just how we screwed it up
Forever, forever, forever
Love will remember you
And love will remember me
I know it inside my heart
Forever will forever be ours
Even if we try to forget
Love will remember, love will remember
Love will remember, love will remember, love will remember
Love will remember, love will remember
Love will remember, love will remember
And time can't be bought
I know it inside my heart
Forever will forever be ours
Even if we try to forget
Love will remember
You said you loved me, I said I loved you back
What happened to that? What happened to that?
All your promises, and all them plans we had
What happened to that? What happened to that?
Boom, gone
Yeah, we move on
Even if we try to forget
Love will remember you
And love will remember me
I know it inside my heart
Forever will forever be ours
Even if we try to forget
Love will remember, love will remember
Love will remember, love will remember, love will remember
The trips we dreamed of taking
The tacks left on the map
What happened to that? What happened to that?
When all you had was nothing
And all we did was laugh
What happened, what happened, what happened to that?
Boom, gone
Yeah, we move on
Even if we try to forget
Love will remember you
And love will remember me
I know it inside my heart
Forever will forever be ours
Even if we try to forget
Love will remember, love will remember
Love will remember, love will remember, love will remember
Love will remember, love will remember
Love will remember, love will remember
Break down the walls let heaven in
Somewhere in forever, we'll dance again
We used to be inseparable
I used to think that I was irreplaceable
We lit the whole world up, before we blew it up
I still don't know just how we screwed it up
Forever, forever, forever
Love will remember you
And love will remember me
I know it inside my heart
Forever will forever be ours
Even if we try to forget
Love will remember, love will remember
Love will remember, love will remember, love will remember
Love will remember, love will remember
Love will remember, love will remember

@[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,

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 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.
