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.
[Blaine:]
Oh, yeah, mhm
You look in my eyes
And I get emotional inside
I know it's crazy, but
You still can touch my heart
And after all this time
You'd think that I
Wouldn't feel the same
But time melts into nothing
And nothing's changed
I still believe
That someday you and me
Will find ourselves in love again
Oh, baby, yeah
I had a dream
You and me
Will find ourselves in love again
[New Directions (Blaine):]
(I) I still believe (Baby, I do)
Someday you and me

Just give me one more try
In love again

Got stacks on deck like he savin' up

And he ill, he real, he might gotta deal
He pop bottles and he got the right kind of bill
He cold, he dope, he might be broke
He always in the air, but he never fly coach
He a total freakin' (trip, trip), sailor of the (ship, ship)
When he make it (drip, drip) kiss him on the (lip, lip)

And yes you'll get slapped if you're lookin' hoe
I said, (excuse me you're a hell of a guy)
I mean (my, my, my, my you're like pelican fly)
I mean, (you're so shy and I'm loving your tie)
(You're like slicker than the guy with the thing on his eye, oh)
(Yes I did, yes I did), somebody please tell him (who the hell I is)
I am (Nicki Minaj), I mack them dudes up
Back coupes up
And chuck the deuce up

Beating like a drum and it's coming your way

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Holiday

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.

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.
